A horse walks into a bar, the bartender asks "Why the long face?" The horse replies, "I have New World Screwworm and I'm in an immense amount of discomfort." *Bartender gets shot in an unrelated incident

Cheryl has made a fine point. I, nor other safety professionals, have really said much about general safety precepts as they relate to AI, as opposed to the bullshit artist millenarian cultists that are happy to do so at length. One of the reasons is "These tools are an active detriment to safety."

What the actual fuck? Look, I'm sorry to keep saying this, but the president is clearly a dementia-ravaged necrotic husk of a man whose addled rants bear no actual resemblance to reality and I, for one, think that is concerning.

The President, in times of peace, is requiring states to send soldiers to police the capital. That is a measure of an authoritarian state.

I always wondered what would have happened if Nixon fought back, dug in and refused to leave, then his party rallied around him? It seems the Trump admin. is curious too.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

But, what's the point? Is 'life' the point? Is life for the sake of life a goal? Is biodiverse life the goal? Is a sustainable human population the goal? Objectively, this universe is either ordered and this is all happening for an unknown reason, or nothing fucking matters but loving each other.
