AI: World likely to hit key warming threshold in 10-12 years

https://phys.org/news/2023-01-ai-world-key-threshold-.html The world will likely breach the internationally agreed-upon climate change threshold in about a decade, and keep heating to break through a next warming limit around mid-century even with big pollution cuts, artificial intelligence predicts in a new study that's more pessimistic than previous modeling.

1. And people wonder why we haven't yet met alien intelligent/technological species.

This is why. We kill ourselves long before we can actually cross the galaxy.

2. Intelligence has never been a survival strategy before.

and evidence looks like it may be a very poor one.

It's only been a feature of one species, (maybe two if you count Neanderthals), and it's only been around for about 200,000 years which is nothing in the evolutionary timeline of 3.7 billion years. Our advanced technology ability has only been around less than 200 years which is less than nothing.

Intelligence may just be a quick blip on life's timeline that quickly disappears because it wipes itself out.
Afterwards, life on earth will be back to species that only react to their environment instead of attempting to manipulating it.

4. Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Humans could have played out this scenario before.

3. AI will start building underground bunkers for itself.

Let the idiot humans kill themselves, what do they care?
