The irony is that our pursuit of convenience eventually creates a cascade of “unanticipated ruptures” that collectively erode our daily experience. “As a society, we have decided that we want more for less: more convenience, more purchases, more technology, but none of it at prices that render it out of reach. For years, we allowed immediate

It's like double bookkeeping: when you know something is prone to errors (or, in Al's case, hallucinations), it's best to give the same task to two or three different models. This significantly reduces the error rate.

What will its ‘pulling the wings off flies’ phase look like? Will it treat us as abysmally as we treat other animals?

Why I Am No Longer an AI Doomer
The consequences of climate change, such as more frequent and severe extreme weather, increase with every tenth of a degree of warming; beyond 1.5C, the planet risks crossing thresholds that could trigger abrupt changes and climatic feedback loops.

2024 hits 1.6 degrees above pre-industrial levels, and each of the last 10 years have all been warmer than the previous one.
