interesting concept: looking at the processes rather than individual taxa, and then overlaying to see whether new taxa had the same impact humans had on the flow chart. There is an assumption built in there though: That the taxa did not change their geophysical impact over time?

Flipside of this is unfortunately a 'Delphi' dating app. If Delphi AI scores you low risk you can have a profile on the App. Eugenics in a way...But definitely very useful for doctors doing preventative medicine. Every advance with AI is potentially amazing - with a dark side. Remember Gattaca?

Just knowing that someone owns a gun changes the way people interact. Its in the back of your mind the whole time: 'Better not offend this person in any way' - leading to overcensorship and non-sincere interactions.
