This extra post for July’s fifth Wednesday features a summer ride from the edge of Amsterdam into the city centre—via a lively Vondelpark full of people on bikes and on foot.
The ride ends inside the large underground bicycle parking at Leidseplein.

"CEOs are extremely excited about the opportunities that AI brings," Elijah Clark,
a chief executive who advises other head honchos on using AI at their companies,
told Gizmodo in an interview.
"As a CEO myself, I can tell you, I'm extremely excited about it.
I've laid off employees myself because of AI."
Clark is one of many executives who've been strikingly honest about their intentions to cast aside their flesh and blood workers in favor of AI.
One tech startup is even advertising its AI "sales agent" by putting up billboards that read
"Stop Hiring Humans"
in cities like San Francisco, and recently New York.
Not all are quite so glib,
but most seem to be in agreement that the tech will wipe out loads of jobs.
And AI CEOs including Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic have repeatedly warned that their tech will put millions of people out of work,
perhaps in an attempt to manifest a self-fulfilling prophecy while appearing to care about the plight of their fellow humans

CEO Brags That He Gets "Extremely Excited" Firing People and Replacing Them With AI
A CEO who advises other CEOs on how to use AI to replace human jobs doesn't seem to be possessing a whole lotta guilt — or self-awareness.Frank Landymore (Futurism)
"AI CEOs including Sam Altman of OpenAI and Dario Amodei of Anthropic have repeatedly warned that their tech will put millions of people out of work,
perhaps in an attempt to manifest a self-fulfilling prophecy"
Y'know, if the revelation that Altman, Amodei and their ilk are AI-generated beings themselves and are only pushing for an AI future to purge all human life on Earth came out tomorrow, I wouldn't be shocked.

The Familiar Suicide & Final Wish of the NYC Gunman
#ShaneTamura is not the first former #football player to shoot himself in the chest & request that his #brain be examined.
The scenario has become grimly familiar to football fans: A former player experiencing cognitive issues kills himself with a gunshot to his chest, rather than his head, to allow for his brain to be examined for the disease linked to repeated blows sustained on the field.

“Study my brain please,”the note said.
Duerson, Seau & Bramwell were found to have #CTE, which can be diagnosed only posthumously.
It will take weeks, or possibly months, to determine if the gunman had CTE, acc/to neuropathology experts.
Chris Nowinski, a fmr pro wrestler & Harvard #football player who for years has been pushing #sports leagues to acknowledge the link between the #brain disease & #concussions, said a CTE diagnosis requires the…study of 20 different regions of the brain.

Servelan reshared this.
Nowinski is the co-founder of the #Concussion Legacy Foundation, a nonprofit group that supports #athletes & others affected by #concussions & #CTE. He recalled many cases of former #football players found to have CTE after experiencing a drastic change of personality leading to erratic #behavior, poor decision-making &, in some cases, #violence that included #murder.
But he warned against prematurely blaming #CTE for anyone’s actions.
“#MentalHealth issues come from a lot of different places, not just from #brain injuries or CTE,” Nowinski said. “But I also know the history of this issue, & it’s something that keeps me up at night.”
Regarding the gunman & his request that his brain be studied for CTE, Nowinski said: “It is critical that his brain is studied because this is a #pattern, right?”
A positive diagnosis would not mean that #CTE necessarily caused the gunman to be violent, experts said. Though people with CTE often have problems with #thinking, #memory & #behavior, there are many factors involved when a person decides to commit a heinous act, said Dr. Daniel H. Daneshvar, chief of #brain injury rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School.
“I would never draw a direct line between someone’s #brain pathology & any specific #violent act because the majority of people who have #CTE never committed anything like this,” Dr. Daneshvar said.
He added that “the majority of people with CTE never engage in violent #behavior at all,” & that just “a fraction of a percent” of people with CTE displayed the type of violent behavior seen in the #shooting on Monday.
[that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a contributing factor]
Dr. Ann McKee, the director of the Boston University #CTE Center, who has studied thousands of brains of #athletes & others exposed to #brain #trauma, said very little is known about the link between #violent impulsive #behavior & CTE, & that more studies must be done.
“There is damage to the frontal lobes, which can damage decision making & judgment,”she said. “It can also cause impulsivity & rage behaviors, so it’s possible that there’s some connection between brain injury & these behaviors.”
