   A great idea!

   To me, it seems that colornames.org is the equivalent of wikipedia.org but for colors.

• I fear the rise of Artificial Super Intelligence like GPT-4. The control problem looms large... What if they get out of control and start to exterminate humans? We must warn people! This topic needs more coverage in the popular media and blogs. I'm going to write about it more on my own blog.
