I can talk forever, if you want to.
Believe me, we've all noticed. Do you know when to stop?

come on Colin, it was a joke! I'm trying to make friends with Richard. We obviously have differing viewpoints and seeing eye to eye on at least some things is what good foundations are built on. The political world is doing the opposite and tearing down the system in the process. Which side do you want to be on? Why wouldn't you agree with that?Believe me, we've all noticed. Do you know when to stop?
Do you care about them? Are you interested in helping them learn and grow?

Your last post makes it seem like you welcome the fact that the "underground" or "illegitimate" people of the world are going to use it to damage economic growth potential and eliminate employment opportunities for young people.
no argument I spose.Perhaps you would prefer that I use the OTHER term often used for AI? "Knowledge-based" systems? That is a form of directed AI and is as legit as anything else in the modern computer world.
not after I die i can't. but I won't have to talk at that point, because we join the father and become part of perfection so we don't need a voice at that point anymore anyway.You probably CANNOT talk forever.
haven't I already hammered this point into the ground already!? You confused the hell out of me with your prior words, now this seems like you've done a complete about-face. But regardless, yes now we apparently agree the right way.AI used properly can promote business growth. Used improperly can damage it. AI, like a hammer, like a power drill, like a gun, like anything other tool or physical object you could name, is TOTALLY NEUTRAL. It is what you do with it that makes a difference.
Not really. I think I understand you quite well on a lot of fronts, but probably not all. This reality you've just pointed out is *exactly* the reason that I will tell my employees and my customers, if I ever run my own tech business, what you've said here and tell them that if they cannot communicate with each other in 1 situation, to try someone else. This is just a smart way to do things, because there's so much information floating around the world in this day in age, basically no one knows what's going on, and if they claim to they're more or less living in a fantasy world. The exception to this rule would by my recent conversations with goDaddy agents at all levels of their organization. Almost everybody I talked to (like 8 out of 10 people) proved their incompetence in their own supposed "disciplines" by not being able to communciate like human beings in simple english and/or not understanding at all what goes on "behind the scenes" when they perform a service for a customer that really does "a, b, c", but was advertised and promised to do "x, y, z". I dumped them immediately and went with a rather smaller competitor that immediately proved their competence to me in just 20 minutes. it only took the words of 1 22-year old agent too! I'm perfectly happy with them, for now.It seems you are so seriously off in your own direction that you don't catch my drift sometimes, but then again, human communication IS often imperfect.
that's not always true Richard! You never know if an idea will turn into "something great". It's basically a crapshoot for anyone, but I will admit that some of the bigger influencers in the world have a better chance at getting rich than young kids who are unrecognized and considered "nobodies". Like me!"First, figure out what you really like doing - then figure out how to make money at it. You'll never be filthy rich but you'll always be happy."
no argument. According to Mark Cuban, in the near future, and as AI gets more sophisticated, software engineers working for the big players will be transformed into philosophers when the software begins to write itself (which is already happening anyway).It means learning TWO languages - that of the customer and that of the machine. But those who can do it can always find work. And those who have communications problems with either the customer or the computer are in the wrong line of work if that is what you chose.
I'm not sure I'm following you on this one Grandpa. Are you referring to this issue? Learning how to make myself obsolete HELPS me!? I think we've already covered this earlier when we were talking about the "good vs. bad" manager and what their motivations are (employing their people or using AI to replace them).Closing the loop leads you to the ultimate paradox... learning how to make yourself obsolete makes you MORE valuable to an employer who almost certainly has more than one loop to close.
I would say I'm an expert in this area as well. Now whether I would've challenged you and your skills back in your prime remains debatable I would say. Actually, I'm currently in the process of updating my gitHub repos to show a large amount of content directly related to solving problems of varying degrees. This is exactly what I was referring to in the other thread today when I said I recently gained a knack for writing effective letters that turns the heads of employers and makes them think twice about not wanting to talk to me. What I have found lately, is that employers seem to want to drool over someone that has the ability to make them feel good about themselves, give them confidence in what they're doing, and mentioning that this type of confidence can transfer directly to their customers and in turn result in their customer growing their own business and coming back to them for problem-solving services. I've been writing such letters for 2 weeks now and it has not failed once. I have sent out 5 letters of this type, and I've gotten 5 interviews, all of which are still pending. So if you have more to say here, then go for it. Otherwise, why don't we call it a day on this one, perform a TLS handshake, and head on over to the next thread where we can continue to entertain the membership pool and guest pool in this nice little community of ours. Cool?I was ALWAYS on the "desirable" list because I was a problem solver.

that was not the intention Richard. Hopefully you now realize that. I rarely fight or compare myself to anyone. That's been done to death by the politicians of the world. And like I've said, i wouldn't touch that stupid environment with a 10-foot pole! I think we're probably finished in this one....And there we have it - you see it as a competition with another person.
I don't want to even be associated with people who can't see the light heartedness
