I dread the consequences of 500 ppm, but seems we are on the path to experience that. No one has a real clue, so they just keep adapting, and plodding along, business as usual. Oops the house just blew down. What? It was a CAT 6! Oh no, my house just burned down. Ok...moving to Canada...yikes they're on fire too, and the permafrost is giving off methane. For me the saddest part are all the other creatures doomed along with us. They couldn't vote against business as usual.

How reckless humans (collectively) are! You can't buy insurance against this!

Our new commons, social media, is an endless pit, on maybe a black hole, where understanding goes to die. I watched an exGoogle executive talking about the horrible potential AI could release in just a few months and that maybe we should put off having kids for a few years because we just don't know how bad we have screwed up yet.

Some say AI will have horrible consequences while others say it has great potential. Nothing will stop moving forward with AI. Worse case scenarios are nightmarish. But at least its debut has the potential to make people pause and think more carefully about having kids in a world of humanity that's increasing out of control.
