The BBC article (below) omits mentioning that Time is a human invention that - at least - originated in the Sumerian civilisation. Humans have a habit of making mistakes.

An example of my blog title is the 1984 film The Terminator, rated at #8.1 on IMDb. Today, the main item that is still missing is: time travel. The arrow of time appears to be...
Intro LO: In my view, we are (indeed) in an AI bubble. This highly interesting Atlantic article (below) explores its three bubble-related scenarios in paragraphs 19 to 21: "An AI crash could lead broadly to less spending, fewer jobs, and slower growth, potentially dragging the economy into a recession." (#19); "the silver lining would be that fears of sudden...
