Rat poison sales need to drop to zero.
Every owl you see is eating 1,000+ rodents a year.
Every hawk you see is keeping pests in check.
Quit poisoning them. 🦉

This is actually a serious crisis that’s going to affect us more than most people realize in the next few decades. It’s quite literally existential to both the global ecosystem and human civilization.

Courtesy of my nephew:
A deer in the headlights, a boiling frog, and a canary in the coal mine walk into a bar.
The barkeep looks up and says, “Oh look, it's the four horsemen of the apocalypse.”
The deer and the frog look confused.
The canary chirps, “But… there’s only three of us.”
The barkeep pauses, then sighs. “Yeah. Biodiversity loss is a bitch."
He sets down two glasses.
“So - what will you two have?”

Indeed.
In the first ages of AI, writing a program to play checkers or chess or Jeopardy or Go was seen as an analog to human intelligence.
In this current age, language is the proxy for human intelligence.
Both yielded interesting results; both have vastly misunderstood the exquisite and messy nature of human intelligence, consciousness, and sentience.

A strikingly lucid column from @mims. The Turing Test has become the Turing Trap. One of my favorite aspects of AI is that it essentially acts as an invariant which distinguishes between modes of human cognition that were previously harder to tease apart. The nut graf: "At the time, language was thought to be closely associated with reasoning, but modern neuroscience shows us that it’s a separate process. Speaking isn’t the same as thinking, let alone being." wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-too…

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

Forty years ago, punk rock bands like the Sex Pistols ("Holidays in the Sun") and The Dead Kennedys ("Holiday in Cambodia") mocked privileged, brain dead leftists who fawned over communist dictatorships
Now we have the putrid Kneecap doing exactly that in Cuba — enjoying a cheap holiday in other people's misery
They're not rebels — they're the most conformist lot ever

FYI the ai public backlash is working.
companies like Disney are avoiding using AI in their work cus when general population noticed its AI we have a negative outcry.
what im trying to say is AI hate is working. keep it up!!! maybe we will see this tech become obsolete.

William Shatner is 95 today!
Bill’s Twilight Zone episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” (1963) remains one of TV’s most iconic moments. Shatner captures sheer terror and unravelling paranoia locked in a metal tube miles high, seeing something no one believes. Just brilliant.

Love of corporate bullshit is correlated with bad judgment

<- Cory Doctorow on the correlation between use of corporate-speak and incompetence…
(Also, he links to The Register, a story I suggested!)
Unstated: I bet it's also linked to "AI" use.
