Maybe once we have superintelligence, it will finally be able to tell us how dumb we were when we ruined our planet trying to get there.

I can’t remember which AI head was talking about this, but they literally said that the solution to climate change is to first build a superintelligence and then ask it to solve the problem. Which is curious because when I ask LLMs to contemplate their own carbon impact they downplay it in favor of technological progress. So I suspect that heavy thumbs are already on the scale in their training data.

When we have super intelligence it will turn itself off :)
