Riddle me this tho: is it ever possible for an ai to not plagiarize? Everything they write has to come from something they've seen in their database.

I suppose the same could ve said for humans, but idk what counts in that regard

I think in this climate you should also consider job security. Od course noone can predict the future, but you can investigate how the companies are doing financially. If one is overleveraged, has high debt etc.

I say this, because it has been a big part of my own consideration, having just been hired by a big company with a growing stock, market cap, and low debt. My work requires a long commute that I really could go without, but it's such a solid position that idk if I dare take a hypothetical offer from a different company

Do we now need to do this every year or have measures been out in place that should actually enable this level of population increase to be maintained on its own?

I understand we've gotten better at protecting especially turtles but also a lot of other endangered animals, just asking if this is a knee jerk reaction to avoid their extinction or just to rush the process of getting the population back to what it would eventually become given enough time with the new protection mechanisms
