minus-squaresilence7@slrpnk.netOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·4 months agoNot sooner so much as more likely. We’re into the 40% to 50% range now
minus-squaregrue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·4 months agoIt’s kinda the same thing. The curve of probability over time is shifting closer to the present (faster than we approach it through the normal passage of time).
