Some of us need repetition to fully incorporate new ideas into our mental structures. Until that is done we can't really use the information effectively. So, please don't worry about restating information in a new style. I am a full subscriber because of your willingness and ability to do that. You save me a lot of time. Keep it up!

Agreed; also, negativity and distopian sentiment are so pervasive in mainstream discourse, that it's important to have pieces like this to act as a counterpoint. Most people I know seem to expect AI to make their lives *worse*, if they acknowledge it at at all as something more than a fad. I try to keep a level head about things, but the human herd mentality is strong.

Btw, Job Simulator is far less distopian than it sounds - the game takes place in a post-scarcity world, where extremely simplified renditions of early-21st century jobs are presented by AIs for curious humans. Quite a hopeful game, if you think about it!

The paradox is Sam for me is replaceable by AI at a cheaper price.
