AI companies would have a much easier time convincing skeptics if they offered one single positive use case. Like "AI cures leukemia." Or "AI cures herpes." Or "AI speeds road construction projects by 70%." Or "AI reduces income tax by half."

Vaccines are a great idea! Everyone should be getting Covid boosters at least twice a year (because protection wanes after about 3-4 months). But if you are next to hacking person at work, on public transportation, or at school, and you are actively breathing in a ton of Covid, it’s not magic.

This is genuinely disinformation. Vaccines are great are reducing severity, they do not greatly reduce your risk of getting sick, and even that effect wanes within a few months. Masking with n95s or kn95s and cleaning the air are the best protections against getting sick.

This will be an exceptional level of humid heat for coastal Southern CA, even relative to very humid periods earlier this summer. While high-quality long-term humidity records are hard to come by, this will likely bring some of the most miserably humid air on record to SoCal.
