Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.
@cammerman I always remember the old copies of "science" magazines from early 1900, with ads selling radioactive elements to eat and feel "healthier"!
Still isn't enough, as I heard some years ago of people drinking colloidal gold and silver, for a presumed "healthy" effect -
@gilester45 @artnacrea @cammerman In the 80s
@1000millimeter @artnacrea @cammerman Yeah - they were around for longer than people seem to think. Or, perhaps my little backwater town didn't get the memo about them being a terrible idea.

@cammerman remeber 50 years ago when asbestos was new and exiting and poorly understood, and companies were putting asbestos into everything?
Thankfully we learned our lesson and will never make that mistake again.

@sillyCoelophysis But there are certain fandoms that just aren't worth even accidentally brushing up against.

@ZenHeathen fair point, but it's kind of the AI jerks that did the brushing up against. You're just admitting to getting the reference.

@sillyCoelophysis As I called out the trend of such references, though, it was like putting out bait to attract "well, actually"s. Nobody needs that kind of reply guy.

..and before that it was cocaine...
#cocaine in #CocaCola, cough-syrup, etc...
Yeah it cures everything....Way before that it was fire. Burning solves everything ... #heresy, #eternalDamnation, #witches..
#humankind is basically a six year old with a hammer.. every new thing is a nail for a minute....

Radium is just but one element on the periodic table, all isotopes of which being highly unstable. There's noting evil nor good about it.
The things the tech bros name their "creations" after are deliberately constructed as such evils.
@datenwolf @ZenHeathen @cammerman
Radon "AI" would be more appropriate because it seeps into f*king everything *especially* where it's unwanted...

@kf7ccc @cammerman Guaranteed to kill all insects and vermin.

THEY will never do the mistake again. The one who died of cancer, I mean.

@cammerman Frankly, given their penchant for naming their companies and products after evil lately, I'm quite surprised there isn't a "Radium AI" out there.
They could call tokens Röntgens.

@cammerman DDT was like that. They used to drive trucks through neighborhoods spraying the stuff and kids would chase it and play in the fog.
