    Literally name any single industry with anything, and AI has vastly pushed it forward. It’s way to big to type here. Just off the top of my head: climate, pharmaceutical, other biomedical stuff (neuroscience, genetics, medical advances in every possible body system), energy (that alone has THOUSANDS of huge advances), science in general (astrophysics, geophysics, chemistry, agriculture, I mean every single scientific field). I’m listing every field I can think of, because it’s that pervasive.

    The most visible advances which is just in like business/productivity for the sake of making money, I’d argue is the least important. It’s most important for a capitalist society that values profit over all else, but that’s a recipe for collapse, which is where we’re quickly headed.

      You’re getting a lot of downvotes - I think it might be helpful if you explain you are using a different sort of AI rather than LLMs or gen AI.

        People on this site are crazy, I understand. They see “AI” and instantly assume it’s all Palantir self-targeting murder drones. No amount of explaining will change crazy people’s minds, and they want to live in their own reality because it makes them feel morally superior.

        I use all kinds of models, to include diffusion models (generative), vision transformers, LSTMs, CNNs, and all kinds of classical ML methods. It really doesn’t matter if I say what the models are or not.

        lol please, go research something before you make any claims on it. No I’m not talking about datacenters fucking over the water supply or using fossil fuels, that’s bad obviously. Literally right now go google “AI used in climate science”. Just go do it. You’ll learn.

          Are we talking about machine learning which has been around for a decade or generative AI? People usually mean the latter. Machine learning isn’t what caused the AI craze.

          I honestly am curious in how an LLM could improve the climate in anyway.

          And imo leaving the datacenters out is kind of a bad faith argument, it’s the only reason why it’s everywhere. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was basically a new computation tool used by niche professions.
