RE: mastodon.social/@nixCraft/1170…
Ha Ha!! This is a very good point! I am neither pro nor con on the subject of AI. I see it as the birth of a very new technology that has a lot of potential, but also has a lot of problems to be solved. I hope in ten years' time or even twenty years' time, I can look back and see progress on the environmental front, as well as the accuracy front.

📰 Curb‑cutting Resistance Helped Reshape Tucson’s Urban Ecology
🌧️ Tucson: A man illegally diverted rainwater into streetside basins in 1998. Years later, it transformed a desert neighborhood into a shaded, food‑producing micro‑ecosystem.
