We already know how to solve the climate crisis. We just don’t want to because it would cost too much, inconvenience us, and really upset the shareholders.

The only reason to ask AI would be like asking the butler to take out the trash, we just can’t be bothered to do even that much work and want to hit the “easy” button.

The great thing about using AI to search for aliens is that it’ll find them, whether there’s any out there or not.

Sounds about right. And I’m sure at least half of them are just click bait while the others are wishful thinking. Or just sad…
