Thank you for 3 must read recommendations. ok, I'm still on the first one but already compelled to comment 😂. It's such a clear-eyed realist view of the optimism and perils of AI. I love his prescription that what we need is a positive vision that we should try to manifest. In fact, I think that's one of the failings of the original Inconvenient Truth too - it was a little too much gloom instead of pivoting to a "let's take this opportunity to create a solarpunk future"
That is why I really treasure this particular gift of all you gave me, Ishita - you were willing to share a part of yourself. You were willing to give this book to me. I treasure it as much as the time you spent with me ... what a great evening of sharing!

Check out essay 3 in that case, Chao! for different reasons. But also, read Saving US by Katharine Hayhoe
Read them! I think I met Misha at Edge Esmeralda last year - we were talking about AI doom!
Thank you for adding to my reading list!
Sorry. Not sorry! I think you will like them even if they absorb you for a while.
Yay! I’m so glad you liked it. 🥳
And I completely forgot about the notes lolll.

When you put it like that. 🥹
I have such fond memories of that evening too - great food, conversations and company! 🥰
That was a great essay from Rutger Bregman!
I keep coming back to it! So many layers.
