CEO survival, fire or be fired. Gets even worse in many countries governments, kill or be killed. Law of the jungle. Another related looming issue is anti competitiveness. Over reliance on one option. EU waking up to the tech borgs but so far have made modest dents in some practices. People with skills should be transferable but can get overly specialized and obsolete. A flood of MS skills at once is tough for markets to absorb. Auto industry experiencing similar. Need to find something else to make.

Next up since limited audio released there are questions on whether this was intentional or other. Video footage would help so how about installing. A bit late but for next time and to calm folks who need to fly.

China is trying since coal is suffocating themselves and see some economic benefits to diversify their energy with lower carbon options such as nuclear, hydro, solar etc still they need energy and coal is available.

The singularity coming soon Masayoshi Son. Biased predictions with very broad assumptions not so useful. AI should help automate tasks but wide sweeping guesstimates are just self serving hype. AI has enormous investment costs so will need to pay to use and over reliance could be risky. For AI I am moderately optimistic humans can co exist at least in my working lifetime. Work will be different. Lister and Rimmer had to manage skudders, machine maintenance. Kryten was a useful companion.
