Treating humanity as a problem means causing more so many more problems for actual humans. It degrades relationships, destroys our creative industries, makes work less meaningful, pollutes our world and causes a whole host of other social, physical and mental health issues.

Instead of helping humans learn, grow & be creative, they want to outsource both learning and creativity to computers. Instead of focusing on how to live a healthy, meaningful long life, they think they can somehow end death.

One of the things that drives me crazy about the tech industry is that they are not trying to solve human problems, because they see humanity itself as a problem. Instead of dealing with the human problems of interpersonal relationships, they want to replace human friendships with chat bots.

Would he want to? The video will also absolutely be used as propaganda for anti-American extremism.

We will end up seeing the US public execution, even though we don't want to. Our kids will end up seeing it. Clips will be EVERYWHERE & shared to troll people. It will be impossible not to see them at some point. This is from the people who insist our children need to be protected from literature.

Guys, I think I’ve finally lost it. While I was unloading the dishwasher I caught myself softly singing Agadoo.

This reminds me of @naomialderman.bsky.social’s advice on not treating real people as symbols. (I highly recommend DON’T BURN ANYONE AT THE STAKE TODAY.) themomoftheyear.substack.com/p/im-the-mom...

International relations cannot normalize until the entire US system is changed to limit presidential power. The US has twice elected a corrupt, vindictive & unreliable president, proving America is an untrustworthy ally & business partner. The USA will elect another would-be dictator in the future.

This is why I fear AI (well, this & the gargantuan privacy/cybersecurity/scamming/sabotage/enshittification issues). AI does not need consciousness to be lethal. There will be a major catastrophe soon because of its overuse by powerful idiots or malicious actors. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

It seems unfair. How much talent does one woman need? Couldn’t she share a little with the rest of us?

Things I was frightened of as a child: - the rabid dog in a poster that warned about importing rabies to the UK - the Doctor Who theme tune - the rabbit of death from Watership Down - nuclear weapons

25 years ago was my first day working at a Toronto museum. There was no TV and the commentary on the radio was fragmented and sounded delusional. My step-sister was in NY & we couldn’t contact her. I went home. My housemates were watching TV & as I walked in the first tower fell. It was horrifying.

A wonderful book that I continue to come back to & recommend to others! Thank you for writing it.

Kate Blair @kateblair.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Does this basically mean that anyone (academic or otherwise) who uses tools like codex where drafts/work in progress can be scraped by AI are now in serious danger of having their work scooped/stolen? Because that’s a hell of a terrifying prospect for a lot of people.

No. As long as American trade and foreign policy can be subject to the whims of any one man (or an oligarchy of billionaires), this will absolutely happen again. Change that, then trust can be slowly rebuilt.

Ontario’s name is from the Iroquois word “kanadario”, which translates as ‘sparkling’ water. America can call it ‘The Mad King’s Paddling Pool’ for all I care We will not be changing Lake Ontario’s name.

I also love Would I Lie to you. Panel game, and especially worth watching when Bob Mortimer is on.

If you ‘only use AI for research’ and by some miracle, get your facts right, your work still suffers! It’s the unexpected details found in research that bring your work to life. It’s rabbit holes & deep dives that uncover fascinating facts & texture. There’s loads you don’t know that you don’t know!

Once, at boarding, two guys behind me were literally holding their passed-out-drunk friend between them, Weekend at Bernie’s style.Needless to say, they did not get on the plane. The only empty seats were the three directly across the aisle from me.

I was reading a book recently where the main character kept making terrible choice for no apparent reason and this was exactly what it felt like.

Kate Blair @kateblair.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Honestly, at this point I think this is the path to financial viability for AI. Most people would pay good money to have it out of their lives completely.

I was mentioning to our kid on our walk in the neighborhood yesterday (where we ran into many friends), that some people are afraid of Toronto, and they also thought it was absurd.
