Some good points and some weird points.
โI think the Silicon Valley and Big Tech companies and billionaires control the narrative over AI so much that it creates little space for that kind of debate thatโs necessary for a technology that grows so massively,โ George Zarkadakis, AI engineer, futurist, and writer, told TNW.
Greek myths and AI
What Greek myths can teach us about the dangers of AI
We might think that the conception of robots, AI, and automated machines is a modern phenomenon, but, in fact, the idea had already appeared in Western literature nearly 3,000 years ...Ioanna Lykiardopoulou (The Next Web)

2020 saw a record-breaking rise in methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The increase was driven by a combination of warm, wet weather in the Northern Hemisphere and the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Why Methane Surged in 2020
Warm, wet weather in the Northern Hemisphere combined with COVID-19 lockdowns pushed the potent greenhouse gas to record levels.go.nasa.gov
so it mentions several times 'due to lockdowns' but zero references as to *why*
Canada (where I live) never once 'locked down', we could always go out and shop at malls throughout the entire pandemic, I understand some American states may have introduced individualized 'lockdown' concepts
so with 'lockdown' poorly defined, and zero references as to what about 'lockdowns' caused an increase in methane...
...this is weird misinformation
A decrease of nitrogen oxides (NOx) pollution during the COVID-19 lockdowns indirectly slowed the removal of methane from the atmosphere.
NOx serves as an atmospheric โdetergentโ by reacting with methane and removing it from the atmosphere.

Moon Mountain Name Honors NASA Mathematician Melba Mouton
Scientists recently named a mesa-like lunar mountain that towers above the landscape carved by craters near the Moonโs South Pole.Rachel Hoover (NASA)
That is quite an honor. I like the symbolism of the south pole as the solar system orbital plane of the ecliptic is in same relationship to the plane of the galaxy rather. Like that which a Ferris Wheel has to the ground.
The heart of the Milky Way is to the south of earth as mapped in the night stars.
I am lucky to have had very dark skies whereby I could see the summer stars and the heart of the Galaxy between the sting of the Scorpion and the Archer or some name , the Teapot.โ

A History of Near-Earth Objects Research
Often seen as the solar system's rubble, asteroids and comets were largely ignored in the 20th century until recently. Increasingly, they have been seen by scientists as objects worthy of study, by the general public and the U.S.Michele Ostovar (NASA)
#10YearsAgo today, a 10,000 ton meteor exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia releasing energy roughly equivalent to 500-kilotons of TNT. Thousands of buildings were damaged and nearly 1,500 people were injured (though there were no fatalities).
