> A major problem in our society is that '72-year-old' is in the headline. I turn 71 next month, and I am grateful that the congressman's age is mentioned in the headline. I think it's awesome! As someone who also works in "AI" (the scare quotes are deliberate, as the specific work I do is more about keeping our code easy to maintain and well tested and reliable, and dealing with the outside systems we work with), I am glad that I am not the only "older" person working in the field. I'm not saying this to disagree with you, but to agree. It should be the norm that people the age of Congressman Beyer and myself can contribute, just like anyone else.
