When people suggest that companies can be trusted to self regulate and do what's right it's an incredibly naive notion. DuPont and 3M have poisoned us all due to their reckless profit motive. I often wonder if my own cancer was related to environmental pollutants like C8. youtu.be/SC2eSujzrUY?...

This is a new level of absurdity. We're living in Black Mirror. AI is a waste of resources, and it enables laziness. It doesn't even do simple tasks well. It baffled me that a medical doctor would rely on a hit or miss tool in place of their years of education and experience.

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

It's a shame that science questioning consumers create this conundrum with selling and marketing GMO crops. This is miraculous, but it's a bit convoluted to need to extract the protein as an ingredient for other products instead of the potato being the product.

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society). We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it. This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

As someone studying biology, it isn't easy to learn and cope with the far reaching impacts of humans on our environment. It feels as though each topic is laced with exciting interactions and organism and the reality that much of what makes our world interesting is threatened by humanity.
