To think that there is nothing to be learned and innovated on from the safety practices of other industries is lunacy. AI tools are power. They are not magical or exempt from safety practices that work for other complex systems. Governing AI requires disenchantment; break the spell.

This is so dumb. I just can’t believe there’s going to be so much destruction and displacement and disease and cost to adapt because of THIS clearly demented man and his enablers.

There’s SO MUCH legacy contamination in coastal soils. We found more than 1400 administratively active sites in the SF Bay Area alone. And there are thousands more that could have residual contamination. In Hawaii, they’ve seen petroleum in groundwater produce explosive levels of methane…

In 1930s, Soviet Russia brought Holodomor to Ukraine - to starve Ukrainians and stop the resistance. Now, a hundred years later , Russia is doing the same to Oleshky , starving people there, not letting food in and not letting people out . Please ask your politicians to urge access to Oleshky .

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖
A digital portrait of Lucille Désirée Ball (1911–1989), the legendary Emmy-winning actress, studio mogul, and "Godmother of Star Trek" whose decisive studio leadership famously saved the franchise from cancellation. This artwork is an AI-adjusted version of an original piece by artist Jamie Fay—which initially depicted her in Captain Janeway’s uniform—now modified to show her in an Original Series Starfleet uniform. Ball sits confidently in a prominent command chair on a starship bridge, legs elegantly crossed at the knee and hands resting on the armrests. She wears a form-fitting, gold command-division tunic featuring a classic black collar, rank braids on the cuffs, and the iconic Starfleet delta insignia pinned to her chest, paired with sharp black trousers and low-heeled black boots. Her signature red hair is styled into an elegant upward coiffure, framing a poised, contemplative expression as she gazes slightly away from the viewer. The background features a sweeping, cinematic view of a colorful interstellar nebula glowing with purple, green, and blue cosmic stardust. The overall composition blends mid-century Hollywood glamour with classic sci-fi iconography, evoking an empowering, authoritative mood that celebrates her immense historical impact on television history.

The AI problem is also, at the end of the day, about our democracy. The real problem is oligarchy. If we had a political system which represented what most people wanted, we could deal with AI in a way that ensured public benefits and safety. The problem is a few oligarchs decide our fate.

My takeaway is that no AI doomsday scenario is half as plausible or scary as the actual doomsday scenario of climate change, which we're all currently living through. We should prioritize accordingly.

It’s my gut sense that industry rhetoric shifts emphasis depending on their economic cycle: AI will kill your job when they want clients, AI will kill you when they want governments to lock out competition. We’re in front of the IPO, so it will kill us and *then* take our jobs
