Imagine if instead of regulating drone risks the normal way (which we did), we instead paid weird bloggers lots of money to worry about superintelligent dogs sprouting thumbs and using drones to kill us.

Why We Can't Let Enormous Weirdos Regulate AI

With teeth and classes and
Patchy fur that's seen some shit.

And survives in the ugliest parts of our world,
Able to find a way to go on
When nothing else can even find a way in.

Optimism, persistence,
Perseverance and joy,
Transmissible as it drags its tail across your path
and
Bites you in the ass.
Hope is not some delicate, beautiful bird, Emily.
It's a lowly little sewer rat
That snorts pesticides like they were
Lines of coke and still
Shows up on time to work the next day
Looking no worse for wear.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vm7gxmjt6xbvr75jz7gqbmfr/bafkreih4lt2zi6iyeoulnkv3pd3ez3eslv5nz56embrnimcdzzbgo2qcqu)
