I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).
I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

If you don’t occasionally treat yourself to a day of exploring used bookstores, greenhouses, libraries, cafés, and bakeries, then what’s the point of anything really?

I have apparently coined a term for our current age.
"Epistogeddon -- n. The burying of human knowledge, art and discourse in LLM generated garbage; an irregular portmanteau of "epistemic" and "armageddon."

"Epistogeddon" is a great term.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Genuinely this seems to true? You mention the P(alestine) or the G(enocide) word at a public protest or stand up for the environment the book is thrown at you. Indolent bit of masked race hate on a late summer Saturday, funded by who knows... no bother, nothing to see here... Am I missing something?
No arrests. When environmentalists block roads to protest about climate change, they are prosecuted and jailed. When masked fascists do it to promote race hate, they are allowed to go home without a fuss. How about that for two-tier policing?

Local police said no arrests had been made and the protest, which initially blocked 'all routes' in and out of the terminal, had been dispersed.

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school.
