How #DavidAttenborough's #film will get #bottomtrawling #banned
🧐"bottom #trawlers hv been working at #sea for more than a century, but nobody had ever seen tis scene before. No diver wld survive where te #cameras were.. It is a nightmare vision of #massdeath & #destruction..
The worst of it is tt while the #official #UN goal is to have 30% of the world’s #oceans in ‘maritime protected areas’ by 2030, most of those #MPAs still allow #bottom #trawling."

This is the most explosively dangerous BS on #AI to date.

A very well known #wallstreet pro taken in by slideware presented by the likes of #OpenAI, #Anthropic, #Musk, et al and swallows their claims hook, line, and sinker — and then goes on CNBC to proclaim #MassDeath of humanity from #AI is basically upon us.

This. Is. Madness.

This is the most irresponsible thing I’ve ever seen In my life. Literally.

The Oligarchy has made a joke of the legal system when protesting #MassDeath from #ClimateBreakdown is treated more harshly than crimes like intentionally lying about #ClimateCrisis or hiding evidence of toxic chemical harm.

They are killing people and locking up protestors does not mean they can lock up the truth.

We will continue to be on the streets demanding justice and demanding oil companies stop spiraling us toward death.

Solidarity!

Now close to 17 palestinians are dead for every Israeli casualty on Oct 7th.

I just have to remind about what that says about the value of human life vs their origin.
