Reply to comment by HeinrichTheWolf_17 in is it ignorant for me to constantly have the singularity in my mind when discussing the future/issues of the future? by blxoom

I was responding to OP who was basically making the point that we don't need to worry about climate change because AGI will be trillions of times smarter than humans by 2050 (paraphrased). My point was that we do need to worry about it and do something about it with whatever methods we have available (which right now is mainly just limiting emissions and transitioning to a green economy) rather than just assuming the Singularity will save us. I don't disagree with what you said, it just is misinterpreting what the point of my comment is. You're right that I was talking about AGI, because thats what OP was talking about.

I dont blame you if you didn't read his post though. It was a bit of a mess.

Yeah, the idea of dropping all the research out of other fields of science is silly. It’s not like the people in that field would even have the qualifications to work in Machine Learning.
