This is incredibly depressing, but also what if that's bad for animals and bugs and stuff? Seems like it could cause serious problems all the way up the food chain.

If in a decade our biggest concern are taking care of biodiversity, I'm actually gonna be pretty happy

Taking care of biodiversity is already our biggest concern. If everything dies, so do we.

I meant more like, if the average human being has the capacity to actually care about biodiversity and the political power and will to do anything about it, and not like, fighting for survival in the water wars while dodging AI killbots

Maybe the ai killbots will find an interest in the bugs and biodiversity

LLM's protecting bugs? I mean, they can be overly confident, sure...I had one suggest that I add %BasicallyAllUsers ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/chmod * * to a sudoers dropin the other day.
