The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out.

Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it.

@WrathZA @webafrica Horrible company, my internet was down last week, WhatsApp is a joke and there's no one in the call centre. I've worked out a trick though, hold on for sales (only a 10-15 min wait) and ask them to get support to call you. No guarantees, but might work.

Our view: it is appropriate to be very concerned, and significantly change your lifestyle, right now.

@riggaroo Haha I have to constantly explain it's not me falling asleep, it's my bulldog next to me snoring.

Sometimes I wonder how much of my advantage over other people is just insisting on a good 8 hours of sleep a day. There are still 112 hour left in the week!

If you're around 30, throughout your lifetime you will witness humanity either choosing course-correction and self-preservation in the face of climate change, or getting stuck on the path to self-destruction.

In fact, you're not a passive observer. You will have a role to play.
