2. "Workers in the most exposed professions are more likely to be older, female, more educated, and higher-paid"
* is this demographic relatively well placed to adapt?
* could we build a more continuous measure of tasks (e.g. in latent space rather than O*NET), and transition matrices between them?
Overall, a bit of a hacky feel (e.g. rough discretisation in beta, fudge factors in alpha), but the best shot I've seen so far.

Key findings:
1. "Occupations with higher observed exposure are projected by the BLS to grow less" (p.2)
* "for every 10% increase in coverage, the BLS's growth projection drops by 0.6%" (p.9);
* @aaronsojourner.org thoughts on how BLS growth projections work, how well they might take into account 'AI' impact?

"As recently as 2014, Texas Republicans were advocating a guest-worker program, compassion for immigrants, and for a general kind of traditional American pluralism in what was becoming a very diverse and complex state. That’s all gone. The governor can’t post a picture of a Diwali celebration without getting screamed at for weeks on social media by guys with really big hats."

"Researchers learned this the hard way. They gave quartz, calcite and other types of crystals to #chimpanzees in a rehabilitation center. The apes responded with great interest, and the researchers ended up needing to trade large amounts of bananas and yogurt to get back the largest #crystal. Others were never retrieved."

Which of the following statements are true?
(a) the space for adversarial attacks grows in the dimension of the system.

(d) Seeger over Hegseth
