But it'll take until 2060 before meaningful action starts, because humans only act after the disaster. It's a tendency baked in to how we operate and how we think.
I don't see that happening in 2060 or any time for that matter. We will burn all the gas, petrol and coal that is underground. All of it. I see no way to convince *everyone* that these riches should not be extracted and burned.
You really don't get the difference between a smartphone in your pocket pinging you with notifications at any time vs. going to a laptop/desktop to check up on stuff, do you?
are you actually implying that i really dont get the difference between a smartphone in your pocket pinging you with notifications at any time vs. going to a laptop/desktop to check up on stuff?
Were not gonna take any real action until it impacts human life in some really big way. Until then its just a number on a spreadsheet.
We're not gonna take any real action, especially when it will impact us badly, since this is the moment we will need even more energy to do damage control.
I see no way to convince people to stop burning all the coal, gas and petrol they can get their hands on. It's akin to tell them "hey, here is all this money, but you will let it lay there and try to survive another way".

Given how many people in "developed" countries have tried things like this, it is hardly surprising in a country that other Africans make fun of.
Everything works better when specifically designed for the application. A CPU can render in software, but a GPU does it better. A GPU may mine crypto well, but an ASIC designed for crypto and nothing else will do a much better job.
AI turns out to have some quite specific needs that GPUs don't ideally satisfy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
The fact that nothing has been detected is what makes any explanation involving known technology implausible. As you say, equipment to detect transmissions is pretty cheap now, and doubtless the US government has the very best and more expensive gear. Nobody has found anything electromagnetic, or chemical, or radiological.
Always leave room to add an explanation if it doesn't work out.
