As to what’s next, well: I think we’re in big trouble. AI and climate change are existential threats and both represent different paths by which blind profit-driven development have led us into a minefield of shitty outcomes, and there are very few global players left who have the capacity to steer us through this new Axial Age responsibly.
If pressed, I would say that it’s one of the few areas where I cautiously align with Musk and other conservative thinkers who acknowledge climate change as a real threat but maintain the solution will be technological. But it also presupposes a lot of cash coming in to help develop that tech and I don’t see the Trump administration giving a red cent, even as climate change is as much a security and defense issue as it is an environmental one.
