The Law of Intended Consequences: Designing Possible Futures by Natasha Vita-More
The Law of Intended Consequences
Clear intention means focusing on what you want.
then infuse your wants with AGI's needs
Together these are the requirements for building
AGI's future. In short, know know intensions
because they could produce AGI's consequences
I think that this talk was most interesting, because Natasha Vita-More has been thinking about methods to look at the future in a fairly structured way. I think that the more academically oriented people tended to discount this a bit. I do not, the people that think about the future path, and what the plan (or roadmap) is will help drive the success of Artificial General Intelligence

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects. www.tierpark-berlin.
Priory Road Cemetery, Huntingdon
"In this case the Scotch-express passenger-train, due to leave Peterborough for London at 6.18 p.m., and consisting of an engine and tender and 10 vehicles, came into collision, whilst approaching the Abbotts-Ripton signal-cabin at full speed, and with the steam still on, with a coal-train due to leave Peterborough in front of it at 5.35 pm., which, having left Peterborough at 5.53, was being shunted out of its way into the Abbotts- Ripton siding. The down-main-line having become obstructed by the debris from this first collision, the Leeds-and-York express passenger-train, 5.30 p.m. from London, after passing Huntingdon at 6.59 pm., came into col1ision; first with the tender and afterwards with certain damaged carriages of the Scotch-express-train.
Thirteen passengers have unfortunately lost their lives in consequence of these collisions, and up to the present time 53 additional passengers have been ascertained to be more or less injured. The engine-driver, fireman, and head-guard of the Scotch express-train, and the engine-driver and fireman and front guard of the Leeds-express train, were also injured."
Railway Accident at Abbot's Ripton.—The most fatal result of the snow storm just mentioned was one of those terrible railway disasters with which we are, unhappily, so familiar. The scene of the disaster was a signal-station on the main line of the Great Northern Railway, known as Abbot's Ripton station, about six miles north of Huntingdon. The atmosphere had been thick all day in the neighbourhood, and as evening closed in a blinding storm came on, covering the district for many miles with a thick coating of snow.
The snow fell so heavily and in such large flakes that the railway signals were observed with great difficulty, and travelling became a matter of considerable risk and danger.
An ordinary up coal train from Peterborough had arrived at Abbot's Ripton station at ten minutes to seven o'clock. There is a crossing here, and the signalman on duty at the points, knowing that the Scotch up-express leaving Edinburgh at 10.30 A.M. was nearly due, desired Joseph Bray, the driver in charge of the coal train, to shunt into a siding, so as to allow the express to run through. A few minutes were occupied in this movement, and about twenty-five of the coal-trucks had passed into the siding, when the roar of the Scotch express approaching was heard from the direction of Peterborough, and the next instant the coal-train was struck by the Scotch engine about three or four trucks in the rear of the coal-train tender.
The effect of the collision was to completely block both the up and down rails. The leading carriages of the express were much shattered, and many of their inmates seriously injured, but, up to this time, it is believed that none were killed.
There was scarcely time for the passengers who were uninjured to alight from the express, and while attempts to extricate the wounded were being organised the down Leeds express, leaving King's Cross at 5.30 p.m., and driven by Wilson, an experienced Great Northern engineer, having run past Huntingdon without any warning of danger, came rushing on through the snow storm, and in a few seconds ran direct into the debris of the two trains already wrecked, increasing the confusion already prevailing, and almost paralysing the efforts of those present who had been able to exert themselves.
The moment the coal train reached Peterborough all the medical men in the town were hastily gathered together, and sent down by a Manchester goods train that at that moment was standing ready. Every possible effort was made in other ways to succour the wounded.
The list of casualties proved to be a terribly long one, and was almost exclusively confined to persons of some position. Those killed on the spot amounted to twelve persons; they were Mr. James Sanderson, the Marquis of Exeter's agent; Mr. Jolliffe, a gentleman farmer in the Isle of Wight; two daughters of Mr. R. Burdon Sanderson, of Newcastle; Mrs. Fosbery, an Irish lady, and her two daughters; Mrs. Allgood, the wife of a clergyman near Alnwick, and her two sons; Mr. Dion William Boucicault, the eldest son of the well-known actor; and Mr. Herbert Noble, only surviving son of the sculptor.
Mr. Muir, a Scottish barrister, the thirteenth victim, lived long enough to be removed to the Huntingdon County Hospital, where he died shortly after.
Mr. and Mrs. Sanderson, the parents of the two young ladies who were killed, met with very serious injuries, as did many of the remaining passengers, and were taken to the hospital. Count Schouvaloff, the Russian Ambassador, was in the train, but happily escaped unhurt; his servant was among the injured.

Don't look away, look deeper.
The negative consequences of iLUC have been hotly debated. Recent debate has focused increasingly on a pragmatic approach to reducing the need for land, thereby reducing risks from direct and indirect changes in land use. These approaches include: • Using degraded and/or underused land where the risks of increased GHGs and the loss of biodiversity would be substantially lower. However, the process for identifying such land areas needs to be thorough, addressing soil recovery issues and scope for higher levels of agrochemical and water input to increase yields. • Using waste and residues, which requires a solid definition of waste and an assessment of competing uses, such as using organic residues to rebuild soil fertility. • Improving yields, particularly in regions where crop and land productivity are considerably lower and could still be improved without incurring risks associated with intensive agriculture. • Using an agricultural-systems approach, which integrates both biomass production for various end-uses and conservation measures. For example, one approach could be IFES designed to integrate, intensify and thus increase the simultaneous production of food and energy. Conservation agriculture is an approach for ‘resource-saving agricultural crop production that strives to achieve acceptable profits together with high and sustained production levels while concurrently conserving the environment’ (IFAD). • Encouraging efficiency improvements in agricultural production to maximize output per unit of input.

CURTIN
Bishop of Western Australia
Honourable Bishop,
We would like to Convoy our problems to you and the public of Australia that we faced in the past and present.
As a Srilankan tamil we have experienced high level of torture from the government, military, and para military groups. We have been tortured for several reasons and threats for our life. Lot of tamils held in the prison for several years. Due to this consequences we have made a dangerous journey to save our life and looking for a new life. We came to Australia after being here now we are very fearful regarding our life because we are living here with no peace and no guarantee for our future. Every day we are going worse in mentality and we are going through lot of depression. We don’t have anybody to tell about this and cry or support for our sorrows. We are feeling like an orphan here. We have been detained for a long term (most of us has been detained more than 14 months). We hope that you will support us for our future because of this we want to share our feeling with you.
As a Srilankan tamil we have affected in so many ways. Such as race, religion, education, work and belongings has been controlled by the Srilankan government. Because of this we didn’t had a peace and freedom life in Srilanka. In the final stage or was (May 2009) thousands of innocent people killed, detained and tortured by the Srilankan government and para military groups (For evidence you can see the CHANEL -4 Video Clip) Not only that bus also that Tamils in Srilanka facing inhumanitarian problems. Such as abduction, rape, torture and bribary. Furthermore I.N.G.O’s, independent organisations and journalism doesn’t have free access to enter the places that they want and they don’t have power to raise the voice against the government. Because if they do so their life will be in risk and [writing cut off]

-enough freedom to publish the matters against the government. But in Australia our applications for refugee claim has been rejected first time and second time. So how can we go back to our country where the international organisations can’t move freely? So how can we go back to an inhumanatarian country?
Note – because we are tamil, srilankan government thinks we are tamil tigers. So they torture us.
Most of the tamils in Srilanka has faced racial discrimination and religious discrimination. Due to this situation we have fled from the country and came to Australia to seek asylum.
1. Even we are under the refugee convention of U.N.H.C.R the Australian immigration giving us lot of negative decisions. Why we are getting negative decisions even we are under the convention of U.N.H.C.R?
2. Recently U.N.H.C.R, Amnesty international, Human Rights Commission, U.S.A report, other organisations and humanitarian countries has reported the current situation in Srilanka is very dangerous. Such as abduction, killed and rape is still going on. Why the immigration department of Australia giving us negative decision by looking the support news for Srilankan government. But there are lot of news against Srilanka. Why are they not looking at it? It makes us to feel surprise and hurt in our heart.
3. RSA and IMR results has been giving after a long time. Lot of us has been received negative decisions. Because of this we are not feeling good in mentality. We are under lot of depressions. Now our life is in question mark. As a tamil we never has a peaceful life in the past and in the present.
4. After we have received TMR negative decision we don’t have any support

from government and immigration. We have to take care our own problems. We have nobody to help here. We don’t have any relatives or friend in Australia. We are all alone here. We don’t have proper legal advice after IMR negative. Once we received the IMR negative decision we have to appeal to the Court within 35 days. But we have to find the money and lawyer to that certain period. Now we are in detention how can we arrange money and lawyer? Because of all this we are suffering mentally. We are going through a mental torture. We are waiting here looking for help. Please help us.
For these issues we are seeking help from you for our new life and better future. Please have mercy in us and help us. Thank you
Yours faithfully
Tamil Refugees in Curtin Detention Centre

WHO KNOW WE ARE?

Auf einer Fläche von 60.000 m² hat nun die einzigartige Tierwelt des Himalaya Einzug gehalten. Dabei begegnen den Bergsteiger*innen nicht nur bekannte Gebirgsbewohner wie Rote Pandas, Schneeleoparden und Bartgeier, sondern auch weniger bekannte Arten wie Goldtakin, Goral, Manul und Satyrtragopan. Nach einer Bauzeit von gut einem Jahr verwandelte sich der 60 Meter hohe Trümmerberg in eine asiatische Gebirgslandschaft mit zahlreichen neuen Aussichtpunkten. Rund 100 Individuen aus 22 verschiedenen – größtenteils in der Natur bedrohten - Tierarten haben in Berlins Hochgebirge ihr neues Zuhause gefunden. (Tierpark Berlin)

The unique animal world of the Himalayas has now found its way into an area of 60,000 m². Climbers will not only encounter well-known mountain dwellers such as red pandas, snow leopards and bearded vultures, but also lesser-known species such as takin, goral, Pallas'scat and satyr tragopan. After a construction period of just over a year, the 60-metre-high mountain of rubble was transformed into an Asian mountain landscape with numerous new vantage points. Around 100 individuals from 22 different animal species - most of them endangered in the wild - have found their new home in Berlin's high mountains. (Source: Tierpark Berlin)

The National Offender Management Service event, Actions Have Consequences, was delivered to pupils at schools in Oldham, Rochdale, Salford and Bolton by a Her Majesty's Prison (HMP) officer, dog handler Paul McGovern MBE and GMP were there to support the event.
Prison Officer Paul McGovern MBE, from HMP Manchester, works within the Prison Community Team which engages with children in local schools to break the cycle of children being peer pressured into local crime gangs and subsequently being imprisoned when they are adults.
The aim of the Actions Have Consequences programme is to build bridges between local children, their teachers, local neighbourhood policing teams, school based officers and the youth offending team.
The programme is carried out in a fun but serious way and covers 46 subjects, some of which include the realities of knife crime, gang wars, drugs, anti-social behaviour, relationship breakdown, and the a real-life experience of being in prison.
Local GMP officers and pupils interact throughout the session and the pupils soon see through the police uniform and see the individual underneath, who are not only there for when they are in trouble but are also there to help them.
Since it began in 2010 the programme has been delivered to over one million children throughout the country with the support of the local neighbourhood teams, school based officers and the youth offending teams.
GMP is committed to educating young people, engaging with the community and taking part in programmes like these that are vital in helping to shaping people's future.
Prison Officer Paul McGovern MBE comments that: "I put a lot of energy into the day so it is quite tiring but if it stops one person from being killed or stops someone being imprisoned, the aim of the programme has worked.
"I do have to mention my two prison dogs G and J who also come along on the day. They always receive lots of attention but when I need a volunteer for someone to wear the sleeve - everyone goes strangely quiet.
"I have received positive feedback from those schools I have attended so I must be doing something right as I am always asked when I am coming back".
Chief Inspector Danny Atherton commented that: "We have worked with Paul and the programme for many years and find it is a valuable input for the young people of Greater Manchester.
“It is a powerful way to educate them as they approach adulthood, so they make the right decisions when a situation arises to keep themselves and their friends safe.
"I'm proud to support such an inspiring project and I'd like to thank everyone that works hard to make it happen. Sadly, these examples and situations are some people's reality, but by sharing them we hope they will make good choices in the future and speak to ourselves if they need help."
Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester Bev Hughes said: “We are committed, not only to strong enforcement against violent crime, but also to trying to prevent it happening first place. Greater Manchester’s Violence Reduction Unit takes a public health approach to violence reduction; this means focusing on understanding what lies behind the problem, the root causes, on testing and evaluating interventions to find out what works best, then and delivering those interventions more widely.
“Interventions such as the Actions have Consequences programme help to build positive relationships between children, their teachers and the police.
“By working with young people, families and communities we can understand and address the reasons how and why people, particularly young people, can get drawn into violent crime. If we can turn young people away from violence at the earliest possible opportunity we can make a real difference to them and our communities."
The consequences caused by water damage in your home may be devastating, not just due to the damages it could possibly cause to your most valued possessions but additionally the danger it may well cause to your health. Such specialists are properly-schooled in virtually all of the advanced strategies of water damage restoration, additionally they have entry to essentially the most innovative know-how accessible to dry out your own home and also forestall hazardous fungi and micro organism from getting a foothold. Similarly, house and condominium dwellers, depending on the scale of the unit, might have the water heater located in an space that's central to the unit thus maximizing the radius of the potential harm.

The programme is carried out in a fun but serious way and covers 46 subjects, some of which include the realities of knife crime, gang wars, drugs, anti-social behaviour, relationship breakdown, and the a real-life experience of being in prison.
Local GMP officers and pupils interact throughout the session and the pupils soon see through the police uniform and see the individual underneath, who are not only there for when they are in trouble but are also there to help them.
Since it began in 2010 the programme has been delivered to over one million children throughout the country with the support of the local neighbourhood teams, school based officers and the youth offending teams.
GMP is committed to educating young people, engaging with the community and taking part in programmes like these that are vital in helping to shaping people's future.
Prison Officer Paul McGovern MBE comments that: "I put a lot of energy into the day so it is quite tiring but if it stops one person from being killed or stops someone being imprisoned, the aim of the programme has worked.
"I do have to mention my two prison dogs G and J who also come along on the day. They always receive lots of attention but when I need a volunteer for someone to wear the sleeve - everyone goes strangely quiet.
"I have received positive feedback from those schools I have attended so I must be doing something right as I am always asked when I am coming back".
Chief Inspector Danny Atherton commented that: "We have worked with Paul and the programme for many years and find it is a valuable input for the young people of Greater Manchester.
“It is a powerful way to educate them as they approach adulthood, so they make the right decisions when a situation arises to keep themselves and their friends safe.
"I'm proud to support such an inspiring project and I'd like to thank everyone that works hard to make it happen. Sadly, these examples and situations are some people's reality, but by sharing them we hope they will make good choices in the future and speak to ourselves if they need help."
Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester Bev Hughes said: “We are committed, not only to strong enforcement against violent crime, but also to trying to prevent it happening first place. Greater Manchester’s Violence Reduction Unit takes a public health approach to violence reduction; this means focusing on understanding what lies behind the problem, the root causes, on testing and evaluating interventions to find out what works best, then and delivering those interventions more widely.
“Interventions such as the Actions have Consequences programme help to build positive relationships between children, their teachers and the police.
“By working with young people, families and communities we can understand and address the reasons how and why people, particularly young people, can get drawn into violent crime. If we can turn young people away from violence at the earliest possible opportunity we can make a real difference to them and our communities."
A residential street in Ilion.
When deciding where to stay for the night, I looked at a AAA map of New York state and found a town called Herkimer in red ink at about the spot where I thought we would want to stop (on AAA maps, red ink means there's AAA-approved accommodation). The following morning I was in the lobby of the motel and, glancing at a map of the area, noticed by chance that Ilion was two towns away (that is, less than two miles).
Now Ilion is of interest to me as the original home of Remington Arms Company, an important customer. Indeed, I talk to Ilion-based Remington employees every week (though more and more are moving to Huntsville, AL). I had no idea at all I was going to be visiting this famous town before I saw that map.
We took a few minutes to drive through the town before heading south for Newark Airport. I was really surprised by how very tiny the town of Ilion is: I thought it would be much larger. The Remington factory is obviously the largest facility and employer in town, though sadly for the town itself it employs fewer and fewer people. As a consequence the town appears to be experiencing a gradual decline.
In President Trump's first meeting with Nancy Pelosi and "Chuck U. Shumer", the conversation got a little heated when "the wall" came up. Trump said we need the wall to protect our country, and Nancy and Chuck were squirming like vampires caught out in the open at dawn, unsure how to act in front of live TV cameras.
They're used to being able to accuse their opponents of things they never did or said in closed door meetings, but with the cameras rolling, they're stuck with the truth.
So they tried to turn the moment to their advantage by trying to pin the potential partial 'shut-down' of the government on Trump, but that backfired when Trump accepted the 'blame' - proudly - in the name of trying to protect the country.
This really flustered Chuck and Nancy, because they never, ever take responsibility for anything, and they started hissing and squirming like Gollum and called for "negotiating" these things away from the cameras.
But thinking himself to be clever, Chuck tipped his hand and dragged out the old Obama line "Elections have consequences".. And there it is. The arrogance of power the Democrats are so famous for.
You're right, Chuck.. Elections DO have consequences, and the Republicans won in the Senate, didn't they.. You might want to crank back on that arrogant attitude just a notch or two, genius..

This is what happens when you run around in the woods and get muddy. Let that be a lesson to you, Cosmo.
Everything comes with its counter-part.

Truth or Consequences is a spa city in Sierra County, New Mexico. Originally called Hot Springs, the area took its unique name from a gameshow challenge in the 1950s.
This photo depicts a place called Riverbend Hot Springs where we stayed overnight a couple of times. It's the best place to wake up in the morning to have a soak in the hot springs and watch the sun come up over the Rio Grande.
Another one whose print I didn't keep. In consequence I am unable to give a date or identify the location. No prizes for those of you who said South Wales. Even if you ignore the fleetname on the bus and its destination display I don't think the background could be anywhere else in the world. It even looks as though there's some rain brewing up over the mountains. Port Talbot or Maesteg are possibilities.
I see from Bus Lists that, presumably by National Bus Company diktat, this batch of Marshall-bodied, Leyland-engined Bristol RELLs were split between South Wales Transport and Western Welsh, all with UKG XXXJ registrations. Perhaps there were other instances, but I don't recall another case of a block of registration numbers being split between two companies.
