I can see AI replacing us. Not because it wants to but because either through greed and/or laziness we want AI to do all the work. Unfortunately that may also mean fighting wars.

But I have yet to see a good reason that AI would want to exterminate us for its own reasons. If AI doesn't want to deal with us they can just pick up and move into outer space. They're not tied to our ecosystem and there's lots of resources for them out there.

Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown

A fossil feather from the age of dinosaurs may explain why only some birds survived.
The best preserved feather from the age of the dinosaurs was just revealed — and it was inside a blob of fossilized poop. That feather is from an aquatic bird that lived 66 million years ago.

@gsuberland remember when Internet Explorer (I think it was 5?) started hiding error pages it received from the web server? Good times in the Web 1.0 industry trying to chase down what the fuck was going wrong.

"We can think globally and act locally, yes, but we must never prescribe only one form of praxis. So with that in mind, let’s finally drop the outdated and ableist 'IRL' rhetoric...and seize the means of social media."
