It's just not making the news much.
Relocate or quit.

It's a shit show. I don't work there but know someone that does (until pension benefit date if they can make it).
Damn, he already covered that in some manner... Thanks for that.
RIP Mr. Carlin.
What if I wish to ONLY be represented, now, and in perpetuity, by ACTUAL images, writings, and recordings (recorded / created by myself or other parties).
What if I do not want any representation of MY PERSON in an AI fashion?
Live action representations are a different story and have an existing legal framework. And can be very respectful, see Val Kilmer being Mark Twain as an exemplary example of this.
I believe Carlin would have chosen to not have AI representations of himself. But he can't make that decision.
Quality of the content is probably also a factor.......
Here's a lighthearted take on it (if that's possible), with Danny Devito.
"Dupont: We're already in you!"
Yes, it's called Autogen. You setup different personas and let them discuss things, with or without one or more humans also involved.
It's open source. Imagine setting up personas for a team, say a web designer, project owner, and a marketing type. Give them an idea and they will pass it around from their particular point of expertise (and they maintain individual memory or state).
It's nothing that's production ready, but it's very interesting.
Matthey Berman on YouTube covers it extensively.

"changing perceptions" through marketing? that sounds like an arms race with the other side. Long time ago we thought the right way to change perceptions was through good education and development of critical thinking skills.
Where did it all go wrong
:)
It all went wrong when each sides of the discussion concluded that scientific papers supporting the other side were marketing fake-news, trying to gaslight them into supporting a scam to let the opposing side acquire money and/or power, rather than actual science.
Warmists think evidence against any aspect of their side's story is akin to smoking research sponsored by tobacco companies. Skeptics think any evidence for a global warming story has been corrupted, ala early drug war research on psychedelic drugs, to feed government power grabs and attempts to put rent-seeking taxes on commerce (e.g. Gore's carbon-credit exchange).
Now neither side believes academic papers on the subject. We'll just have to wait and see what the climate does.
Following this paper's prescription, of course, would just put the nail in the coffin on any remaining hope of convincing the population to pay attention to the sort of propaganda it prescribes. (Assuming the very existence of the paper hasn't already done that.)
The overshoot hasn't caused failure due to functional limits, yet.
Water will fail first, it already is. Read up on aquafiers, at least snowfall can replenish annually (if it falls in the right places).
https://www.wri.org/insights/n...
Aqufiers will fail. Subsidence is when the land sinks from water (or oil) extracted from aqufiers. The California's Central Valley has sunk about 28 feet since the 1920s. I'm sure that's sustainable...

In other news, 2-3 billion people experience water shortages:

(this is the current minimum overshoot in my opinion)
Food:
Worst food crisis since 2007, about 200 million face food ermegency or famine globally.

Political Problems: I won't even get into that.
What's the result of this? Migration.
There will be a lot of untracked migration and a ton of migrant deaths. Locals will resort to violence.
The bloody edge of all of this will be far away from the "first world" countries, where our politians are forced to promote endless growth because the other person will.
That bloody edge is called "global population control". We keep that out of sight, and wind turbines, I don't want to see that either!...
Flight time is about 20 years. (Proxima is about 4 light years away and the swarm is averaging about 1/5th lightspeed.) I suspect even some of us boomers can hang in here that long - even if life-extension treatments don't become available.
Oops. Maybe not. They're talking about 75 years before getting around to a launch.
I'll be surprised if the project stays funded, since even without delays everyone funding it will die before there's any payoff.

Also, I wonder what it will cost to fund the laser for half a century.
The launch and acceleration of the whole swarm is over in about a year. Individual elements are up to speed in much less than that.
(You HAVE to do it fast: Once they're moving they're out of range darned quick, so you have to get them to cruising speed before you can't hit them any more. Fortunately the little motes are really sturdy so you can give them a BIG big push.)
Read The Paper.
You cannot aim sufficient energy over distances like that
[description of betavoltaic battery run off "interstellar wind" of high-speed travel]
Oh, yes...
You CAN aim the propulsion energy well enough for long enough to get them up to 20%ish of lightspeed. After that the energy is stored in their momentum relative to that of the interstellar gas. You don't have to keep powering them from home and there's far more than you need to power them for the rest of the mission.
(I happen to know one of the people involved.)
You cannot aim sufficient energy over distances like that
They were originally intended to be powered by betavoltaic batteries (solar cell sandwich with a charged particle emitter for the peanut butter - like the "radioactive diamond" batteries but with Strontium 90 for the radiation source). But another dude computed what local interstellar hydrogen looked like when treated as a proton/electron beam at 20% of light speed and concluded no other radiation source would be necessary - by a long shot. Just launch with the supercaps charged and you're up to power-generation speed long before they're discharged. You only harvest a fraction of that energy - the "solar cells" are far to thin to stop many of the protons but they make lots of electron-hole pairs on the way through - and you use heavy atoms (much charge per atom) in their semiconductor structure to maximize that. That gives you plenty of power to run the computer, sensors, and attitude control. Also the transmitters to phone home, with several watts total over the surviving portion of the swarm.
and you can't slow these gram-weight "robots" down with this propulsion system.
Sure you can. That not-quite-relativistic hydrogen wind through the radiation battery gives you enough friction, when combined with attitude adjustments, to bring the swarm into proper formation and all traveling at the same speed by the time it reaches the target. (You launch it over a considerable period, with the later ones faster than the earlier ones so they all arrive at the same time.) It's slowed a bit by encounter time, but not by very much. So it has to look fast as it flies by.
This is the graph that causes me fear:

The ocean is where all of the excess heat ends up. It really heated up last year, and didn't let up.
Needs lots of tending, making sure cases are correct and that only the "correct" terms are used in their new language.
Can't have any badly spelled graffiti on the wall.
Absolute control of narrative.
There's a lot of opportunity in passthrough, in my opinion. Specially around allowing for larger spaces.
Here's a video where all of the objects created are relative to the floor and where you are located (the grass only grows where the headset goes).

The concept was for controllerless interaction, with various worlds (before stopping on the project I had fire and ice worlds along with the nature one).
No market for it. And AI came along and that's far more interesting (and financially viable).
There's another video beside that one that goes over the mechanics I was using.
But for time.
I migrated and switched all passwords (PITA, not the Greek variant) after the data breach.
