@scott_squires I get you probably have been convinced of this, but how would you explain 50,000 weekly deaths in 2020-21 vs. a few dozen today? Combo of vaccines, milder strains and better treatment.
@scott_squires It’s very sad, and those influencers who know better but continue to take advantage of anxious or vulnerable people for profit and relevanace are gross.
@scott_squires Just like I do those who get sucked down into anti-vax or other conspiratorial rabbit holes that consume them and isolate them from friends, family, and enjoying life.
@SlenderSkeptic This is the greatest time to be alive in human history. Less hunger, less death, less war, fewer deaths from natural disasters, incredible medical advances, etc.
@SlenderSkeptic There have always been doomers and they’ve overwhelmingly been wrong time and time again. This discussion reminds me of all the population bomb doomers of a generation ago, who were all shown to be wildly wrong about everything.
@kittygang_4ever@broadwaybabyto It does in seconds what used to take paralegals weeks. It is increasingly able to perform associate-level drafting of motions and even portions of memoranda. And clients understand this and are increasingly expecting it to be integrated into how law firms service their clients.
@kittygang_4ever@broadwaybabyto Lawyer here too, every significant law firm in the country (including mine) is integrating AI and clients are growingly demanding its use. Can it be misused by the lazy? Certainly. Can it be used wisely and increase efficiency? 100%.
@SlenderSkeptic@broadwaybabyto We produce more food today than at any other time in human history. There is less hunger today than at any other time in human history. And next year will be the same.
@broadwaybabyto@GMP1isReal@Jessica_Jans4 We also pay significantly lower taxes. Trade-offs, I’m good with them, which is a good thing since I live here. You are evidently not OK with them, which is also a good thing since you don’t live here.
