I don't see how your point has been proven...when I stated that the climate always changes, with or without humans. It would change our stance to mitigation instead of a delusion that we can avoid these climatic impacts to any meaningful degree. Climate change is going to happen no matter how much CO2 we sequester & even if we block out the sun. Don't get me wrong, I expect the climate to drastically change as we are heading into a period of a grand solar minimum, which leads to erratic solar & terrestrial activity, given that the Magnetosphere is underpowered & Earth is less shielded from Cosmic Radiation & CMEs. The climate is changing, has always been changing, & always will be changing. The climate has never been static.
Sequestering too much CO2 could cause ecological damage, as plants rely on CO2 for food. As for blocking out the sun...well, I hope one does not need much imagination to grasp the impacts on life it would have. In short, interventions often have unintended consequences, particularly when the operating models are incorrect.
> Leading question; Of course not. > Making an open-source model means all the sociopaths get an open source AI you have no control over.
I'm operating under the assumption that Psychopaths & Sociopaths are attracted to positions of dominance, meaning Government, Political Influence, and large economic institutions such as Banks & Corporations.
Distributing power provides less leverage for psychopaths & sociopaths. Open Source AI provides choice & mitigation strategies while closed source & regulated AI leads to leveraged control which would be a focal point for the psychopaths & sociopaths to be attracted to & leverage. Given the atrocious state of political affairs & the extreme concentration of Psychopaths with political power, I don't see we can avoid an abusive regulatory regime with such a critical piece of technology. I would have no power over a regulatory process, but a regulatory process would have power over me & my ability to mitigate any dangers that can be caused by people abusing AI.
A long wolf in a basement will not have enough compute power to cause major problems using AI. A corporation or a government, in charge of the regulatory apparatus is far more likely to cause major problems.
If a lone wolf causes problems with AI, law enforcement will move in & shut down the operation. If a politically connected corporation, bank, or the government that controls the regulatory apparatus causes problems with AI, then there are no other options than to use the "approved" problematic AI systems or to "illegally" mitigate the problematic AI systems...
