Imagine: you start working at the company with a good will towards them. As you learn more and see more decisions, you slowly realize how bad it is. Now you've already contributed. Then you leave.
It might be possible to build everything with this goodwill and that's how we'd still end up with a torment nexus even if you immediately drop it.
What I'm saying is, at one point you have to break the company fully.
I'm not sure what more we need to wait for, if the claim "10% it ends humanity" is not enough.
I am no fan of AI, but am hoping the solar and battery storage manufacturers are using it to assist in developing higher efficiency panels and cheaper energy storage (materials research, faster testing cycles, more experimentation, etc).
Both technologies I believe are the grim reapers of Big Oil. Once Big Oil falls (and petrostates), then we can see environmental recovery begin.
You can definitely use statistical modelling to advance science and RnD. I'm not seeing a general language model applications in this spaces. I also don't know anything about solar panel or battery manufacturing.
If anything, LLMs siphoning GPUs make doing this research harder as they're not available.

Because I'm seeing mainly hacker attacks, job insecurity, environmental impacts and vague threats with smiling faces.
