Legit greybeard here.

People hunted me down to help scale up AI networks. I was ready to retire.

There is no shortage of work because thereâ(TM)s no shortage of mistakes. Ageism is a thing for meat grinder roles, absolutely. When $ matters youâ(TM)d be surprised how fast the grey hair turns into an asset, not a liability.

I was part of one of the first studies on aphantasia maybe a decade ago in the UK.

If I am not looking at something, it basically doesnâ(TM)t exist. I canâ(TM)t describe to you what my kids or wife look like, or my parents. Visual information is recalled as fact patterns.

I dream in audio only, and for want of a better word, a âoesense of placeâ.

Many theories on the advantage of this, but it may make you immune to PTSD. Iâ(TM)ve been in some situations in my life that might have traumatized others, but there are no pictures, and those memories are just abstract facts.

When I am looking at something on a screen, though, I can hyper focus quite easily. Once I learn something, I almost never forget it.

Crazy, how our brains work.

Take advantage while you can.

Nothing is going to happen. This is nonsense. Massive costal developments are still things. Reinsurance companies are not morons.

You can put whatever motivation you want on it, but if the world ends, it'll be nuclear weapons, a virus, or a supervolcano - but it won't be climate change.

If people cared about emissions, there would be mass nuclear adoption. There isn't, and they don't.

Comment Re:Buy Bitcoin? (Score 1) 224

Bitcoin long term prices towards $0 or infinity.

Every day the former is not true, the latter is more likely.

Separating money from state has never been possible before.

Financial collapses are not what you think - stuff goes on, but real assets are repriced. Savings are divided or vanish.

All fiat currency eventually ends up worthless.
