I asked Gemini to write a formula where humans are dependent on the health of the earth. Here it is:
h = human well being (health, quality of life, etc.)
e = state of the earth (climate, biodiversity, resources, etc.)
H = f(E)
h = human well being (health, quality of life, etc.)
e = state of the earth (climate, biodiversity, resources, etc.)
H = f(E)

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."
I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.
We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

It makes sense that Elon would make the wild claim that AI will write better stories and films than people. Like Trump, he hates art.

They want to blame it on LGBTQ+ people. They want to blame it on some destitute and desperate person at the border. They do that because they want working-class people to be divided and to focus and keep the focus off the one true enemy: corporate greed.

Trump is pushing divide-and-conquer tactics of the rich. It’s the oldest trick in the book. They want to blame the frustrations of the working-class people — they want to take those frustrations, they want to blame it on race. (cont. next post)
