benpacker··on A new way to build with Large Language Models
Is this OpenAI based, or do you host your own LLM? Can I provide my own fine tuning so that I can teach the AI to call my code better?
benpacker··on The Uninhabitable Earth (2017)
It’s mostly about the rate of change. If we went to where we’re going over a hundred thousand years or even a few thousand, ecosystems could adapt, but we’re digging up and burning hundreds of millions of years of carbon in a century

David Wallace Wells isn’t really sensationalizing beyond the title. A lot of the corresponding book (written after the article) is just a sober look at our best guess of the range of things that could happen with different emissions reductions hit - if no action is taken (and so far very little meaningful action has been taken), most of the Earth will be uninhabitable.

If a full scale society wide mobilization happens now, it will be very different, but even under the best case scenario climate related conflicts will dominate domestic and geopolitics by the late 2030s and into the rest of the century, and it will be very difficult for economic growth to exceed annual losses in infrastructure, housing, etc.
