A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

So climate change collapse in the next 10 years, rather than the next 30. Great, thanks AI. I hope you all have fun reasoning your way around keeping the power plants and data centers running through Category 7 hurricanes and wildfires the size of Pennsylvania, without any humans to clean up the damage.
No, see, if we just give it all the energy, burn our skies and boil our oceans to make AI better, then it'll for sure tell us how to unfuck everything.
