Is the tech industry in a contraction cycle due to job displacement because of advanced AI?

I get it. I have definitely been there. Having worked in IT for nearly 20 years, this thread definitely made me feel that weariness.

I was being sarcastic. Sorry I definitely didn’t covey that 🤣 Because companies that claim to be so ethical and caring are doing this. I work for a big corporation, 50K employees, and I see this shit all the time. I’m getting pushed a bit myself.

Reply to comment by truthinlies in I’m Sammy Roth, an L.A. Times reporter trying to figure out where to put all the solar and wind farms we'll need to fight climate change. Is farmland the answer? AMA! by losangelestimes
Solar panels are rating 20-30 years now and only need replacement when the output is less than you require. They can then go to the 2nd hand market sometimes.
Last I heard, it's not an issue.

Ha, if they learn about the topic, would they then still have the same complaint?

Thank you for raising these important questions and for expressing them through your own personal experience. Our go-to-points about CO2 emissions and global environmental catastrophe are largely made in other comments in this thread. Depending on context, other scientists will emphasize other points and other issues. We know that reducing and eventually stopping CO2 emissions is necessary for stabilizing temperatures, and also for reducing the risk of the kinds of events we’ve studied, but how to best do this and balance it with other important trade-offs is complicated and involves a number of things outside of our particular expertise. We hope that this helps at least a little.
