@troed 👍 Good point. Borders are definitely a challenge in thinking about how all this will play out.
@troed
I'll readily admit I'm drawn to the dystopian… and when I said inhabitable in this context I tend to mean more of a situation where everyday life is affected in ways that force us to significantly change how we live our lives, obtain food and manage energy sources – making debates about the advancement of generative AI inconsequential, especially given how it adds to the decay.
Here is one essay that advanced my concerns:

While I don't buy into the complete underlying narrative, I take to heart a great deal of its systems thinking, with a critical focus on the fragility of how we obtain our food. 😬
@Aubrie Done. Thank you for the feedback. 🙏
@kmdk Thank you Karen 🙏
@salixsericea
Love that analogy / thought experiment! Thank you! 😅
@jamesravey
@kcarruthers Very much so. I think perhaps he has been problematic the whole time, but some of it was 'forgiven' in the beginning, due to worship of some design ideas at the time.
@aral Thanks. Means a lot. 🙏
@tante Thank you tante! 🙏
@aral Thank you Aral! Sorry I was just too late seeing this. Got a few proofreaders and I just published and sent it... 😊

@fasterandworse Haha, I'll wait at least an hour as I always do when I've been especially angry while writing.
@mrundkvist Excellent point.
@Mer__edith @camillefrancois
This conversation is just amazing. So clear, obvious, and with quotable nuggets every two minutes. The clarity with which you express yourselves is inspirational and encouraging.
”Dig where you stand”. Thank you.
@cybeardjm This all makes me so sad. Somebody sent me that job tip and for a moment I was excited about the idea of working on something human rights-related and then looking closer it's just very off-putting.
@cybeardjm
Right!
The reason I'm asking is because they have recently announced a consultancy position and one of the assignments is to:
"Provide focused design support to the ongoing pilot in Burundi for the development of solution to improve blockchain-based financial inclusion tool. "
This could of course be unrelated to the other crypto project.

@m Haha, love it! 😁
@carl_klitscher I mean, this must be one of those down periods where it's recommended to invest heavily. 🤪
@enron Thank you! This has been my reasoning as well, but it’s nice to hear the same thinking from others. 🙏
@cristinah düster, aber ähnliche Gedanken sind mir durch den Kopf gegangen
