Technically, yes, but it's a similar relationship of humans being animals. If you say animals, the audience will assume you're not talking about humans.
Emissions are trending downward because of shift from coal to natural gas, growth in renewable energy, energy efficiencies, among other things. Major oil and gas companies in the US like Chevron and ExxonMobil have spent millions on lobbying efforts to resist stricter climate regulations and fight against the changes that led to this trend, so I'd say they are the closest to these evil corporations OP described. Additionally, the current administration refers to doing anything about climate change a "climate religion", so this downward trend will likely slow.
The climate regulations are still quite weak. Without a proper carbon tax, a US company can externalize the costs of carbon emissions and get rich by maximizing their own emissions.
Great video. As a counterpoint to the video author's claims, it's worth pointing out that Devin doesn't have to be anywhere close to as fast as a human software engineer to be useful. Even if it turns an hour task to a day long task, it's still going to cost a fraction of what it would to pay the engineer, so that bar it must meet is quite low.
While the things we build will inevitably end at some point, the ideas they inspire in others will live on through their creations and so on. Exploring and executing on ideas is perhaps the biggest impact any of us can have on future generations.
Consistently finding and hiring the right people over time is just too difficult to be truly sustainable over multiple generations. A project will always be a few bad hires away from collapse.
Maybe a sufficiently advanced AI serving as the "right person" in a governance role is the long-term sustainable solution to this, once that is a capability. Sounds crazy now, but probably less so in 10-20 years.
