Luc Dockendorf @lucdockendorf.eurosky.social · 13/10/2026It can partly be explained by normalcy bias and it’s one of the reasons why we’re in this pickle. The failure of imagination of purportedly serious people who simply can’t believe that fascists (or anyone ‘crazy’) really believe what they claim they do. Group think then reinforces this dynamic. 130 3

Luc Dockendorf @lucdockendorf.eurosky.social · 10/10/2026If they really wanted AI to "solve climate change", the simplest (and likely only) way to do so would be to feed all of the IPCC's reports to one of their models, have it summarise the recommendations (check for accuracy, of course) and implement them. Done. 050 5
