From an upcoming article of mine. Pop culture is obsessed with Kurzweil's Singularity, where AI becomes supersmart and dominates humanity. What is likely to come sooner is Klein's Second Singularity where we are forced to submit to AI slop because using it is making humans dumber.

Well of course this brings us to the Japanese concept of kaizen - the asymptotic approximation of perfection through small incremental gains over time.

From her picture in the public domain, she did not look like someone with a short TMD. The anaesthetist knew about the fused C2/C3 and assessed 'neck movements slightly restricted'. None of this triggered concerns on his part. And dare I say, don't think it would have in most of us. Should it have?

...this, on p7.
Anaesthesia was induced at 0835, which means that in less than 2 minutes, her sats were already 75%. This suggests strongly that she had not been preoxygenated. Given her size and fitness had she had preO2 her sats should have stayed >90% for at least 3 min (and as much as 7).
