Right now AI is at the Starbucks coffee quality level. It's not drinkable, but tens of millions slurp it up. It's absolutely good enough for lots of applications. People don't care about quality as much as you think they care about it (look at how ppl dress & how they live.)

Currently reading a 133-page report about the LA wildfire-ignited urban conflagrations written by this company and going "WTF do these guys actually do?"
Anyone in the socal area: Hey friends — I wanted to share something we’ve started at Calico Fish House called Sharing the Table. Every Monday from 4–8 PM, we’re offering scratch-made family meals for FREE for anyone in the community who could use a financial hand with dinner -…
You'd think but you'd be very wrong.
Qualified blue-collar tradespeople don't have a landscaper, an electrician & a plumber. They install their own garage shelving & do their own stonework.
AI will make it so that the white collars can't afford to hire tradespeople.

On the other hand, if people want to continue moving to where almost all of the housing growth is - to the wildland-urban interface - and expect public services to save them, we need about 7x-10x more fire trucks & firefighters than we have now
The trucks need huge water tanks.

Doing stuff like this sounds fun bc it's emotional & gets engagement but:
The next time there's a fire, the civil servants in charge of dolling out funds will not allocate any money. They'll be scared, like the bldg permit people are now. It'll take forever to get people help.

Because almost no one mitigates for wildfires, this was one of the first times that surge pricing became commonly accepted in wildfire response.

I’ve been a wildfire scientist for 23 years, in academia (Florida State U), government labs (Los Alamos Natl Lab), and most recently in private industry modeling wildfire risk.
But today, @firechiefanf followed me here, and now I feel validated as a legitimate wildfire guy 🤩
For all of you students of wildfire, out there, Cal Fire has a great new mapping website that allows you to explore the fire history of the California. Really nicely designed, and easy to use. California has so much fire history that it's kind of difficult to make the data…
