two fish -- not species, two actual fish -- were found in the Cuyahoga back then. today, we have 70+ SPECIES in our river.
Studies conducted in the 1960s began to reveal the horrific state of water pollution. High levels of bacteria were found in the Hudson River, and pollution killed 26 million fish in one Florida lake. In 1969, the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland caught fire due to an oil slick. /2

I got into tech because it’s fun to take things apart, see how they work, and put them back together — or rearrange the parts into something brand new. it definitely feels like the new ethos is “bro why bother to learn? caring about that stuff is cringe, just go FAST bro” and that bums me out
the main thing that makes me uneasy about llms is the cultural backdrop of global war on knowledge. the war on knowledge isn’t new but now it’s cheered on from tech too. tools for thought pivoted to slot machines because that’s what people want. “how things work” is buried under opaque indirections
