This Schmidt Shit is going to go down in history as emblematic of…however our present era is viewed in hindsight, and it won’t be kind.
“We can’t stop the planet from dying, so society should dump all its money into my Ouija board business!”
It’s crap on the level of “I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half,” Nero fiddling as Rome burns, “We must join with Sauron.” Just willful self-immolation.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says it's time to fully invest in AI infrastructure because climate goals are too lofty to reach.
Schmidt's comments came at an AI summit in Washington DC on Tuesday, where he addressed the crowd and gave his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence.
"All of that will be swamped by the enormous needs of this new technology," Schmidt said. "Because it's a universal technology, and because it's the arrival of an alien intelligence… we may make mistakes with respect to how it's used, but I can assure you that we're not going to get there through conservation."
Schmidt said he thinks "we're not going to hit the climate goals anyway because we're not organized to do it."
"Yes, the needs in this area will be a problem, but I'd rather bet on AI solving the problem than constraining it and having the problem," Schmidt said.
