Great idea! I too forget the many switches that the 'find' command can use. Anything that teaches and helps one understand the core concepts of any subject is always a good idea. I'm just not a fan of creating an account and password. I have way, too, many of those. Good luck :)
That's excellent article. I also don't believe AI is the issue, but rather those that are at the helm of most of these companies.
In my view, AI Companies like other tech companies of the past have no interest in serving society. So, you have a point when you said, "They don’t actually care about what their products may do to society—they just want to be sure they win the AI race, damn the consequences." It's all about money, and those at the top that have the money, have nothing to lose. I'd rather see AI being put to better use, curing cancer, other diseases. I think your scenario where, "Their Super-AGI will write the UBI law, and get it passed, when it has a few minutes between curing cancer and building a warp drive," is very likely now.
Interesting project. Here's a thought which I've always had in the back of my mind, ever since I saw something similar in an episode of Buck Rogers (70s-80s)! Many people struggle with falling asleep due to persistent beta waves; natural theta predominance is needed but often delayed. Imagine an "INEXPENSIVE" smart sleep mask that facilitates sleep onset by inducing brain wave transitions from beta (wakeful, high-frequency) to alpha (8-13 Hz, relaxed) and then theta (4-8 Hz, stage 1 light sleep) via non-invasive stimulation. A solution could be a comfortable eye mask with integrated headphones (unintrusive) and EEG sensors.
It could use binaural beats or similar audio stimulation to "inject" alpha/theta frequencies externally, guiding the brain to a tipping point for abrupt sleep onset. Sensors would detect current waves; app-controlled audio ramps from alpha-inducing beats to theta, ensuring natural predominance. If it could be designed, it could accelerate sleep transition, improve quality, non-pharmacological.
Yeah, I'm sure that technology has existed for decades. Common folks just not allowed to know about it. It's "for our own good!" sarcastically speaking :(
It would help the discussion if more historical context can be provided about the island, economy, history, business partners, before forming an opinion since most opinions tend to be a little biased:

Agreed! I really liked Ken Liu's translation of T3BP.
I don't speak any Chinese or Asian-based lingo for
that matter, but am a fan of the culture and rich
history. Some of us that don't know the lingo, have
issues with reading subtitled movies, for example,
can only enjoy the art via audio dubbing. Godzilla
Minus 1 comes to mind, as a good example of a movie
that generated some controversy when translated and
people claimed that it lost something in the translation.
I'm sure they were right, but I thoroughly enjoyed it
and was glad when it was dubbed into other languages.
