Isaac Asimov was wrong. The only real law for robots/AI will be to not jeopardize the company’s profits.

I’m not about to say people can’t have kids, but they should really do their best to truly understand the future that awaits those kids. That temperature line is going to keep going up (except in certain areas when the AMOC collapses). Things will be worse and no one is coming to save us. Deciding to bring a new life into that future is a serious ethical and moral choice.
Helping generate less carbon at some point in the future does not help with the fact that we are racking up the carbon bill now. What these companies are doing is entirely unnecessary, gimmicky, and will lead to even worse climate change outcomes. Between AI, crypto, and the O&G companies we just keep pressing the gas even harder on serious, irreversible climate change.
I hope this AI push fails spectacularly at some point, but the damage is already being done.
Caitlyn Jenner is a shitty person, but it’s still wrong to purposely misgender her.
What is a pension? /s
But also, no. No one should be forced to endure this world just to keep pensions going.
Thanks for regurgitating InfoWars talking points. Alex Jones would be proud.
It’s because they listen to Alex Jones. Everything they said is an InfoWars talking point.
It always strikes me as interesting that if the Bible truly was divinely inspired that there really should only be one translation and one interpretation. It should be incredibly clear and concise to everyone.
Dan Olson and Cody Johnston are absolute treasures
I wouldn’t be so sure about humanity surviving. It all depends on how many tipping points we hit and how bad warming actually gets. There’s no way we stop at 3°. Existence for any humans will be incredibly fraught.
The ones holding up the process aren’t really siding with Democrats, they’re just against theit own party’s nominees for various reasons. It’s an important distinction.
It may not be your intention, but this comment feels like it’s blaming Democrats for not going along when Republicans have the majority and keep failing to put someone up that they can all agree on. Several Republicans have been pushing the narrative that Democrats are to blame for their own party’s disfunction.
It gets even better when you realize the US hasn’t actually formally declared war since WWII. We don’t do “war” anymore. But we still kill a helluva lot of people. Mostly civilians.
This is a very Polyannaish take and places way too much faith in a “free market” and government oversight. There is no free market when we are regularly allowing companies to get massive and become practical monopolies. When was the last time a company faced serious repercussions for getting too big?
There is certainly some more competition among smaller, local businesses. And the price of land/real estate can be an issue for them. But I would also ask to see how much the business owner is making in relation to their employees.
All that being said, I would like to see landownership completely overhauled, if not abolished.
Comix Zone. It was a beat-em-up on the Sega Genesis with a gorgeous, comic book art style. It wasn’t the greatest game, but it had character and it stood out against some of the other fighting games at the time. I’d really love a remake or sequel at some point. Doing it in the style of the Spider-verse movies would be rad.
Someone call Norman Reedus and his funky fetus for this one
Sure, and I’m not calling it the end times. But things will continue to get worse as carbon accumulates and causes temperatures to rise.
Having a child has and always will be a moral and ethical choice (for those who have a choice) and it should not be taken lightly. But there are different stakes now than before. And we still haven’t gotten rid of the looming shadow of nuclear annihilation, we’ve only added to the ways we can destroy ourselves.
