Will it be AI or the climate crisis that ends humanity? We can make it neither. Both of these threats have the same roots: private entities seeking to cash in. We have the power to stand against them. (www.theguardian.com)

AI or the climate crisis? They're basically related at this point. But the real answer is "both". The time to stand up to both was a while ago. Really at least 50+yrs ago for climate change.

    The first Earth Day was 56 years ago. "The Limits to Growth" was published in 1972 (and didn't even include climate change, so yay). We started to stand up, but I think got pushed back down quickly.
