Good, Bad and FAFO...

Humans, and our ancestors, were (still are) curious explorers. Everywhere we’ve looked we observed possibilities and created ways to take advantage of those possibilities.  

The other thing, that happens simultaneously (whether anybody thought about it, or not) is, ”What could possibly go wrong?”

Surprises awaited even if we asked, thought and planned for all those possibilities.  Surprises were/are capably greater if there was not said anticipation.

Take, for instance, population and agriculture that happens in the southwestern USA…  Take a look at the maps that document the deserts of North America, then ask yourself, “What could possibly go wrong?”

The answer is already pretty overwhelming, then some overly enthusiastic, tech narcissists/megalomaniacs (N/M) try desperately hard to sell way too much data center capacity for AI (advanced, 1980s, automation) to run wild.

The N/M really don’t want to think, pretty much at all, because their pronouns are: me, myself and I!  ‘More, more, more...’ is what they are certain they need; everywhere, all the time. Everybody else be damned!
