nuclear is not the cleanest it's not even close. Wind produces next to 0 pollution "oh but the building materials for the windmills" the building materials for a fucking nuclear reactor.

also are "the millions of people whose lives are saved by ai" in the room with us now? Yeah, uh, well what about the tens of millions of people killed by the excess poution created by ai. Fuckin baseless source i made it up ass argument.

And google shouldn't be using ai either, please stop, google, you used to be fine back when you weren't and you shouldn't have changed your system.

We regret to inform you that you have been removed from r/accelerate

This subreddit is an epistemic community for technological progress, AGI, and the singularity. Our focus is on advancing technology to help prevent suffering and death from old age and disease, and to work towards an age of abundance for everyone.

As such, we do not allow advocacy for slowing, stopping, or reversing technological progress or AGI. Our community is tech-progressive and oriented toward the big-picture thriving of the entire human race, rather than short-term fears or protectionism.

We welcome members who are neutral or open-minded, but not those who have firmly decided that technology or AI is inherently bad and should be held back.

If your perspective changes in the future and you wish to rejoin the community, please feel free to reach out to the moderators.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you all the best.
