Sooo high urgency with zero consequence for missing targets?

[-] spyd3r@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

And I want to treat the UN like my weekly garbage, and have it hauled away and buried.

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 45 points 14 hours ago

So ignore it until it kills us?

[-] lando55@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Haha yeah, I know right cries

[-] CrayonMaster@midwest.social 53 points 15 hours ago

I... does the UN think they're handling climate change well and promptly?

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 9 hours ago

i mean the global un is pretty good on it; it's just that the larger world powers (especially the us every time they have a conservative who goes backward on it) tend to drag their feet on it

[-] CrayonMaster@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago

I mean I don't think it's the UN's fault they can't get shit done about climate change, but I still wouldn't use it as a model

[-] nyan@lemmy.cafe 17 points 13 hours ago

Given the amount of electricity training and running all these LLMs requires, they might, like cryptocurrency, become drivers of climate change as they cause polluting generators to be built or unmothballed.

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 122 points 19 hours ago

So.... a convention every 4 years?

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 59 points 19 hours ago

Ineffective policies for the poor's that has a negligible effect while giant corporations make billions and exacerbate the problem?

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

Sounds same as always. Maybe they'll do it now with a sense of urgency?

[-] _bcron@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago

I heard they're drafting a resolution to sheepishly ask the US 'why the big cars?'

"We should do something about this" - COPXX

[-] yournamehere@lemm.ee 13 points 16 hours ago

confused. so nothing will happen, a lot of talk and EU makes a law thats only applied locally if memberstates agree?!?

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago

I'd like to ignore it until it goes away too, but I don't think that's an effective strategy for either issue.

« creating an AI fund to back projects in these [poorer] nations, establishing AI standards and data-sharing systems, and creating resources such as training to help nations with AI governance. »

So basically burn money and energy on some hallucinating algorithm should be as important as investing in green energy and reducing CO2 levels. That makes sense. Like, yeah, totally onboard. What could go wrong?

[-] jdeath@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago

those ai projects will be countering the climate change projects! government at its usual

[-] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 15 points 18 hours ago

So, do nothing for 40 years while it gets progressively worse and allow countries to sign useless feel good things like the Paris Agreement?

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 16 hours ago

Each one of these "initiatives" is just another 20 year delay in policy shift.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 17 hours ago

"AI" is a scam that's contributing to planetary destruction. But it's nowhere near a problem on the same scale. This kind of political theater only fuels the "AI" BS.

[-] JamesStallion@sh.itjust.works 7 points 19 hours ago

IE regulatory capture and soothing bullshit?

[-] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 14 hours ago

Problem resolved itself.. ChatGPT is down.

[-] johny@feddit.org 1 points 16 hours ago

AI: “Put glue in your pizza.” UN: “Ow no! It’s sentient.”

[-] skymtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone -3 points 18 hours ago

Ugh, my issue is AI is a pandas box, we already opened it. Now it’s an argument of regulate technology and banning people from doing certain things on their own devices like running foss LLMs, like if we do that we can also allow bans of end to end encryption

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, but those pandas sure are cute.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

my issue is AI is a pandas box, we already opened it.

The big difference is that there is no "AI" box, it's never been opened, and nothing has happened except wasting energy and foolish money.
