The climate crisis couldn’t be solved with such a small sum of money
852 billion isn’t ‘a small sum of money’. And thats just OpenAI - add to it what Google, MS, Meta etc have spent and I’ll bet you’ll get close.
addressing world hunger would decimate our economies
What will decimate the global economy is the correction that will happen when either AI proves to be a folly or investors realise they’ll never recoup what they’ve paid out. Or when theres mass unemployment cos AI has taken all the human jobs. We’re cooked whichever way it goes.
I feel as though people in 3rd world countries will be hit the hardest. Most of the jobs in first world countries can already be done much, much cheaper by foreign workers. Although we could outsource everything, it feels like we give people jobs just to keep people busy.
In the next two decades, I’m convinced that the countries that can’t afford to invest in AI and automation will be hit the hardest. The value of their work will be reduced, and richer nations will not freely share the technology.
…it was my point about world hunger. Things are set up to where the global poor have just enough money to by food and shelter. Their low wages are why people in my country have such a high standard of living.

not taken jobs, but laying people in such massive amounts, and “rehiring” cheaper employees that have been outsourced.
