Or the one.

Free speech also entails how willingly you are to put that speech out there. If you want to cover it with a paywall of any sort, you are most welcome to do that. Keep in mind that free speech and its actions also have consequences. If your content is good enough, people might pay to see it. Free market and all that.

We've been predicting that we won't be ready for AGI/ASI emergence both in science and in scifi for decades. Still holds true, even as the potential grows. If we're really lucky, AGI isn't possible, but I think that just powerful AI tools like LLMs and such will end up being just as dangerous in their misuse by power seekers and profiteers. We've seen this coming, and though even the actual people working on them are talking about the dangers, we're barreling forward without a care.

These softwares are purging resumes of perfectly qualified candidates without the human hiring managers ever knowing about it.

I was watching an astronomer's channel the other day and she brought up how automated much of the initial processes are for telescopes now. She said a similar thing, wondering if there is good information in that filtering that is never seen by the humans who view the "sanitized" end product. Any tool is useful as long as you understand its limitations and don't have blind trust. I fear that somehow most people are using AI with a blind trust of the "intelligence" part, not understanding that it's hardly perfect and often times very bad if misused. Or overused for everything.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm behind on the episodes, but he won me over with Pike as a Starfleet captain with the first episode of SNW.

"For a successful technology (or anything man does), reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

The slope isn't exaggerated at all, the increments are same as if you showed the full graph from zero. But zero isn't a useful baseline, and zooming out to fit it into your screen would give a false impression of a flat change at the top of a narrow section of history. What would fix that is a longer x-axis showing further back in time. Then you'd see a relatively flat line with some rises and dips, then at the end a sudden spike.

Here's a chart at the beginning of the global average surface temps, so you can compare from 1960 and see a similar trend. Lower down you can also find the IPCC projected paths and see the same. RCP8.5 was considered no action and business as usual...more or less where we still are.

As campy as that was, even for the crew, I have to think what Spock might say: "Certainly odd, and yet it still has our ship captured." I still love that episode. As a kid the idea of gods being "just" alien visitors far beyond our understanding was genius, and as an adult understanding the much darker side of it that I didn't get as a kid (why Lt. Carolyn Palamas came back to the end scene looking all battered).

"And here's something else, Bob. I have eight different bosses right now."

Sounds like a solution for when management can't even pay rent.
