robot plumbers?

My opening lesson as a toiletologist. Pasting in below a link to a conversation between Ross Douthat (NYT) and Daniel Kokotajlo, former Open AI employee.

Dan is pessimistic, he reputedly places the probability that A.I. will decimate humanity at 70 percent. Eek! Same as the chance your toilet will misbehave.

Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.) I am on the road to understanding black and white photography.
