    Don’t forget AI is now the term for anything a computer does.

    My ideal tech future is a log cabin, no electricity, in a self-sustaining farm deep in the woods.

    Not to mention those old school CRTs were really terrible for the eyes

      Don’t forget AI is now the term for anything a computer does.

      That’s one of my biggest pet peeves when I’m interviewing new hires. They’ll say things like “In my previous position, I wrote bots for [business purpose]”.

      Bot? No, you wrote a script. I realize it’s a matter of semantics, lol, but words have meaning.
