Claiming that AGI will emerge from them is like saying a horse will spontaneously form if you just roll enough marbles down the hill.

Please spare a thought — more than a thought, a thought spoken out loud, a smoldering rage, a capacity for action — for the many thousands of people like here who are still held by DHS in horrific conditions, and whose skin color makes them invisible to the mainstream press and public.

Striking before-and-after images show extent of California’s snow drought
As California experiences its second-worst snow drought in 50 years,
new images show a stark comparison with last year’s snow levels.
This year, the Sierra snowpack peaked on Feb. 25.
It was only 73% of average, then rapidly dwindled from there.
Then, summerlike heat in March broke monthly records in many areas of the Western United States.

While helping my mum with something recently, I've noticed that her #GMail started featuring a banner that she ran out of space, and mails will stop arriving in less than a month. As expected, she never even noticed it. On the other hand, I had two thoughts about it.
Firstly, of course, #Google are shameless assholes (Microsoft's even worse, as I boosted at some point before). Mom's new phone came with Google Photos preinstalled in place of vendor's gallery, and of course it automatically started making backups of her photos and movies in the "cloud", or as I'd like to call it, to pedophiles. The photos finally filled up the free space, and Google started doing everything to convince her to buy more space. I honestly doubt she'd be able to figure out that she needed to turn these backups off and wipe them; if anything, I suspect she'd just start hopelessly removing photos from the phone, which might not have helped at all.
Secondly, it's that if such a thing happened to me, I probably wouldn't even know, because I'm reading my mail via a mail client. So I wouldn't ever have seen their banner. Well, unless they also send a mail about it, and my mom missed it among all the spam.
