I don't think I have ever read a more concise and yet thorough explanation of my own observations, conclusions, and fears as a 20+ year veteran technology professional and 15 year SRE veteran.

We are actively tearing down the hard fought wins for ourselves and our customers in the chase for the MBAs and business idiots and the institutional knowledge and processes that solved huge problems are the victims of this AI circlejerk.

JUST IN: Scientists built bacteria that EATS cancer from the inside out.

The future of cancer treatment isn't a drug. It's a living organism that devours tumors from the inside.

Here's how it works:

Solid tumors have a dead center. No oxygen. No blood flow. Just dead cells and nutrients sitting there.

Most cancer drugs can't survive in that environment. They get blocked. They break down. They never reach the core where the tumor is most protected.

Beirut was my home for almost 4 years when I was studying urban planning at the American University of Beirut, and I have a lot of loved ones in the city.

Following today's Israeli terror strikes, I spent the morning checking on people... Of course, everyone is shaken, but they feel compelled to reassure us that they're ok.

Everyone I checked with was grateful for my messages, to know that they are not forgotten.

A friend sent me a video of a building that was struck by an Israeli missile. It was less than 100m away from my apartment on the waterfront, and maybe 200m from the AUB campus. Two friends lived in the building adjacent to that building that now is mostly rubble. I couldn't get to them, but I heard through other friends that they're ok.

The rubble from the terror strike is piled on the street, burying cars under it, blocking the street that I walked every day to get to campus.

Israel is a terrorist state.

My therapist told me that its okay to anxious at this time. Im extremely bored at work listening to AIbros, extremely baffled by people who say that their business is affected by whats happening in Western Asia. My home country is on a brink on an economic collapse (not so fun fact, Philippines ranks 2nd in the whole world amongst countries heavily impacted by US-Israel aggression in Iran. We have about 45 days of fuel), hearing stories of empty plates on the table from my family and friends, and I still dont have any idea if my mother, who lives in Dubai, is dead or alive.

So yes, Jean should calm the fuck down, doesnt she

Is building an enormous military-industrial complex that asset strips the planet, but siphoning off a bit of it during carbon overshoot to propel four people on a long, perilous and inordinately expensive photographic side quest so we might momentarily reflect on our fragile blue planet, while we try to engineer an enema on some of the most energy-dense deep time stores of carbon really the best way to value our fragile blue planet?
