I have decided that I refuse to feel ashamed for feeling deep, sometimes debilitating grief for what is happening and that this grief has made me less productive. It seemed silly at first, but this is real and human and natural. If this is you too, feel free to join me.

Can we please leave AI out of everything that can be monetized? Just leave it for helping with vaccines and finding alien signals and what not.
The rise of AI tech is a crisis and it’s time everyone publicly came out against this shit. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...
The time has come to declare war on AI

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.
The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.
