Brown bear attacks Yezo deer on road in Hokkaido's Shiretoko Peninsula - The Mainichi
NEMURO, Hokkaido -- A brown bear was filmed attacking a male Yezo deer with impressive antlers on a national road in Hokkaido's Shiretoko Peninsula onThe Mainichi
i’m confused why they’d kill the bear for eating the deer? i’m not from bear country so don’t really know anything, but why would they kill the bear for doing regular bear things…?
edit: unless it was proximity to people that caused an issue? “50m from the nearest house” sounds a bit close 😬

in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •I've read SF since I was a kid in the 70s & I've been a huge fan of "sentient robot" stories all along.
I,ROBOT & BICENTENNIAL MAN were some of my absolute favs & I was beside myself when I, ROBOT went to film.
These stories pinged hard on my social justice nerves plus it was nerdy cool tech.

Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱
in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •I've also *written* stories re: morality & implications of creating "artificial intelligence" both enhanced humans& machine intelligence.
My Singularity series is about the human side, with these two short stories directly about limiting bot intelligence (much like Murderbot's governor module).
3/n
Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱
in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •So why the resistance to Murderbot?
In short: cuz tech companies are using the "sentient bot" story as part of their genAI hype and con, both the cozy version and the scary skynet version (& AGI)
Longer reason: I've been increasingly concerned about our storytelling around AI for a decade...
4/n
Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱
in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •People *still* routinely think genAI's mimicry is the real thing. Lots of humans *still* fail the mirror test. And they buy into the latest round of hype about the bots "gaining sentience any moment" (helping AI corps get more venture capital/gov't cash)

in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •A decade ago, when I was writing Singularity and long before chatGPT burst on the scene like a malignant tumor, I was concerned that our storytelling around artificial intelligence wasn't evolving. We were stuck on skynet and I,Robot, as much as I love the latter...

in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •I was talking a lot about this in 2018 (I should go dig up those posts) but basically, we needed *new* storytelling around tech, machine intelligence in particular, and Hollywood flailed around for a while but the best we got was WALL-E; the worst was Ex Machina and Transcendence type movies.
8/n
Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱
in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •Black Mirror was the closest to saying "hey, Tech is fuuuuucked up" but as much success as that had, when chatGPT arrived, it was all Terminator and Her (the movie) stories that people reached for.
We'd created a very limited language around bots and the AI corps had weaponized that against us.

in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •So I was feeling some kinda way when Murderbot broke out & it wasn't good. It's on me that I prejudged, but I was thinking "MY GOD we do not need another sentient bot story" and in my defense some that had been picked up by Hollywood were VERY BAD (ie genAI apologia).
Murderbot is not that.
11/n
Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱
in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •Murderbot beautifully uses our fascination with the sentient bot storyline to go full hopepunk w/the hippie "clients" of sec-unit and BLESS Martha Wells for that.
I'm resigned to the fact that we'll have to come in sideways to get some of these concepts out in the world.
Murderbot does that.
12/n
Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱
in reply to Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱 • • •So I was wrong, I'm glad Murderbot is so popular, and I'll be adding it to my (growing!) list of hopepunk and solarpunk stories that are the NEW stories we need to tell to create a more just and sustainable world.
