Florida aesthetic

Going for a morning walk before the heat of the day.

It's 80 at 7:30 am with 95% humidity. "It's a nice day" you say to yourself as sweat drips down your face.

You see a storm cloud in the distance.

You pray it comes your way. Maybe then it would be 85% humidity.

You continue sweating.

A gator crosses the road ahead of you.

WHAT PEOPLE THINK ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ARE: wow.... we're creating... new life........

WHAT ETHICAL ISSUES IN AI ACTUALLY ARE: techbros worshiping the almighty algorithm, not caring to look at what bad patterns the machines are picking up (racism, sexism, etc) and how to avert them, and overreliance on neural networks meaning that said algorithms are treated as magical black boxes where nobody wants to (or can, really) point out exactly how the equation works (and why it may be faulty)

"Thank you. I still like you?"
"Yes."
"Enough?"
"Yes."

I close the book with a sigh. It seemed promising, but disappointingly had paradoxes in its time travel premise. I pick up my unwinder, to get the time I wasted on the book back.
*click*
I pick up a book. This one seems promising.

"I put my hammer down," Thor said, "knowing only someone worthy could lift it,"
"Did someone steal it?"
"Would a worthy person steal?"
"So where is it?"
Thor stared into the distance. "A dog took it."
"Won't it return to you?"
"Not while it's held by someone worthy."
