AI doesn’t need rogue "superintelligence" or evil intent to start a nuclear war. In @thebulletin.org, Paul Slovic & Herbert Lin show how today’s AI—combined with ordinary human fallibility—could trigger catastrophe. 🧵

This piece of the puzzle isn't talked about nearly enough. I am willing to bet it's not the kids who do their own homework who will be left behind in the future. The stans are screaming this because they need it to be true or they are proper fucked.
Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · 4d agoI also find it fucking hilarious that the AI stans are like "your kids will be left behind if they don't use it" as if it's harder to type a prompt into a text box to ask someone else to do your work than it is to read and understand a book or learn mathematics on your own.

In celebration of everybody’s second favorite culturally appropriated Celtic holiday, I made a creepy pop playlist. It is not kids music, nor does it contain any monster-mashing or Michael Jackson. It’s actual good music, but with a slightly creepy vibe. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

This article is pure art. Aside from being funny, it brilliantly illustrates my main assertion about the Odyssey, which is that the point of Nolan’s Odyssey was not to tell a good story, but to get people to TALK about the Odyssey. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/10/o...
