A piece on how widespread AI use is driving unthinking wasteful consumption.
Crucially tho, the latter half focuses on how we still have the power to resist, to embrace the human passions of creation.
And how we can make submitting to the machine, deeply uncool.

There are continued airstrikes & tanks advancing closer & closer to our healthcare facilities.
This is an intolerable level of risk for our @msf.ca staff.

Spent another therapeutic hour with the bees this morning. Getting a glimpse of the inner workings of the hive, spotting the Queen and watching new bees hatch is salve for the soul. Spent a good 5 minutes watching a gal groom her little face. The drought in the UK has hit our bees hard though.😭🥰🐝

Are there any folks in science journalism space in NY, or the US in general who would be interested in doing a story on the Paleontological Research Institution? They are one of the 10 largest fossil museums in the US and desperately need ~1-2million dollars by December to pay off their mortgage 🧪
