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...
I'm not fond of watching documentaries. Hence, I was somewhat reluctant to start watching Solar System, despite its very high IMDb rating of #8.9. I'm glad that I did. Professor Brian Cox (b.1968) is an excellent storyteller, including for a layman like me. One of his questions is still bugging me: Why did planet Earth move from geological activity (eg, volcanoes)...
In 2016, I published my blog: LUCA, our Last Universal Common Ancestor. A recent Aeon article stated that life "emerged far earlier, and far quicker, than we once thought possible". Current estimates: "LUCA lived between 4.09 and 4.33 billion years ago [..]." Earth's age is 4.54 billion years. What if LUCA will - once - be estimated as older than Earth ??...
In 2013, I crossed my own boundary. The result was a severe burnout and a subsequent depression that lasted for about 18 months. After my healing, I decided that jobs are among my new boundaries in life. I do not consider my (almost daily) writing as working, even despite its similarities. The Google AI Overview is quite clear: Crossing your own boundaries...
Intro LO: This recent SCMP article came as a surprise to me because this geopolitical angle was brand new. Is this perhaps an example of the ancient saying the blind leading the blind ?? This SCMP article also reveals that China is far weaker than anyone is assuming. Quite often, bullying and/or sacrificing an ally matches with the behaviour of a (true) Superpower,...
I have been wondering if my 7 Belief systems (eg, 2016 summary, 2019 update, 2023 update) each have an opposite. My 2021 blog stated: The opposite of love is indifference, not hate. My recent (Dutch) blog, Does everything have an opposite?, wondered about indifference as its opposite. Obviously, we could argue about these opposites: Love vs hate; Money vs debts,...
