* To determine whether AI is ‘improving exponentially’, ‘hitting the wall’, or any other claim which involves a quantity or magnitude (e.g. ‘This model was a big leap/small increment’). We need a good y-axis: an interval scale of AI capability which means +1 unit always represents the same degree of ‘how much better’, in the same way +1 degree Celsius is always the same amount of ‘how much hotter’.
* Yet there is no good y-axis for AI capability. All our...
You could probably post a half-dozen beer-sheds encircling a village, and each batch of brew is moved on a dolly to a spot somewhat further from the village-center, such that you steadily enlarge a de-mosquitoed zone.

Instead, brewing beer (or fruit wine into vinegar) generates a revenue from inputs, WHILE eliminating malaria. This is also categorically better than Bed Nets, because those only protect you in BED; the mosquitoes are still flying around everywhere!
