What about non-customers who post negative things?

"Judgement" is the #1 thing missing from AI if you ask me.

You give AI an input, and then an output is created...a very coherent and deep output in fect...but, there is very little understanding of alternatives or downstream implications in my experience.

I think its a very good text/image generator on any subject. But I am not finding much in the way of understanding tradeoffs or downstream implications in a non-pro's and con's list. It's like a human that has a particular type of brain damage...they can make an infinite pro/con list, but not reasonable decision is reliably made.

There's a South Park episode about collecting underpants for profit. The episode goes - okay it's a 3 step plan.

Step 1: Collect underpants Step 2: ????? Step 3: Proft!

So he's joking that these guys have figured out the step 2 finally, so the gnomes can profit from collecting underpants.

In addition to climate change effects, do you think that preventing wildfires for decades contributes at all? My understanding is that managed burns can be useful at preventing the worst fire fires.

The fact that some trees only germinate in the presence of wildfires points to wildfires being a very natural and pre-human thing. And recent wildfire management practices are likely a strong factor in recent wildfires.

I think the wealth should be age adjusted for inflation. Older people have had much more compounding than younger folds, much more time to save and earn, etc. Just doing it by raw percentages is a bit too raw.
