We need to halt the AI rollout and focus on using engineering talent to help make sure afforestation works and forests conditions are monitored carefully. We need to make sure that the forests we have can be sustained and the carbon we have

Drastic oversimplification of what is meant here. The core take away is writing can give the illusion of wisdom without the reality of it. True wisdom must be cultivated internally, through thoughtful interaction and lived experience—not si

I believe this post is relevant to HN because we depend upon our ecosystems in order to function as engineers. This incident has been largely unreported in the US mostly due to the dominance of reporting on the federal government lately. Bu
