I remember this speech when Jon Stewart gave it. It was powerful. And urgent. And 100% true. And like too many things over the last many years, it wasn’t taken nearly seriously enough.
🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022:
"When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."

This tired argument is just another repackaging of the oldest response to climate action. These people don't want to decarbonize, so they're pretending we don't already know how to do it.

Eric Schmidt says we’re not going to meet our climate targets, so we must put all our energy into improving AI and hope it solves the problem for us.
He’s part of a growing chorus of tech billionaires openly admitting they’ll sacrifice the climate on the altar of their AI ambitions.

If you're having a rough day, remember that in 1991 Tim Berners-Lee's paper for the World Wide Web was rejected and he was relegated to the poster session.
