AI is biased against animals, and it could have a huge impact on the wellbeing of all animals. Nautilus has just published an article about this that I wrote with Tse Yip Fai, who first made me aware of the problem. nautil.us/ais-innate-b...

“You notice an ant struggling in a puddle of water. Their legs thrash as they fight to stay afloat. You could walk past, or you could take a moment to tip a leaf into the puddle, giving them a chance to climb out. Should you take a moment out of your day to help one out?” aeon.co/essays/an-an...
An ant is drowning: here’s how to decide if you should save it | Aeon Essays
Should we simply assume that all animals can feel pain and are of moral concern? Or is that taking things too far?

Complaining and documenting and analyzing the (dozens) of zoo sticker designs will elicit a blank stare from me while I sip my earl grey. There's no code to crack. You have not discovered anything we did not intend to show the world. What you see is all there is. And they are for us, not you. 🦄

Trans rights are not the rights of a minority. They are everyone’s rights to autonomy, to self-determination of our health and identities.
Attacks on trans rights are not attacks on a minority. They are steps to stripping everyone’s ability to live their own lives with independence and dignity.

One of the most powerful moments comes when Rutger names factory farming as today’s clearest moral failure and points out how hard it is to find anyone who will defend it publicly.

Now that we live online, it's inevitable that some form of strong age verification is coming to address real safety problems. But doing it in an inclusive way that doesn't exacerbate class divides, lock users into brands, protects free expression, and prevents censorship is very, very hard.
Thanks for your patience as always! The moon is still full, so it's time for #ZooTT! This time, we're tackling the topic of KOSA, since a listener had some questions about it! Check it out here!

This episode is deeply important to me and I wish I had been able to contribute to it more, but time and personal circumstances kept me away. I'm happy with the result though, and I'll add more thoughts to this later 🦄
