I was thinking the same. Maybe there will be a "Real or AI" game once it's impossible to tell the difference from quality alone.

Wow. I thought it was AI at first, something very surreal about it

The link covers all that. And has the OP graph further down.

The conclusion made in the article is that medical debt is the cause of bad credit, and areas where Governers didn't expand Medicaid are particularly bad.

Ah I don't think that's true, Mandelbrot created the first one experimenting with recursion whole working at IBM. It proved very useful in mapping complex objects that seemed like they had no mathematical basis later?

I would have sworn that was from a fractal generator, incredible how often fractals show up in nature

Exporting coal. Mother fucker

Yeah I can't see how, with current technology, hydrogen will ever be something we would seek to expand current usage.

But who knows. Maybe some metamaterials will make production, storage and transport easier.

I'm always interested in the technology that replicates photosynthesis - basically using quantum mechanics principles to split water. That could potentially change the equation on production if that process continues to improve.

Reading that, it seems like it has a future, once we already have a surplus of energy to create it outside of the fossil fuel industry.

It does seem a bit pessimistic to write it off, just because we currently struggle with production and storage. Will be an interesting space to watch.
