Yann LeCun ponders: twitter.com/ylecun/status/1692

"Assuming à 2% annual growth, humanity's entire power consumption will surpass:
- the entire power sent by the sun to earth in 360 years.
- the entire supply of fissile material in about 900 years.
- the entire supply of deuterium in the oceans in about 1000 years."

This assumes that energy consumption follows directly economic growth (has not been true for some time).

But lets assume that is true and human population growth will settle below 15 billion (that seems to be the case).

It would mean that each person consumes the energy equivalent of 1600 MW nuclear reactor in less than 400 years.

Grey houses inhabited by brunettes with big butts wearing neutral casual clothing has been the style for too long. Want to be part of the future? Go full platinum, upgrade your bust, paint your house vividly, and get some colorful fancy clothes. That's the next big thing.

If the climate crisis is already here (which it seems to be), that means what we've already emitted is too much, so even cutting future emissions to zero won't be enough! Actively reducing (or offsetting) the atmosphere's greenhouse gas content will be necessary as well. 🤔

I propose a sister discipline to called where instead of predicting the future, we predict things that happened in the past.

Like, "In the 2010s and 2020s, will track every call we make, every message we send, every conversation we have and with whom. What we buy, our location in realtime, every website we visit. This will make private companies the greatest intelligence gathering entities in history, beyond the wildest dreams of the or "

I had the pleasure of speaking to Émile Torres @xriskology for Inverse's The Future of Earth series about the potential problems of longtermism and how we should all be thinking about the future instead 🔮🌍
