billions
Fate of humans, other creatures and Earth lie with behavior of billions of humans.
Selfish billions produce very bad future.
Unselfish billions produce thriving future for all.
Unselfish or selfish billions? That is the existential question.

Spawning Beds!
A bit of good news from the Thrive! Park fish and frog pond. The pond appears to be getting much healthier with the new aerator.
Today, more than a dozen fish spawning beds have been created and are active. So the drama begins. See photo.

To artificial intelligence (ai), add the positive human value "be unselfish".
Artificial intelligence (ai) has great potential for good and for bad.
How it is designed and executed will determine the good and the bad it produces.
One proposed solution is to add human value(s) to ai. But that is not a real solution since human values also range from very good to very bad.
There may be a solution. Add one and only one human value to ai. Add the positive human value “be unselfish”. If that value drives ai and what ai produces, ai can and should produce only good.

breathe
Humans and many other creatures need oxygen (clean air) to survive and thrive. We must ensure breathable air for all. If not, we will soon be gasping for what little breathable air remains. It is up to all of us to change our future. Only then will we and many other creatures survive and hopefully thrive. [hopeful message with bright cloud]
