Fair enough.
Dual axis line graph with total assets on x1 and # of failures on x2, either 2 different colors for the lines or solid and dashed. Y remains as time.

Are you kidding? There are already prompt engineering consultants making huge stacks teaching organizations how they can augment or even replace their knowledge workers with language models. Everyone is very underprepared for how quickly things are going to change.

TaskRabbit will have a lot more requests for a human to solve a captcha due to “vision impairments”, or whatever the fuck GPT-4 claimed in order to trick the TaskRabbit agent.

Odd. You mention how a bank failure hurts everyone yet admit to actively contributing to the problem.

Honestly, this would look way better plotted as assets value vs. time. No one cares how many banks fail, just how much damage was done in real terms. The number of failures is extraneous and makes the chart look unnecessarily complicated. Simple is (almost) always better.

Moreover, it’s pretty fucking wicked to profit from the export of a critical resource like water. And yes, any agricultural exports are effectively exporting water.
Global food exports really need to go away. Local production needs to be the dominant mode.

Changing the fuel source and not radically changing the transit mode is akin to giving someone dying of fever an ice pack to put on their forehead.
Cars are the problem. EV, ICE, hydrogen — doesn’t matter. We need viable and widely used public transit, not “greener” cars.

If you understood what you were talking about, you wouldn’t comment. So far, I’ve seen entire web apps designed and built by ChatGPT, among a whole host of other insanely impressive things. Obviously it’s not a perfect system but far from useless as you’ve implied.
