The additional cost of ONE fossil fuel price spike on the scale of 2022 = the ENTIRE COST of Net Zero by 2050. We get precisely nothing in return for the first cost, and a whole new, more secure and cheaper energy system from the second one.

I was thinking it was kind of mean to be picking on this rando despite how stupid his tweet is but...he's the head of a major company
lmao let’s goooo
(smug look) Ah, *now* who's sorry they didn't invest in my zeppelins idea? Huh? Huh?
Could have had a fleet of war zeppelins ready to carry the oil, but oooohhhh nooooooo they're (makes air quotes gesture) "explosive" and "easy to shoot down" and "a boondoggle" and "go away nerd".
Not diving into geopolitics but the way men on the internet think they can solve a high stakes, complicated pickle that involves both logistics and war with the brainstorm they typed into their phones while sitting on the toilet…
The Delphic Oracle spoke: “If you launch this war, you will destroy a great empire and enemy of world peace, and your name will be remembered for millennia.”
Hilariously I have three autistic children here all clamouring to explain to you with extensive examples and Special Interest levels of detail, please imagine me holding them back shouting "Run save yourself!"

Those eyes!
Are these the famous Florsheim shoes that the Donald has started guessing their sizes and handing out to them? what the hell?
The shoe thing is low on the "important global matters" scale, but HIGH on the "I'll take things a deranged Roman emperor would do for $500, Alex" chart.
Fair play, 'the mad emperor started compulsively buying shoes for his court, guessing their foot size & his courtiers were too scared not to wear them even when they didn't fit' is some classic, on the nose End Days Of The Empire stuff
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
We wrote a book!!!! I'm feeling very normal today!!!!!!!!
This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.
Hmm, they did write "Claude/agentic AI is something new, as are the augmented humans powering development." Which is the claim I am addressing. Anyway that's enough for me I'm out, bye!
Uta Frith's claims that autistic masking doesn't exist because of a lack of research ignores a significant body of peer-reviewed research directly linking long-term masking to burnout, depression, and suicidality. It silences the voices of autistic people who have been sharing their experiences. 1/
It’s a bit like how we didn’t ‘overfind’ more stars when telescopes were invented. Why has going after neurodivergent people become a national sport? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...
Every person in this chain of command should be *under* The Hague.

Not really? Claims that computers make us a new thing are old hat in scifi (cyborgs) and well discussed in AI discourse ('centaurs' as a term is from the 1950s) and a more interesting take is how they do or don't empower us e.g. reverse centaurs

You probably want to do some more reading about the fundamental concepts involved before you start inventing, no offence.
