Subject: Re: Things That AI Won't Change
A big change in the rate any time soon is pretty unlikely, but even a very slow rate of acceleration can make a big difference over time, like an ion thruster.
To achieve one meter of sea level rise by 2100 the rate of rise will have to increase exponentially from present rates. That exponential curve, would have to hit a rate of 20mm/year in the period of 2080-2100, a rate twice of what occurred during the post ice age melt of the Holocene transgression. I won't be here, but I'll bet against that.
