In positive news, was just reading about an island in Chile that installed open water solar panels and a bunch of tuna and salmon moved in underneath them because the vibrations of diesel energy had ceased. :) The world could be so good if people were just smarter everywhere.

![104. From this follows a simple but compelling
consequence: we cannot consider Al to be
morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool
embodies choices and priorities through what
it measures, ignores and optimizes, and how it
classifies people and situations. If a system is
designed or used in a way that treats some
lives as less worthy, or excludes them without
the possibility of appeal, then it is not merely a
tool "to be used well," since it has already
introduced criteria that contradict the
inalienable dignity of the human person. For
this reason, ethical discernment cannot be
limited to asking whether we are using a
system for good or bad purposes; it must also
examine how that system is designed and
what vision of the human person and society is
embedded in the data and models that guide it.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.
Dipshits like this are so dangerous. Glad the students responded to bullshit as bullshit.

"It seems to me, that if we love, we grieve. That’s the deal. That’s the pact. Grief and love are forever intertwined. Grief is the terrible reminder of the depths of our love and, like love, grief is non-negotiable. There is a vastness to grief that overwhelms our minuscule selves." - Nick Cave
