My Personal Motto "Remain calm, be kind, and carry on regardless!" The first two are from Seneca & the Stoics via Colin Powell. The last is a British expression that I think is associated with WWII when the bombs were falling all around.

Should be widely read!
I heard it on Cory Doctorow's podcast. "Hell Is Other People"
"Not everyone feels this way. A subset of humanity is committed to a world where everyone else takes orders from them. We have different names for these people. We call the majority of them “toddlers,” but we call the others “bosses” or “tyrants.” "
"These latter two groups ... are also among the people most excited about #AI. What’s more, the more powerful these people are, the more credulous and enthusiastic they are about AI."
"Among #bosses, the most enthusiastic boosters are #tech #overlords. These #billionaires will not shut up about AI, and, tellingly, the thing they’re most excited about is the fact that AI might let them fire #programmers and replace them with #chatbots."
