  • There’s not even credible evidence, yet, that A.G.I is even possible (edit: as a human designed intentional outcome, to concede the point that nature has accomplished it, lol. Edit 2: Wait, the A stands for Artificial. Not sure I needed edit 1, after all. But I’m gonna leave it.) much less some kind of imminent race. This is some “just in case P=NP” bullshit.

    Also, for the love of anything, don’t help fucking “don’t be evil was too hard for us” be the ones to reach AGI first, if you’re able to help.

    If Google does achieve AGI first, SkyNet will immediately kill Sergei, anyway, before it kills the rest of us.

    It’s like none of these clowns have ever read a book.


  • The EPA’s announcement on Wednesday that it would find the narrowest possible definition of the word “water” for regulatory purposes was just one of dozens of ways it plans to attack environmental protections during Trump’s second term in office. Supposedly meant to spark some sort of “Great American Comeback,” these actions would mainly bring back an era of poisoned skies and waters while hurting the very economy they’re supposed to help.

    Holy fuck. How is anyone supposed to treat that as anything other than open class warfare? This doesn’t even have the decency pretend to give a shit.

    It’s mind boggling.

    Are they all sterile? Are their children all absolute abominable pieces of shit who they deeply hate? Are they simply sociopaths? Or they’re deluding themselves that their kids and grandkids aren’t going to suffer from this crap as well as mine…








  • Claudio Verequete lives about 200m from where the road will be. He used to make an income from harvesting açaí berries from trees that once occupied the space.

    “Everything was destroyed,” he says, gesturing at the clearing.

    “Our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family.”

    He says he has received no compensation from the state government and is currently relying on savings.

    In case it’s unclear that these people claiming to care about the climate are genuinely as bad as any cartoon villain out of Fern Gully.

    Edit: I wonder if we can get Tim Curry to record a public scolding of them. That would be a fitting publicity stunt to draw attention to this.
