kinda the plot of children of time by adrian tchaikovsky

a faction of humans creates a garden planet and then tries to infect monkeys with a virus to make them sapient, with the endgoal being a monkey slave workforce that sees humans as god

obviously it failed at the first hurdle and spiders accidentally get uplifted instead

I started resding Ten Myths about Israel by Ilan Pappé, it's pretty interesting so far

I just watched Jimmy McGee's video about Artificial Intelligence and it's so depressing...

Even though he tried to be optimistic at the end and mention all of the labour organising happening recently, I can't help but feel like a doomer. Its a great video though, best video I've watched that explains AI and its impact on us

(i had to edit this like 5 times why do i keep making spelling mistakes 💀)

history is so goofy sometimes, like that time when the cardinals elected the pope but he was a bit of an arsehole, so they elected another one who moved to avignon, but the first guy didn't resign, then they got tired of both of them and tried to elect a new guy, but the first two popes were still there, so now there were 3 popes all excommunicating each other
