Enjoyed your reference to your HVAC system. Our house we currently reside in had a Honeywell system that one could set different temperatures throughout the day, even had vacation timing. The only thing we never found out how to do was get the heat or air conditioning to come on when we needed it. We removed the fancy Honeywell and replaced with a very antiquated thermostat with one switch to flip from heat or cool. Dial in the temperature and it stays till you choose to change it. Simplicity works.
I remember back in the day, when America was semi-normal, and mentally ill people had hospitals and institutions to help them survive. Now those same mentally ill are living on the streets, creating crime and filth, and are elected by those same mentally ill, destroying our country and creating crime and filth.
AI may be the answer to our human lack of intelligence, as we will find out soon enough...
It’s such a nightmare Dorothy, caused by every elected official. It’s sad and horrifying how they run from real issues like autism, addiction, toxic foods, poison water, single mothers, open borders and the list goes on and on. Republicans/Democrats/ real evil scum running/destroying this once great nation. They along with our media put on a show, but it’s just entertainment to keep the sheep divided. Works so well…but even you sweet Dorothy must admit, you have never seen such a psychotic, anti- human, anti-American administration as our current psychopaths in office now🤔…but the show must go on…
Yes Dorothy, it seems to be an us against them game our politicians from both parties are playing. But as long as they keep the good people divided, they will continue to win. Reagan was also behind the massive inflow of illegals back in the 80s, but there is a long story behind the cause, and the numbers were minuscule compared to today. Trump?… An April 27 report on the labor market noted that combined, the $2.5 trillion in increased transfers of unemployment bonuses and stimulus checks and $466 billion in reduced revenues from lower employment—nearly $3 trillion total—amounts to an additional $22,800 in debt for every household in America…neither myself nor my family received a penny of those so called “benefits” we now owe 23k for 🤔 guess I’m a fool for voting for Trump. But honestly Dorothy, what choice did we have? How deeper would America be in this third world shithole if a Hillary was president? We will never know, but considering how close of friends the Clinton’s and Trumps were before the election, I’m pretty sure it would have been close to where we are now…it’s where they want us to be, where we belong for our own ignorance. Stay well and good luck sweet Dorothy 🙏
SL: Thanks again for your reply. I think there is enough blame to go around. Our current situation has been a long time coming. Much more pain to come for all of us. I wish you and your family well and that we all survive this nightmare.
My youngest son just graduated with an electrical engineering degree. He always said he wants big power generation. The navy is offering him over two hundred thousand dollars a year. I would be so proud if he did that. That said he's gonna work at a nuclear power plant. He's more lucrative offers but has decided that nuclear is the way to go and that's the career choice to make... Blah blah at least there are still people who work hard and aim hi.
There are also companies working on next generation fission reactors. The problem with those is still "waste." There's a lot of energy left over in the waste, but only France, to my knowledge, is recycling the "waste" material. Thorium powered nukes would make this moot, but no one I know of is working on this proven and efficient technology.
Or, he could work on the government sponsored National Ignition Facility. That's basically a welfare program for technical types. They will probably never produce anything, but your son will have a job for years.
I can’t wait for AI to relieve me of my critical thinking and cynicism. My thoughts will be preprogrammed by the govt thought police and I will have a perfect social credit score, I will own nothing, think nothing, and be happy!
I can’t wait for the WEF climate AI engine to depopulate the planet for me. Feed me to the matrix when it’s over.
Bill, simply the BEST, keep it coming Bill the joy of reading real words from a real sound mind is more than gratifying and essential than any of those temptations of our youth!
Love reading your installments. Thank you for taking the time to share your thought. Nice to read, exactly what I think about tech and world. Hope to get up to speed on the money part.
Is it a problem that Artificial Intelligence wins over human intelligence. Perhaps not. In some instances AI is the only intelligence present.
Students write essays by way of AI. Next thing you know our leaders will turn to AI in looking for ways to get re-elected. They will be hard pressed to beat their own intelligence. They mastered it so well that there is no intelligence that can be superior. There is always a chance that a new extra-terrestrial intelligence will visit our planet.
Pelosi, Schumer, Biden and a few others are suspects of sharing that intelligence.
For the people in the so called working class there is only one solution. They need to look down and try to find intelligence between their toes. Looking up is reserved for the elite. Such was the will of God.
Have you heard of the Prayer Breakfast for the elite designed to sell Jesus
I recall the head of Engineering at Boeing saying in 1988(I heard him say it) that in his opinion all that computer aided, digital design would accomplish was that it would “allow engineers to make mistakes at the speed of light”. I was one of the people in commercial aircraft operations that got to learn what he meant. I wonder what he would say, if he were still here, about ChatGPT?

SL: Unfortunately, Ronald Reagan opened the flood gates and they haven't been closed since. What a nightmare!

Hello Dorothy, I fully intend to.
My youngest son just graduated with an electrical engineering degree. He always said he wants big power generation. The navy is offering him over two hundred thousand dollars a year. I would be so proud if he did that. That said he's gonna work at a nuclear power plant. He's more lucrative offers but has decided that nuclear is the way to go and that's the career choice to make... Blah blah at least there are still people who work hard and aim hi.
Everybody stay safe!
Your son should look into fusion power. There are a couple of companies that I think are hiring:
https://www.zapenergy.com/
https://www.helionenergy.com
There are also companies working on next generation fission reactors. The problem with those is still "waste." There's a lot of energy left over in the waste, but only France, to my knowledge, is recycling the "waste" material. Thorium powered nukes would make this moot, but no one I know of is working on this proven and efficient technology.

Haha! You, too? Full disclosure: I never learned how to program a VCR. Somewhere in cyberspace, all my VCRs are still flashing "zero". Best always. PM

Painless dentistry ???? WHAT!
Right, my dentist must have missed that class in dental school.
