Came across this paper touching on what I think that we discussed fifteen pages ago.

Abstract

The top 10% of global consumers is disproportionately responsible for transgressing planetary boundaries, causing damages for which broader society bears the costs. Here we monetise the climate change, biosphere integrity, biogeochemical cycles and freshwater-use footprints of these consumers using prices of the Environmental Prices Handbook. We find annual damages owed by the global 10% to be $1.7–$5.7 trillion, equivalent to $2.3k–$7.5k per person (in $2017). This surpasses international climate and biodiversity financing gaps. The top 10% US consumers see a bill of $19k–$63k, equal to 6–20% of their income or 0.8–3% of their wealth. The two biggest contributors to the damage bill are biodiversity loss at 47–56% of the total and climate change at 36–45%. These costs highlight the mitigation responsibility of the top 10% and illustrate the potential revenue of environmental taxes if the polluter-pays principle is adopted.

The breakdown of why the top 10% of global consumers (which includes anyone making over roughly $65k/year globally) drive a vastly disproportionate share of global ecological damage compared to developing nations.

1. Outsourcing the "Dirty" Work (Embedded Footprints)

Bu-bu-but muh tariffs r bad!!!!

Hey you and I agree, manufacturing in 3rd world countries to get around paying livable wages and offloading those costs into excess carbon emissions is bad.

I just don't refuse to do anything about it because I dont like my dad.

And that 65k earners (teachers) are the problem lol

The "Base" of the 10% (The 9%): This is made up of roughly 500 million people—teachers, nurses, software engineers, and managers living in the US, Europe, and developed parts of Asia. Their environmental footprint comes from standard modern lifestyles (driving a car, running air conditioning, eating a Western diet, and buying consumer goods).

LOL

I would also like to enslave a nation or two.

We are not so divine that the laws of thermo dynamics wont affect us.

The more, comfortable people that there are.

The more fuel you need to feed them.

The more fuel you need to power them.

The less comfortable people there are.

This is amazing. Check out this video. It's a great video alone, but at 17:31 you can see the best part.

This will validate all the AI haters so much, so enjoy.

This screenshot shows a snip from the part of this google document about the future progress of AI.

The section lists the top 5 major things that could slow AI development, the causes, and potential solutions that could stop those things from slowing AI development.

The guy making the video doesn't stop to notice this section, but I did lol

I love how it just straight up says solutions to society deliberately slowing down ai development are:

1 fuck up the economy
2 push racial division in politics
3 exploit ww3

lmao now lets all argue about which extreme we should support instead of coming to an actual solution.

So I guess this what taking "don't be evil" off the marque does [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
