Not everybody knows this, and everybody should. On Sept. 26, 1983, a Soviet nuclear warning system alerted Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov that the U.S. had launched a missile attack. He did not retaliate, preventing WWIII. This is a post about AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisl...

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.

part of the reason why elites can’t stop talking and writing and reading about fantasies of AI apocalypse is because of simple projection and frankly it’s unfair to the AI for them to burden it with so many of their repressed desires

Pinyon Jays can carry 50+ pine nuts at a time in their crop & fly long distances to cache them across the landscape. As scatter-hoarders, #PinyonJays may hide millions of seeds over their lives. While they recover many, some are forgotten, giving new pinyon pines the chance to grow. #birds #forest

The Cisternerne in Copenhagen — the city's old water reservoir — is now an contemporary art space. It's a cold and misty cavern, 100% humidity, with a post-apocalyptic vibe. When I visited last week, they're were exhibiting a series of short operatic films, "Marina Abramović: Seven Deaths".
