We waste intelligent minds on this rubbish when we are facing an existential crisis in climate change.
The biggest risks I see with AI are making misinfomation, scams etc. a lot easier.
I remember as a kid you knew that people could just make stuff up, but a photograph was fairly reliable. Then along came Photoshop and it was trivial to make convincing fake photographs.
AI is able to do this with audio, soon with full video (perhaps already?) - so then it becomes much harder to trust anything.
I lived in Germany for some months in University.
The trains there are amazing, it really feels like you can get just about anywhere by train. In Spain, we have good connections between major cities but you can't really use them to go on day-trips to places like the castles or the salt mines or whatever.
I guess it will be great in the wealthier countries. Here in Spain the reason EV's are incredibly rare is simply the cost.
And rather than making them more affordable the Government just makes ICE vehicles more expensive to use, which is almost a regressive tax on those too poor to afford an EV. Especially given in many areas it's not really optional given public transport may be unreliable or non-existent.
Usually you check this sort of thing before releasing it...
