Neil Degrassi Highson @chhurpi.bsky.social · 08/09/2026this is a really good analogy imo. i always think of natural selection in this context too. we have such poor intuition around googologically large numbers it seems impossible. evolution is “just” minor mutations over millions of years, so there had to be a designer 030

First, that's a dangerous condition for a plane - we'll be enjoying some exciting aeronautics. But isn't the correct spelling "tailspin" aha - this pilot is a bear.

Neil Degrassi Highson @chhurpi.bsky.social · 16/06/2026And actually I haven’t seen AI used to excuse cutting jobs really, personally at least, I know it’s happening elsewhere, but more as a *threat* of cutting jobs so the people left work more (and burn out faster. but that’s business.) 000
