Don't worry, just a few more months until we get AGI and all of our problems magically disappear as the singularity changes everything forever.

Why care for current iterations of nature, when we will all get to experience infinite varities of it as immortal digital consciousnesses?

There is a very real contingent of people driving AI who genuinely believe this. And it is this belief that allows them to avoid their cognitive dissonance around the negative externalities of their work. For the environment, and really for the future of humanity too.

The /s tag weakens the post. Glad to see I got downvotes--hopefully a few of these incredibly wealthy people in positions of power had to, for even a brief moment, consider their beliefs.
