I read “AI doom bubble” as one tag rather than three, and was amused by the specificity.

[andrewducker]

I feel sure there will be many more to come!

[channelpenguin]

Nope. Too much doom to read (and I'm not a gamer either).

See ya tomorrow!

Oh, for a world where I could avoid the doom more easily.

#2 SARS-CoV-2

Yup. I'm still masking everywhere around people. I saw nothing particularly "new" in that article (except maybe about shingles in China), since it's stuff we've known for a long while already. It's good to see it getting attention. If I was still in the office for work, I'd be arguing for better air filtration and circulation while wearing my mask daily.

Absolutely in the 'still masking everywhere' crowd!

My own 'guesstimate' for Covid pandemic danger is - basing it on the Spanish flu of 1918 - that we're going to be under threat from the pandemic until 2028. Of course, people during the Spanish flu travelled SO much less than we do now, so I may be over-optimistic.

the end of the so-called public health emergency in 2023.

Doesn't the author mean "the so-called end of the public health emergency in 2023".
