Climate Change - Entering a New Phase?

Bill McKibben, amongst others, has recently written about the next stage of climate change, one which we are rapidly entering. This isn't unexpected. It's going to take more, much more, work to even reduce, let alone stop, the steep and rapid progression of climate change. And we aren't at that level of 'work', and perhaps, unfortunately, never will be (says the pessimist in me).

AI - Not so Lovely

Bill McKibben recently wrote a piece about AI called 'Regular Old Intelligence is Sufficient: Even Lovely'. The piece is really good. He said a lot of things in it that I agree with, but haven't the ability to express very well.
