Example of the Jevons paradox— efficiency leads to more use of a resource, not less - cheap urban light is now a pollutant. Some, like MS's Satya Nadella worry that as "AI gets more efficient and accessible, we will see its use skyrocket, turning it into a commodity we just can’t get enough of.”

It may escape general notice but I think our politics has just slipped from the classical world into the quantum uncertain world with the new formulation of semi-fired. Of course there may be some associated use of this, such as semi-peaceful solution, semi-sovereignty and semi-friends.

An AI said '"Semi-fired" is not a standard employment term,it's deliberately vague & intimidating.boss is likely using it to:Create anxiety and urgency: The ambiguity of "semi-fired" is designed to make you nervous & compliant imply a serious consequence w/o outright termination: job is in jeopardy"
