| +-=|_____ ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE _____|=-+ | |
| I don't really like AI right now. I've been working on a paper | |
| about some of the bad and what I see as the abuse from the use | |
| of Artificial Intelligence. I've been in the IT field for a long | |
| time now and IT has been my life. AI has been something I've | |
| been on the fence about and mostly avoided. I tried to start | |
| using it via the hyped Rabbit R1. That system was a failure, | |
| and mostly a eco system for delivering revenue into subscripts | |
| for basic conveniences; DoorDash, Airbnb, ..etc. Although the | |
| company claimed R1 could be trained to play Diablo-II, and do | |
| other type of agent activities, there wasn't any API for things | |
| I was interested in, like standing up Operating systems and | |
| infrastructure, or playing Diablo-II. I'm not sure if their | |
| demos were even real. I sent back the R1. | |
| Time has passed since the R1 and the AI train is moving fast. | |
| There are now systems with agents that might be able to perform | |
| tasks I'm interested in, and related to the work I do. If I | |
| don't explore AI I'm certain I will be obsolete or too far from | |
| modern IT to hang on anymore. Part of me wishes to let it all | |
| go, but the other part knows I'll feel like I missed out on some | |
| interesting aspects of computing. So here I will try to start my | |
| documentation of AI exploration. | |
| Aspects of this will include things I don't like about AI, and | |
| things I'm trying to do. This probably means I will have to | |
| decide to let go of things I really enjoy like retro computing, | |
| single board computers, and systems on a chip. |
