I wonder if any of them will ever be "realized".
Well, as a real series, I mean....
Come to think of it, I suppose it's already happened?

Come to think of it, I suppose it's already happened?
The Covid-19 pandemic in particular was a good opportunity for healthy profits.
I mean, that's what it was trained on, right?
Speaking of faces in spaces, is there an equivalent to Eigenfaces in linguistics?
I suggest Eigenbabbles.
Yes, this post is self-referential.
And if it really is a global extinction event at the moment, I can't wait to see what wonderful new variants will blossom from that tabula rasa in ten to twenty million years.
Will they be less conscious or more, more or less social, more or less intelligent, more distributed intelligence like in insect societies?
Will they be smaller, smarter, more vicious?
No doubt, a deep valley is surrounded by high hills.
It was only logical to fuel the research project in Centralia with fire.
Not exactly, but it fits the trope of Nightmare Fuel. Not to speak of, the setting is in Louisiana.
Even if it has to tap into its reserves...
"I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member."
You think, that's just a joke?
Just wait until you're married...

My precious.
There must be some LotR/Darkover crossover out there somewhere.
"It is this fragility that makes deception so very easy up to a point, and so tempting. It never comes into a conflict with reason, because things could indeed have been as the liar maintains they were. Lies are often much more plausible, more appealing to reason, than reality, since the liar has the great advantage of knowing beforehand what the audience wishes or expects to hear. He has prepared his story for public consumption with a careful eye to making it credible, whereas reality has the disconcerting habit of confronting us with the unexpected, for which we were not prepared."
As the saying goes, "All models are wrong, but some are useful". I would like to add: "For different people for different reasons".
It's a little sad that I can't conjure up mental images of significant personal events, such as the birth of my children. The first time I held them in my arms. On the other hand, reports of atrocities and the like do not induce any inner images. I literally can't imagine anything in them, so they don't trigger a visceral reaction. That's a plus.
Saves time.
Of course, it remains a significant challenge for Chatty 4 to make something intellectually insightful out of it.
"Here's a summarized list of the key points from the Bridgewater Associates article "Assessing the Implications of a Productivity Miracle":
1. AI and ML Impact: AI/ML tools are reducing the marginal cost of cognitive tasks, potentially leading to a productivity miracle.
2. Bottlenecks and Opportunities*: Significant challenges in using AI/ML for complex tasks exist, but these are increasingly surmountable.
3. Business Impact: Low or zero marginal cost in white-collar work creates significant opportunities and risks for profits, influenced by a company's pricing power.
4. Economic Shifts: AI advancements could reshape spending and economic activities, similar to historical labor distribution shifts.
5. Potential for Explosive Growth: If AI can automate innovation itself, it could lead to unprecedented economic growth.
6. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Achieving AGI, which can automate diverse intellectual tasks, is necessary for the most transformative impacts but remains a significant challenge."

"What do you think it will be like to live in the distant future, say in 2023?"
It produced the following sequence of tokens:

A monad trapped in itself, overwhelmed by the things to come...
Some of course claim this is its main advantage...
