AI Thread Summary
To upgrade to version 10.5 from 10.4.11, a new purchase of 10.5 is required, as updates from 10.4.x to 10.5 involve a major version change. Minor updates, indicated by changes in the third component of the version number, can be downloaded for free. For Intel Mac users, it is advisable to hold off on purchasing 10.5 unless an urgent upgrade is necessary, as version 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") is expected to be announced soon and will offer improved efficiency for Intel Macs.

Thanks.

Suggestion: If you have an Intel Mac, don't buy 10.5 now unless you really need to upgrade in a hurry. There are rumors that 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") will be announced at MacWorld next week and will be available in the next couple of months. It's being designed to be significantly more efficient on Intel Macs.

I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South.
