This is so wholesome :-)

The image is even compatible with scrolling using dark mode, I could ask for nothing more.

Well aren't you lucky, now you get to see it again, live!:-)

I mean yeah - but I do so less for their sake and more for the reason that we should have been responsible and not actively have caused that, you know? imho at least.

There have been mass extinction events many times on earth before, and there probably will be several more times yet again, until the sun dies out or perhaps the planet does prior to that. Perhaps humans will even be around to see the next one(s) too, if we happen to survive this one. That will not negate our responsibility here, but could be true regardless.

We can only control what is within our capability to control. i.e. we need to do the right thing - e.g. reduce our impact - but the actual result of our actions is beyond our control hence I choose not to "worry" about that part of the situation.

Stoicism.

Excellent point. I edited my comment to say that air is not always on top of fire:-D.

Air is on fire.

...

Unless the fire was in space I suppose - which can't happen, so yeah, air is always on top of fire.

Edit: nope, I was wrong. Air is not always on top of fire :-P.

You can just see the brain cell firing... :-P

The planet will survive. And there is even a chance that some remnant of humanity might as well - deservedly or no. It is mainly modern society that is done for, and I do not morn its loss.

The number in the exponent is negative, so it's a very tiny value, whatever the unit.

Perhaps I came on too strong but I took it as just joking around.

But if the argument was to be real, then I note that a gun is actually quite an effective tool to accomplish its purpose, whereas AI is not truly "I"(ntelligent).

Yeah, good luck with that...

1+1=your mom

I'm not holding out any hope for "good" AI for a very long time...

How soon until the wedding? (Based on the stipulation that the phrase "if you love it so much, why don't you marry it?" is still true)
