I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

- Don't scare people TOO much
- Focus on solutions
- Characters have agency
- Include local issues people can tackle personally
- Hopeful ending IS A MUST

Grootste fractie, minste inzet: PVV laat Kamerwerk liggen | Investico Onderzoeksjournalisten
De Tweede Kamer moet zichzelf draaiende houden. Als niemand zijn vinger opsteekt als extra taken worden verdeeld, gebeurt er maar weinig. Nu de PVV de grootste fractie vormt, kraakt het instituut.
