Part of the excitement to me is when tech simply becomes part of the zeitgeist. It can be simultaneously true that there's nothing new under the sun and that simply getting the knowledge of some useful tech out to the broader population helps everyone by getting many more productive minds involved in improving the processes.

Everything's been trending down so far, so until evidence shows otherwise, I'd assume it will continue that trend. IMO the best time to buy local infra will be when that trend begins to asymptote.
Re:Mental Health Workers Say Algorithmic Triage Is Hurting Patients

This change has coincided with a sharp increase in the number of patients who are upset by the time they speak to her. On a typical day, as many as a third of her almost two dozen triage calls are with patients who have struggled to access appropriate care.
This seems like it's working, actually. Similar to automated Amazon warehouses experiencing a seemingly paradoxical increase in injury rates compared to non-automated ones.....it's very possible this is simply selection bias and the patient triage overall is improved greatly.

I wonder if escalating to Opus or Fable would change the behavior for the larger system level issues. I see the mention of starting with Opus, but now that the project is further along, perhaps a chance to take a second look.

In addition to the minimum wage they get paid, it's also the minimum (negative) value they add. There's zero reason to do better at a job that already is a waste of almost everyone's time.

I just bought a month of GO two days ago, I feel you. However, given access to both Flash and Luna there, probably still worth the $10 a month. I've been very happy with Flash's ability to implement a detailed, focused plan from Sol/Opus.

That I acknowledge there are great minds on both sides of the debate means that I wouldn't treat it as a hard fact when talking about it in an online forum, which was the explicit point of my response.

Aerosol injection is only a reasonable solution if you believe that temperature increase is the only drawback of additional CO2 in the atmosphere.
The oceans will continue to soak it all up as we inject temp-balancing aerosols.

This is a chicken and egg scenario. Before we had cars, people got to work fine. Now we're OK with killing 40,000 people a year and injuring many more so that people can "get to work".
