I'm pretty sure the person who you are responding to already knows and does not need your documentation. But most 'programmers' are just Python programmers and not real programmers.

AI has existed for decades. The average person has just discovered it / had it forced upon them. And just a small-subset of AI. The average person does not use real AI. And AI is not even well-defined. Education is more about indoctrin

> But if you imagine a sci-fi world where machines can build and do everything humans can do, the concept of a human-centric economy would be pointless. This is the premise of the Star Trek TOS episode with Harry Mudd "I, Mudd"

> I love computers too, but it doesn't resonate with me when people call AI "snake oil." Not to worry, a fool and his money will soon be parted. I think the main problem is that there is no definition for "AI". A

Because the LLM version will have countless number of bugs and security holes, which means you will spend weeks or months of your life fixing them.

Personally I'm not anti-AI, I'm anti-Stupid. I also don't consider LLM's to be AI. I put it in the same category as PageRank.

I am much older but I consider Ivy Bridge and the iPhone 4S to be the best. So that's around 2012. I also think the 11 inch MacBook Air was the best laptop, but there is no equivalent nowadays because Apple wants you to buy an iPad+key

UBI is intended to replace Pension Funds, which are collapsing because they were forced to invest in government bonds. ECB had negative interest rates for a long time, and pensions need 8% to survive. There is an imminent sovereign debt cri
