Worthy of a watch. An argument to slow down or pause the development of AGI, which can go rouge, & use AI for narrow projects, where AI is more controllable. We need an AI Arms Treaty NOW! AI cannot be used around nuclear weapons etc. www.democracynow.org/2026/10/8/th...

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Remember when gas companies came up with term “carbon footprint” to shift blame from gas & oil Co’s to individuals back in 2004. And tobacco co’s testified that tobacco wasn’t addictive. Don’t trust what corporations say.

Instead of blaming AI, we need to blame those that set conditions for AI! All talk about super intelligence, esp. at this point, when AI is error-prone is AI companies way of regulation capture & sure enough they just signed an agreement to self-regulate. HA! They got exactly what they wanted.

Cost of extending ACA subsidies: $30 billion/year Cost of Trump's Iran War: $43 billion in roughly seven months (and that's a low estimate) It's not a question of what we can afford. It's a question of priorities.

More than 80% of U.S. doctors are now employed by corporate entities, including insurers and private-equity-backed organizations, compared with 62% in 2019. That leaves patients to wonder if decisions inside a practice are being made by corporate owners instead of doctors.
