It’s obviously powerful and powerfully destructive technology with huge unintended consequences and we’re seeing them play out. The models are OBVIOUSLY getting much better. At a minimum you’re building something that will be the most potent cyber security threat that has ever existed.

Getting a lot of responses from people guessing what’s in the article. No need to guess! No paywall. It’s short. Plus knowing what you’re talking about before responding is sexy. Refusing to read makes you feeble like Trump.

Repealing the Roadless Rule is a generational mistake that will change the wild character of our national forests forever. Despite every attempt by the Trump administration, Americans have been clear: our public lands are not for sale, and our national forests should remain wild.

Breaking News: Trump officials are moving to open nearly 45 million acres of wilderness in national forests to new roads and logging, removing protections that had been in place since 2001.

I’ve had similar experiences through sustainable building, as the construction industry in particular needs to be hacked. People want this, but we need politicians who will stop ignoring this window of opportunity. Change has long been possible. We are in the majority; the other side is just louder.
