You know what's better than a pomodoro tomato timer to help you avoid distractions when you need to focus? A bean with a butt. Available on Android and iOS. It's great. Fact!

"Daz!", they ask, "Why downplay the threat of AI?".

Stop worrying. We have systems in place.

"Daz!" they ask, "Why downplay the threat of AI?"

Okay, I'll compromise a bit and at least say we need to keep this company air-gapped from the internet so AI can't jump into a seemingly capable robot body.

The largely billionaire-owned print and broadcast media landscape is so corrupt that the phrase:

"Selling news to the public vs selling the public to the rich"

Is so on point, it's like seeing the elephant in the room perfectly balanced on the head of a pin.

"Daz," they ask, "why do you downplay the threat of AI?"

Here's compelling evidence that if an AI entity inserted itself into a killer robot body, it’d trip over its untied shoelaces and die at the bottom of the stairs before it could do any real damage.
