- Go to A BC Special…Part II
I read your part the day you posted, but didn't have time to devour the rest, and then I forgot about it. But I am here today and find this quite fascinating.

An extremely enlightening and informative post, but potentially disturbing. Well, forget potentially...it is disturbing. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, no doubt. Thank you.

It used to be an extreme idea that one could see the party at
the other end of the phone line, the stuff of sci fi. I don't think - except for the exception of the Dick Tracy wrist radio - anyone seriously thought we could actually do that while "disconnected" and walking around in the world while face-to-face talking at long distances. AI was kind of a nightmare possibility. (Maybe it still is.)

I did not realize how big of a concern this was in Japan. Things are changing quite rapidly.
I know some people rumble about placing the home umpire in baseball with a computer to call balls and strikes.
