TESCREALISM is a billionaire ideology which aims to create super-intelligent AI as a “worthy successor to humanity”.

The ruling class is most likely gonna put particles into the atmosphere to cool down the planet (With unforeseeable consequences for the rest of us of course) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injection

They put “AI data-center” satellites into the orbit that so they can continue their pursuit of super-intelligent AI even after fucking the sky. In addition, the reentry of said satellites has the potential to destroy the ozone layer.

We are almost certainly gonna experience societal collapse within our lifetime.

      no, it won’t, the problems are still there. lifting anything to orbit is incredibly expensive, communication with it hard, cooling somewhere between highly complicated and impossible, and maintenance still impossible.

      it will be a lot easier to just start shooting into people trying to demolish the data center on earth.

      the problem and perceived solution is a lot like this:

        Yes, but billionaires completely fail to understand or refuse to accept that they are living on earth off the rest of us.

          whether they do or don’t, i fail to see how it connects to discussed problem. they are fucking greedy sociopaths, they are not going to do something that is technologically impossible and would lose them money.
