An individual in Canada used ChatGPT for eight months to plan one of the country’s worst mass shootings. Yet, if you listen to politicians and media, the real threat of AI is a fantastical scenario where it might wipe out humans in ten years. They need to stop getting fooled by tech deceivers.

Generative AI is harming people today. We don’t need to waste time fantasizing about science fictional scenarios.

Look, as much as I appreciate the pun (and believe me I DO APPRECIATE THE PUN), if you need a sign to explain your bike rack is a bike rack, it's not a good bike rack. #bikesky
Two large metal decorative sculptures of baking whisks outside the Zingermans Bakehouse in Ann Arbor. There's a sign next to them that says "Don't let your bike get whisked away! Park it here!"

ACTION ALERT 🚨 Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue! Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/...
Action alert graphic. A man holds a sign next to a bike lane that says "Everyone deserves safe streets!" Below the image is white text on a black background: "Tell congress: Funding for Bike Safety Projects MUST Continue! bikeleague.org/action-center"Action alert graphic. White text on a black background: "Congress Must Save America's Bike Lanes
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy erased the data that shows bike lanes reduce crashes and don’t cause congestion. Then he asked Congress to defund all bike lanes — and even remove bike lanes from busy roads.

Now, Congress may be listening: the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict what kinds of roads could have bike lanes on them at all. 

We need everyone in Congress to hear us clearly: bike lanes save lives and bicyclists have a right to ride on the roads and get home safely. 

Tell your elected representatives: vote NO on any transportation reauthorization bill that would restrict the ability of federal funding to be used on bike safety projects. bikeleague.org/action-center"

1. Dude saying "I just need to shame people for their views on helmets"
2. Dude lying in bed, thinking "I just need to shame people for their views on helmets"
3. An infinite loop of "Drivers kill and maim people on bikes" -> "Helmet shaming and helmet shaming-shaming" -> "pointless, endless arguments on bsky"
