Oh I use AI all day as a programmer and I'm well aware of it's shortcomings. I can't wait for the day it can just write a whole module for me but that never works. It's great for like syntax questions or functionalities but I don't think I've included more than a simple function that was made soley by the AI without needing tweeking. That said.. I still think it's crazy we have to wait for hours on hold for simple things an AI could probably do instead of some clueless call center person who knows nothing anyway. I know it's not there yet but I really do want it to take all our mundane 9-5 jobs so we can just live. Maybe it's a pipe dream but I think with fusion energy and AI/robots *if we do it right* we really could live in abundance without having to justify our living on showing up someplace 40+hrs a week. I'm so jaded lol I work remote and I still hate that I have any responsibility I guess I see a wierd utopia where everyone sees a distopia.. I think it's going to come down to the implementation and execution but if we do it right..

Any kind of UBI, if we have no work, is going to be bare subsistence living.

The uber rich and the technocrats are quickly trying to return us to serfdom and they are doing it with absolutely lightning speed.

Don't need a Twin to play here.. I don't use my BRZEEEEE much but still participating here..

Have ordered a new motor, arrives early next year, will share details closer to the time.. Rest assured the Blue car is here to stay. My wife is really fond of it even though she hasn't driven it in the 11years I've had it! Oh, she still doesn't know the make/model, its called "the blue car"..

The only purpose of money is to force people to work.. If they don't need us to work why would we need money?

How do people retain professional level jobs when they are unable to use simple functions in Microsoft Outlook?

1. Get access to the Calendar of everyone needed to attend.
2. Look for a time when everyone, or most are available, using the schedule meeting function.
3. Send an email with a SPECIFIC outline of what needs to be discussed/resolved with a Zoom link and date/time.
4. For anyone not available, ask if they can move other meetings or accommodate information in some other way. Whether that means providing information before hand, or listening/watching a recording of the meeting and answering any questions after.


I thought this was all entry-level knowledge stuff?

The above works great if organising a meet within your own organisation but gets complicated when dealing with persons outside of the company. And then the use MS via Google or other platforms..

Oh, well..

Emails are here to stay... need to retire... day off today, its going to be a very hot day.. not going to think about emails..

I really wanted to keep mine but honestly it didn't make much sense. I didn't really have a place to park it and with 230k miles and two accidents it was a new set of tires away from having no value.
