Empirically a monkey did already creat the works of Shakespeare in a mere 13billion years. This is the time it took for the universe to form, earth to evolve to create a monkey that could write all those words down. The entire process from start to finish is way more complicated and random than anyone typing 26 character randomly into the keyboard. But I guess we are talking about uniform distributions here.
You're replacing a hypothetical situation meant to illustrustrate mathematics with something else. The monkeys don't eat, evolve, age, conspire, have agendas or agency, they type randomly as a means to invoke visual imagery of a monkey slamming it's hands down ignorantly on a typewriter. It's chaotic slamming is the "input" that gets eventually distributed in different ways, one of which, if given enough time, will be identical to shakespeare.
Assuming implications to theology or genetic sequencing where none were given is a reflection of your ability to handle rational discussion of the material.
This sub-thread moved on from the original hypothesis as soon as innagadadavida put forward his non-empirical empirical example. Take it up with him, he may also enjoy your evaluation of his rationality.
I’m skeptical that the entities that created this problem - first world countries, industries, politicians all supported by scientific advances can/will solve the problem they created.
The industry will look for a profit motive to solve this. The scientists will look for a publication and fame motive. The politicians will try to grab more power. The poor animals and other third world country people who had nothing to do with this will bear the brunt. Only time will tell.
If I drive to my office and use their solar charger to charge my EV (which conveniently comes from China) while it's there, or if I'm lucky enough to have a wfh job and then charge it during the day while I'm working, why wouldn't it?
Though the other thing to note is that Texas and thus the US is now a net exporter of oil, the opposite of the 70' oil crisis.
Regardless of their intentions, energy independence is a huge thing for a country's sovereignty.
It used to be nearly impossible to game Google for search engine results and for some reason over the last 8-10 years, its become comical how easy it is to game them for good search results now.
That is because Google realized that there is an optimal compromise between "good search" and "more ad revenue", and that "optimal" is quite far away from "good search". Better than no search, but not by much. In fact, in between searching Wikipeda and simply memorizing/bookmarking the best websites for niche topics, I have stopped using search because the results on the first page are absolutely useless.
More than the money, they were able to attract top talent and avoid regulations and senate hearings by calling themselves OpenAI. Genius move even by scamster standards.
