AI boom and Cryptocoin mining will eat up all the spare energy.
We are fucked.
Unless AI and Crypto crash soon. Which maybe even Trump/Elon/Peter Thiel cannot prevent. As I've said before: presidents do not control the economy. Things will crash when they want to crash....
Some sense to this - global emissions probably just peaked because China's housing bubble burst - responsible for much more CO2 than AI/crypto, and even a communist government can't effectively control such crashes. So no, we are not f****d, but not always saved for noble reasons.
Also regarding crypto - how much of that was sustained by russians evading sanctions - which new team in US is likely to remove ?
Yeah, this statement here is likely closer to the truth than what I wrote earlier.
Hmmm.
Non noble reasons ehhhh? Does Team Trump really want to open free trade with Russia? That really goes against his platform of isolationist racists.
I know Elon Musk wants trade with Russia for that Lithium, Aluminum and Titanium. But Trump also cannot look weak.
Elon will have huge influence (he did appear in the Ukrainian x Trump talk after all). But officially I don't think I've seen anything suggesting Elon Musk influence over foreign policy.
