...The AI will grow sentient, irradiate the crabs to make them larger and stronger, merge with their nervous system, and these Bionic Crabs will then hijack ships and battle the humans for control of major cities. An injured renegade Google employee will gave a child a special fob that can stop them, but only if...

Ironically few of their products are "visual" any more. They got rid of WYSIWYG in their dev tools so now devs have to play fiddle faddle to get stuff to look right, and even then DOM shuffles them around in drunk ways under different conditions. It's a time-drain.
WYSIWYG isn't evil, it just needed a few tweaks to adapt. But fadsters were too quick to toss it out with the bathwater over buzzword addiction. Gittoffmylawn!
there's already too much solar at those parts of the day. the money paid for giving it to the grid when it's not needed is exactly zero
If there were no solar contributed to the gird, would they charge for power? Yes.
If the power company had excess capacity on their end, would they give it away for free? No.
The only reason there is excess from solar is because they haven't invested in storage to handle it. They won't have money to invest in that storage if they're giving it away. Why is that up to them anyway? It's not theirs to give away. The only reason people are OK with contributing their own excess back to the grid is because they get back credits or money.
Whether artificial intelligence systems will end up being a positive or a negative force for humanity is still an open question. But we might find ourselves one day with AI embedded at every layer of our existence, living lives of toned down and diluted humanity with only our dreams for escape. Although I am not yet convinced of this worst case scenario, I believe it is important that we as software developers have at least the option to opt out of that system altogether, to be able to continue hacking, working, and tinkering in a space of our own in total absence of artificial intelligence systems, and share this luxury with our users.
I designed a software license for this purpose. It is called the Human Only Public License, or HOPL for short.
While a license like this is probably entirely unenforceable and goes against a strict open source ethos (both traits shared with the problematic "do not evil" JSON license), the appeal of continuing the tradition of one human creating something specifically for other humans is understandable. It also gives those developers who are concerned with the negative impact AI tools may have on software development as a field and career a way to push back.
The license is also published on GitHub.
"Aflac" and nobody will ever fight for your name. Plus, it makes for a memorable duck mascot.
(Although rumor is they are fighting with Duck Duck Go over the mascot.)

...if there are only toothless penalties on the plutocrats who lie and cheat, the data will useless. They like to hide the reasons they cut staff to keep investors from knowing what's really going on.
Another way to say this: any bill that actually punishes slimy plutocrats will likely never pass.
Our generation might not like it, but if our kids get used to it, insects are a great food source. Same phylum as crabs.
95% of countries have agreed to not swipe land. It's the 5% that cause all the headaches.
All Elon's solutions somehow involve space:
Back itches? His satellite emits a laser beam on the itchy part via an app.
Federal budget deficit? Fund Elon's asteroid mining bots to bring precious metals back to pay down the debt.
Lonely? His

Warming is already a global problem. When enough side-effects kick enough nations, they'll start to care and cooperate.
The most important early product on the way to developing a good product is an imperfect version.
