Pulled over to the side of the road just to look at this beautiful view. Almost forgot to take the picture as I felt compelled to just stare into the sky. Life is so wow, yet humans are so determined to add such ugliness.

Let’s be blunt. China and Russia are already racing to dominate AI while we still debate if it’s even worth it. Hesitation is no option, we need to lead smart, and strong. My latest (in reply)

Let's uphold both democracy AND human decency.
Human decency means that we actively and peacefully oppose cruelty. Dehumanization based on race, ethnicity, gender, economic class, orientation, religion, citizenship status, or national origin is unacceptable.

And they’ve already rolled back the plan, if it was ever actually one to begin with. Stop worrying about headlines based on leaks that wouldn’t really change anything even if they turned out to be true. There are actually problematic things, impacting claim processing, happening right now.
