Just followed Mantón Reece. Also, started blogging again. Too lazy at the moment to link anything.

Jack Rusher“The [automatic machine/artificial intelligence] is not frightening because of any danger that it may achieve autonomous control over humanity... Its real danger is the quite different one that such machines, though helpless by themselves, may be used by a human being or a block of human beings to increase their control over the rest of the human race.”

Dr. Zalka Csenge VirágSo I caught the recruiting tram again and made more photos for all you dorks 😄
(This is a tram that runs in Budapest that has clear paneling so you can see the inner workings. They use it to recruit engineers and mechanics for public transport.)
Gerry McGovernAt 1.4 trillion, more photos were taken in 2019 than in the entire 20th Century
In 2023, it’s estimated we’ll take 1.8 trillion photos
90% of all photos ever taken were taken since 2000
Since 2000, we’ve taken about 2,000 photos for every child, woman and man on planet
We’re storing about 10 trillion photos in the Cloud
Most of them will never be looked at again.
To deal with CO2 caused by photos between 2000 and 2020, you’d need to plant about 675 million trees

CHAOS MITIGATION: Stay organized, fight digital & physical entropy (replaces home-ec 101)
THE BOX YOU LIVE IN: Wire outlets, unclog drains, fixit stuff (replaces woodshop)
SPREADSHEETS: Before code learn this (replaces any intro class teaching Java)
