Knowledge graph is more of an expert system in terms of how it i updated and it's data sources. There isn't much magic there, so I doubt bard could get much from it if it's capable of being trained on unstructured web content

Blockchain has harmed the world. Ransomware, numerous scams, greenhouse gases... Before all of those harms, very few people had much to say about Blockchain outside of utopian visions. AI has yet to cause harm. If/when it does, I

I welcome people being more aware of their own cultural, geographic, economic, and preferential biases. If only everyone saw their unrecorded and unreviewed experiences for the anecdotes they are... what a world that would be.

Sounds like giving up 30-40% of your prime living years to live an extra 20% at the tail end. If you're hobby is trying to live forever, then sounds pretty neat, but if you'd rather do other things, not so much.
