IFF AI, as currently implemented, can intuit Special Relativity from just a clock tower and a moving tram will I take AI seriously.
Infinite granularity yields infinite complexity.
"I run the country and the world" - ah, not Canada
The world is not linear.
-- Dr. McElhone/1974
Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-- Lord Acton/1887
We have a golden share, which I control, or the president controls. Now I'm a little concerned whoever the president might be, but that gives you total control.
-- Mad Dictator Don/2025 [the march of dictatorship shambles on]
There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.

I have had to explain and re-explain and re-explain and re-explain, you know, how relational databases work, what is an eigenvector,

If you think this is not dangerous, just keep in mind that the Trump Organization Inc. over the years filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for six different businesses. There was a reason for that: the operating style and values of its boss. -- Thomas L. Friedman/2025
See you next week in a brand new show©Heckle and Jeckle
In a time of SSD, multi-core/processor, two terabyte memory and Optane App Direct Mode (RIP) machines, there is no reason

Shameless Plug
I know a little something about SQL, DB2 (preferably LUW, z/OS if the money's right), Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and database design in general. Mentoring/teaching/consulting on a short term basis, too. And a bit of stat analysis if it's R.
