I gave a talk yesterday at a clean tech in incubator, and this was literally my thesis.
fluids_guru@fluidsguru.bsky.social · last wk.I don’t understand the hand-wringing reaction to claims that nueral networks have a 10% chance of destroying civilisation. Fossil fuel companies have a 100% chance of initiating a mass extinction event. Maybe we could address that?

My take on what's at stake this Sunday in Germany for the @thenewworldmag.bsky.social 👇
Never again? Think again. The far right’s resurgence in Germany should terrify all Europeans
The AfD is on the path to power. It doesn’t just want to take Germany in a different political direction – it wants to build a new country

"RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised"
