7th August, 2023. Tweets, videos, quotations but an addition this week is a podcast from Sam Harris – this may undermine your belief in living but it is about a reality hurtling fast into our lives through AI – WARNING By Sam Harris: AI Could Destroy Us, The Internet And Democracy – YouTube. Interesting for me who puts these tweets together, maybe the time is nigh to delete from Twitter X. Now is the appropriate time to start looking to UBI ie Universal Basic Income
