Governance, the mess of AI tech-fix path – Hamish Campbell

Man With Sign, June 3, 02025

It's a beautiful morning this Tuesday, with a few fluffy clouds decorating an otherwise clear blue sky, temperatures ideal for being outside...finally a sense of spring. I reach Roosevelt Circle at...wait, WTF? I have left my phone at home, which means that not only do I not have a drone, I also don't know what time it is.

Monday morning is cool and clear, with temperatures in the mid-50s. I finish pre-vigil coffee and reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30. I set up my signs — as usual, Monday's signage is ALL BLACK until sanity returns. No Craige today, which means that I'm a soloist — and also that our plans to start a new song are deferred until tomorrow.

Friday morning finds me waking well before the alarm, taking care of pre-vigil routines in the company of my daughter, who's gotten up for an early errand. I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:28, greet Craige, and set up my speaker and signs. Today I'm holding up WE MUST BE BETTER ANCESTORS.

I wake with the alarm, yanked out of unsettling dreams with a certain level of relief, and head downstairs for a bleary pre-vigil coffee. The caffeine doesn't do that much to raise my energy level, but I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:29, set up my big sign, and hold up THINK IN EONS — ACT NOW! as my philosophical advice to the morning commute. No Craige today.

Wednesday morning is absolutely gorgeous — the kind of weather that makes people doubt the reality of climate change. Which puts me in the weird position of sorta kinda vaguely hoping for a rain of frogs or the equivalent. Anyway, I reach Roosevelt Circle at 7:30, set up my big sign, and hold up LET'S BUILD A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHER.

@Snoro let’s not make the take away that it is “exceptionally unlikely”.

Let’s make it that “a 2C year, which would be completely unprecedented […] was effectively impossible just a few years ago.”

Tuesday morning and I'm glad to be back on the road again after the long weekend. It's a beautiful day as I walk up to Roosevelt Circle at 7:31, a soloist. Craige is out with car issues. I set up my big sign and hold up EVERY DISASTER MOVIE STARTS WITH A SCIENTIST BEING IGNORED.

Just to remind you, the last 40 years of #mainstreaming has been a #deathcult when you look at our slow drift into #climatechaos. We can’t keep simply repeating this mess hamishcampbell.com/we-cant-keep...
