Do you believe the AI-driven hype of "if we just get enough data on people we can cure all ills and live forever!" or do you think it's just cope to spy on people and micro-manage their lives?

The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.

Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.

The ozone could have a huge hole.

We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.

I feel like we forget this, you know?

@gabriel It just doesn't.

I'm with you, but it's ranting bullshit at this point.

How New Science Fiction Could Help Us Improve AI - Scientific American

Fascinating article about organizations trying foster positive sci-fi stories about AI. Good reason why AI sci-fi is mainly negative—more plausible given humankind’s record AND more interesting. My upcoming book The HONOR System is case in point.

So legitimate hazards discussed in golden age scifi are just to be ignored, because feelgood garbage can be made?

This is repugnant on every level.

It used to be that a good browser was one that worked with every website, more and more it seems like the more webites a browser breaks (for privacy) the better it is.

@gabriel In no small part due to Microsoft giving standards the double middle finger.

Do you have any experience or recommendations on using the note taking method?

@matthew Never heard of it. But looks like Obsidian would be ideal.

I found Obsidian unusable garbage, but clearly some like it.

My position is that humans are complex systems.

Your comment ignores:
>What you eat matters
>The state of one's digestive system matters
>One's overall nutritional gaps matter
>Activity level matters
