Next, they'll add AI fauna and an intelligent race much like our own. They'll jack the speed up to high and use it to see how problems in our own future might arise and be dealt with.

Every so often the administration may have to make some sort of "god" type AI to pop in and try to keep things heading on track in the directions we need it to go. I can't wait till they get up to traveling to their moon and seeing if they decide to fake it, or go at it for real. Hopefully we'll be able to keep the simulation going long enough without it destroying itself to see if they can solve interstellar travel in a way we can copy. Otherwise it'll need reset so we can try again.

Meanwhile, one level up:
"Hey, look! Our planetary simulation has developed it's own planetary simulation."
"Cool! Lets set up a pool how many recursive simulations there will be in 100 years."

I've seen the futurama episode about this

Earth 2.0's soft launch was met with modest success, but some far-right critics claim the day 1 patch, which removed racism, bigotry, and hate based on identity, makes the game "unplayable."

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Chipmaker Nvidia has shown off a clone of our entire planet that could help meteorologists simulate and visualize global weather patterns at an "unprecedented scale," according to a press release.

Customers can access the digital twin through an API, allowing "virtually any user to create AI-powered emulations to speed delivery of interactive, high-resolution simulations ranging from the global atmosphere and local cloud cover to typhoons and turbulence."

"Climate disasters are now normal — historic droughts, catastrophic hurricanes and generational floods appear in the news with alarming frequency," said Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang in a statement.

For instance, the Central Weather Administration of Taiwan wants to use the platform to forecast the precise locations of where typhoons will make landfall.

Especially with the advent of generative AI tools, the tech world has become ravenous for Nvidia's graphics cards or GPUs, which not only power those models, but platforms like Earth-2 as well.

By turning its attention to climate change and the disastrous consequences of extreme weather, Nvidia is weaponizing its AI tech for a fight that's only bound to grow in the near future.

Worst. Game. Ever.

Ray tracing. And the rest of us too!

Isn't this like season 3 of Westworld?

So, lemme get this straight. We fucked up the climate with industrialisation and uncontrolled capitalism, through energy consumption. Now, the #1 industrial company (that's two for two, if you're counting) in chip making is using one of the most energy (and there we go, 100% 🥳) intensive technology at our disposal to try and eventually have a shot at maybe keeping the climate in somewhat of a check... Am I the only one seeing this? 😶

That's the energy equivalent of giving every kid and teacher guns to "stop school shootings". 🙃

How does generative AI made these models more energy efficient, as they claim? Does the AI make the models less accurate?
