I do want to emphasize how miraculous this is, nearly 1000 homes have been lost so far with 67000 people displaced and not one person has died and there have been no major injuries
🏰meg⚔️Very, very good news at the least 🙏 still not one human casualty, I am so proud of this community for taking care of one another to stay safe #spokane

We're sitting around 12%, 13%, and 5% containment for each of the three fires. We are not a big city or a place that gets a lot of media attention so people are already acting like this is over but it very much isn't. Please keep Spokane in your thoughts and help out if you can
City of SpokaneAs the Spokane community continues to face the devastating impacts of local wildfires, you can help your neighbors. We will continue to update this thread with more opportunities to help!
Fires are still going and weather conditions this week are going to get worse for fighting them. We are very much not out of the woods yet and need all the resources we can get right now. If you have the means, please go through the quoted thread and donate. Even if you can't donate, please share.

This. I don't think anyone is really anti-AI. They're anti-the-companies-pushing-AI. LLMs have some really incredible use cases. They can be assistive technologies, help with mental load, and allow you to focus more on the present than an endless stream of tasks or your phone.
If you're not sure where to donate, Innovia is a good catch-all that distributes funds to many different organizations. Highly recommend donating to them as well

Please also consider donating to WatchDuty if you're able. They are a disaster information aggregator and were consistently the fastest and most accurate resource as the Spokane fires were spreading. Very likely, they saved lives. They're free for all to use but need funds to keep running:
