As AI progress continues, it will be more difficult to stop AI intrusions and to detect them without resorting to direct AI countermeasures, which at some point will have humans out of the loop altogether. If leading and well-capitalized fr

AI content is everywhere period, conditioning people and other AI in the propagation of more AI content. I started to see articles about mycorrhizal fungi pop up on sites and LLMs. In January of 2026 an evolutionary biologist won a prize re

Not thoroughly understanding consciousness doesn't mean we can't create it. All sorts of phenomena are created without an understanding of the underlying mechanism. The entire animal kingdom, including us humans, have been creatin

The cold war was very bad, but in my opinion the risk is still high and growing. The Petrov incident was just one of many close calls that have been publicly disclosed during the short time nuclear weapons have existed. - Vasily Arkhipov wa

Threads is a very good movie. Potential viewers should know that it's old and the special effects have not held up well, but it very much captures the terror of nuclear conflict quite well.

We haven't had a global pandemic in over 100 years and yet here we are. Countries have nuclear weapons and the global community has to get it right every single day to avoid nuclear war. I'm hoping it doesn't happen, but the

I completely agree that it is amazing we have not blown ourselves up yet. Unfortunately, the risk of a nuclear exchange is only rising... stress of climate change + 7 billion people + human nature == war (very possibly nuclear) Nuclear weap

This. You have to take a look at percentage market moves. The markets have been moving up for a long time. A 1000 point drop when the market is at 26,000 is not the same as a 1000 point drop when the market is at 16,000.
