Pull the other one... Rent a decent drill or do it old school: with a hammer and chisel. May get those virgin hands dirty though. May hurt a bit when you use your keyboard afterwards... :-)

Wikipedia, ugh, have to read paragraphs... so exhausting.

Had to study two models of treating staff in an HR course. It was more than 2 decades ago so I may get some details wrong. One was the (Henry) Ford model. People on the work floor are a necessary evil. They cost a lot, they make mistakes. Yuk! Avoid them if possible. If you give them a job, make it as simple as possible so that they do nothing wrong. Do not work well? Toss them out, replace with a fresh specimen. Etc. The other mode, Kensian, I think, it saw staff as something you invest in. Truth is in the middle of course, but in this case, as it is Ford the company I can imagine that they stick with the philosophy of their founder.

Dear sir, I see that you have good economic insight. My name is Fons and I am a representative of ACME. Have you heard how Ai is going to shape the world? Well, these people need RAM, DRAM! There is a shortage of it and my boss decided to jump in and construct a new DRAM factory! But he needs your help. Invest! Go all in, profit guaranteed*. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Make money be making Ai possible. Sign Here.

* If Ai is a bubble and it bursts, you are on your own.

Well, if corporate fires you and then tries to hire you back, you have got to demand a serious raise. Do not take it personal. This? It is called doing business.

Now we nerds are even turned down by RAM manufacturers... Maybe I do need to take up painting...

... other than slashdot of course. Heard YouTube is good.

Take a drill,make a hole in the wall. Attach Iinsude unit of AC, put tubes through hole. Close hole. Connect tubes to outside unit. Done.
Lots of people getting rich doing this these days.

It is about privacy I guess. Who needs that these days? Privacy is for boomers.

Imagine anyone struggling to find work. No flipping burgers. Robot took that job.

It absolutely makes sense to replace workers with robots from the perspective of a single company. If you broaden the perspective, you end up in existential questions. What is the purpose of life. What is the purpose of 7 000 000 000 people? What do we do with "obsolete" people, people who do not contribute to the economy.
That is when the hard questions emerge. Too easy to hide behind a single company then. "Let the government figure it out! Not my concern!". If you do not engage there, it will become your concern whether you want it or not, long term. Lets fantasize a bit. Let's make it extreme. AI takes over, robots do 95% of the work. That includes maintaining robots. It could go two ways I guess. We all live a life long vacation, or it polarizes in haves and have nots. With the way things are set up now, it will go in the haves have nots direction. That is brutal. That is a total disrespect for human life. We better start thinking of a social welfare program or it is going to be very ugly.
We have been here before. Basically when steam engines and machinery improved our living standards. In my country, that is when socialism emerged in the government. After a lot of bloodshed. Let's try to avoid the bloodshed this time. Let's, for once, let reason rule, not hormones.

My fingers hurt after typing for a long period. Speech may give them some time to rest.

Just had an issue with the water pump in my home. Chatgpt walked me through the repairs. Thanks, ai!
It is far from perfect, but it is good enough for a lot of things.

When people are talking about it, it is too late.

Last router I bought had the option to set up a separate wifi network for iot devices. This may be such thing. From memory a rather standard TP-Link. Ax50 something.
