Now: Let's skip the AI build out and keep things in the right direction.
It would be really great if people started dialing back and started finding creative solutions for reusing old tech, developing less new stuff, and just slowed down the economy for a simpler life.
Or do the build out to get to economies of scale with it faster.
Decarbonization is going to happen by transitioning to non-fossil fuel electricity generation. That is, more solar, wind, and maybe nuclear power.
I don't see a plausible scenario in which there's a reduction in demand for artificial intelligence in the near future.
