Adding comments, suggestions, ideas, insights just adds to the chatter. All my life, hard work was supposed to “prepare for anything that might happen” – from World War II, my parents generation. There are armed conflicts in many countries now. Rather chaotic. I feel helpless to do anything about it. Maybe AIs will help me fill my remaining years. I hate sorting through boasting, update notices, controversies, bad packaging, and horrible gaps in customer service. I don’t have decades to wait. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Maybe I can finish a low cost gravitational imaging array, write a book, “Gravitational Engineering with AI”, and put some content on “<\/span>http:\/\/SystemicIssues.Org<\/span>” (nothing there now).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Best wishes to everyone, put your AIs to work, feed the hungry, prevent war, map the Internet so AIs can help humans actually find things, not push ads. Maybe I can try to write some Systemic Issues and work on the UN sites a bit.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

X never once helped me the way I wanted, on the things I feel matter the most. Perhaps it is even sucking the life out of users for its own purposes. Not my problem.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
