Jensen Huang, the CEO of supercomputer chip-maker Nvidia, has for years claimed that his company’s artificial intelligence products, as some of the most advanced scientific tools in history, will help the world solve climate change, warning last year that “climate disasters are now normal.”
Yet Huang is now loudly cozying up to U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, even though Wright is fully on board with the Trump administration’s climate denial policies.
A so-called “climate science” report Wright’s Department of Energy released in July has been condemned by scores of scientists as “biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policymaking.” The report is part of the administration’s effort to overturn the scientific basis for regulating greenhouse gas emissions as pollution — the 2009 endangerment finding — under the Clean Air Act.
excluding llm’s, Im sure the inovations in deep neural networks could solve some problems in global warming but like… this is kinda like a crackhead all-in poker chips move.
I’m sure there are existing safer plans (yet to be implemented cuz companies cant profit :]]]]]] fuck us right?),its just that this push by nvidia is like their only move in order to continue “existing” with their growing wealth.
It feels like shit to live in 2025 and I feel sick. I really wish we can all collectively save this god damn planet together but it just doesn’t look like anything is happening :///
