You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Cars cost us literally hundreds of millions of dollars just in St. John's. About a hundred million per year. We just kick 80 million down the road per year.

I don't hate cars. I hate how they lose us money, space, lives and are damaging the environment.

We need viable alternatives to cars.

If nothing else, @barryglendenning.bsky.social Spurs’ collapse may help illustrate what the consequences are for sustained, soulless corporate mismanagement of a football clubβ€”some to I had thought United would do first.

Aaand that asbestos promoters systematically denied, delayed and deceived about the harms while continuing to make profits, while complicit governments consistently failed to enact regulations to protect people. Yes, a perfect analogy indeed.
