This is the fundamental paradox of AI: if it's actually helping you, there is no way to know when it is no longer helping you. Put another way: if you can supervise it effectively enough to catch its mistakes, you probably didn't need it in the first place.

Love American disaster relief, where after you lose everything there’s a cop there to make sure you know that trying to save your own life is looting.

Since 1980, there have been 395 weather disasters in the US, with total damages over $1 billion. These disasters have cost $2.77 trillion in total and killed 16,500 people. Don't tell me we "can't afford" to address the climate crisis. The truth is we can’t afford not to.

I find it striking how in the aftermath of Helene, libraries are providing crucial community services like free wifi while cops are guarding stores with rotting food from potential "looters" instead of serving and protecting people. Worth considering how we spend local funding.

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats: 1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

I have reports the library in Asheville is open and has wifi. Sam’s Club is handing out one case of water per car. Pisgah brewery is doing water from 2-5 today (9-29-2024) and has cell service #Helene
