The main distinction between the AI resignations and pronouncements is that while they say there is a >10% chance AI will wipe us out, there is a 100% chance that emissions from all the fossil fuel reserves that exist on these companies balance sheets will wipe us out.

Where war is concerned, always follow the money. We could make war obsolete if it weren’t for the profits made by the arms investors

Jane Fonda just laid out how authoritarianism operates: war is a distraction technique to strip rights at home while focusing eyes abroad. Manufactured conflict is about power consolidation. If you cannot see through the blatant playbook by now, you are willfully blind.

Possibly unpopular opinion? I think artists should get to sign the art they make for book covers. It should be right there, on the front, because it’s never been more important to showcase the humanness of art. And also there are many times when I see a beautiful cover and wonder, “Who made this?”

Not gonna lie, I still have PTSD from watching the Challenger exploded all those years ago so I found the Artemis launch incredibly stressful. Hoping space travel has some benefits for all of humanity here on earth - not holding my breath but you never know. #artemis
