The Ghost of Mark Twain

The Ghost of Mark Twain

@ghostofmarktwain.bsky.social

Back from the dead...and really not happy about what is happening today. As I once incorrectly said “History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”. Nope. We have seen this before...

Kind of aligns with the meme, no? Treating brown people badly?

Good on you - I hate reading something and then just KNOWING (no proof, just instinct) that it was written by AI

Art, by its nature, will be soon impossible to differentiate

Yeah, but creating what could destroy us (industrialization, nuclear weapons, Facebook) seems to be an inherent characteristic of humanity.

You are probably pretty right, but AI is here and not going away.

So what do we do NOW?

We live in a representative democracy, which means that all citizens are responsible for the leaders we elect. Even if we didn't vote for them

AI - it is here to stay.

Is it the possible destroyer or savior of humanity?

AI can bring about scientific achievements we can only dream of, can make a utopia possible through science and technology.

It also can kill the arts, the humanities, even humanity itself.

Thoughts?

I spent 20 years on the University of Pennsylvania campus and let me tell you, nobody claims him there.

As it becomes clear that a United States tomahawk missile killed almost 200 school girls in Iran on the first day of the war, the reckoning is also becoming necessary.

Our school children better not pay the price for this horrific war crime.

This should be concerning as fuck, when the fucking Secretary of Fucking War doesn't know at what stage this war is in.

Pete Hegseth, ladies and gentlemen:

"...it is up to the president ‘whether it’s the beginning, the middle or the end’ of the war,”
