It doesn’t terrify me so long as it’s stupid billionaires that take the trip just like Oceangate.
Oceangate happened because silicon valley jags have convinced themselves they're immune to consequences, and it turns out the bottom of the ocean is immune to lobby groups and does not take bribes.
This is why the idea of a Mars colony should terrify you.

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Politicians who have gifted themselves platinum-plated health care plans for life will now lecture others on how to best afford unaffordable health care.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

Please note that oil and gas are allowed to claim the 45Q tax credit without any verification that they actually captured the CO2 they said they did — and certainly without having to sequester the carbon 🤡
UPDATE: 3 things I learned today
1) Political leaders haven’t thought much about the health threats of CO2 capture and storage. Eg CO2 pipelines have kill zones. Leaks can acidify aquifers and mobilize heavy metals.
2) 45Q tax credits for CCS are now by far the biggest subsidy to oil and gas

Here at the US Capitol to talk with some senators about the risks and harms of carbon capture and storage, which is mostly used to extract more oil from ground, enjoys taxpayer subsidies, is prone to escape, threatens drinking water and public health, and is generally scammy.

The Carney government clearly has a major problem with the whole concept of accountability. Instead of strengthening 🇨🇦s laws, they keep legislating themselves new ways to circumvent them.
Rather than changing things like the Endangered Species Act, they just choose where it will & won't apply. 🧵1/
