What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Ehhhh... He's not wrong. AI is going to be a bigger deal than all of those. ASI has the potential to fix those other issues or be an even bigger problem than any of them. One way or another, the world won't be the same after it arrives.

AI is going to be a bigger deal than the extinction of the human race due to infinite amounts of corporate greed?

You think there is something MORE pressing than literal extinction? That's quite something

[–] thiseggowaffles@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Yes, because the extinction of the human race due to a catastrophic AI scenario could happen even sooner than climate change could kill us all.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's ridiculous. How would that even happen

[–] shani66@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

It's not unrealistic for a dipshit fascist to put an ai in charge of a nuclear arsenal and for it to destroy the world because of a passing red balloon. That said, the ai is quite a few steps down the line of things that need to be delt with in that chain.
