I get that with time we as a species become more informed - be that science or humanitarian. 105 years ago we figured out that space is not static. About 39 years ago the last country (supposedly) officially abandoned slavery, generally considered inhumane and wrong under our collective set of norms and values. 25 years ago we discovered the first exoplanet. 107 years ago we discovered the ozone layer, which we started to destroy (unknowingly) about 130 years ago when we starting pumping CFC's into the atmosphere. Only 44 years ago we realised we did something naughty, potentially killing us all, and started implementing measures to ban the use of CFCs which leads us to today, when most evidence suggests the ozone layer is healing. Same goes for asbestos, lead, mercury, radioactive materials and so on.

However, these days, "In the year 2020 when men are still alive" (yeah that is misquoted), we now have to perform complex symmetry rotations and transformations to a lot of what we used to believe was common knowledge:

So I had an issue with my recent medication refill request whereby I did not receive any notifications after filling out my online request. They sent me a satisfaction survey after I eventually picked up my prescription, which I decided to complete in order to raise my frustration, only to be met with this nice error:

For years I have been at the mercy of whatever audio and video hardware happened to be available in the system I have been running at the time. When I worked on my laptop a lot, I would use the built in mic and the webcam in the display for video calls. Later I decided to use a headset with attached mic which improved the quality a bit, at least as far as audio is concerned.

For the past two decades I have been working remotely, which implies a lot of online audio and video calls. COVID-19 did not help. So I decided I needed an upgrade - especially considering I did not even have a webcam on my Mac Pro (I do have one on my laptop but it is not convenient to switch computers when being called online).

I was just looking for a small electronic part when I found this web site:

https://www.wellpcb.com/white-pcb.html

I started reading it but my uncanny valley alarm bells went off. I am 99% sure this has been written by an AI bot... The whole article is completely pointless. I foresee many more such websites popping up and one day we will not know whether a human wrote content or an AI - this will be very scary when it comes to issues of humanity or news.
