This Earth Day, I see yet another "Severe weather" alert on my phone. On LinkedIn, the algorithm keeps boosting the usual posts about productivity and growth, while green companies brag about using resource-hungry LLMs, and every text field on the web now seems eager to rewrite my thoughts using AI…
We play responsibility hot potato with Big Tech as we try to understand how AI is supposed to benefit humanity when being raised under poor parental guidance and a nutritionally deficient data diet.
We look for playfulness as AI golems track mud everywhere, white people get upset for the wrong reasons, and companies attempt to further abdicate responsibility by blaming it on the AI chatbot.
As the new moon rises, we ponder AI, AGI, and NGI by taking notes from Swifties, deal with cognitive dissonance, take a sneak peek at ETHOS, and glance up into the sky and future for inspiration.

As the new moon rises, we look for fogbows amidst the AI fog and climate doom by shining a mythopoetic light on perspectives often ignored, inspired by ancient wisdom and love for life on planet Earth.
As the new moon rises, we plant pledges, come together for collective futurecrafting, and imagine rainbows mirrors for existential hope.

But if we allow Big Tech to get away with making outrageous claims about how their technology is saving humanity and release software that hallucinates, I hope you can forgive me for using the same tactic to bring up an important ...
I’m probably not alone in having a bit of an existential crisis as I see generative AI convincingly imitate human skills.
