Brian Friel from Muff wins it for me! I laughed in at least three different ways
Re: Evil, Mad and/or Stupid
It does appear that Muskolini has taken control of the US Treasury.

I live about 30 min drive from Muff. Yes there is the diving club but even better is in August when the Muff Festival signs go up.....Brian Friel from Muff wins it for me! I laughed in at least three different ways
And an enterprising lady created an gin/whiskey brand, yup Muff Liquor.
I am not joking. All 100% true.

Never been to Muff. We stick to the Rosses.I live about 30 min drive from Muff. Yes there is the diving club but even better is in August when the Muff Festival signs go up.....Brian Friel from Muff wins it for me! I laughed in at least three different ways

Probably a bit like the Ball of Kirrimuir in August.

"Never been to Muff"
Well, during the last visit in Poland, we went to Szczebrzeszyn, blant annet.

I look and sound like a malfunctioning robot spitting out a text-to-speech LLM token soup (more bees for Cuch!) - blame the little cold I caught skiing like crazy!

Re: Evil, Mad and/or Stupid
In the 110% evil category, the speed with which Musk and Trump are destroying the US and the rest of the world (not necessarily in that order) far exceeds anything we saw in the ‘30s. It’s one of those things where, if you weren’t looking, you couldn’t possibly believe it to be true.

Excellent! Nice "British understatement"!!That's a bit of an exaggeration.In the 110% evil category, the speed with which Musk and Trump are destroying the US and the rest of the world (not necessarily in that order) far exceeds anything we saw in the ‘30s. It’s one of those things where, if you weren’t looking, you couldn’t possibly believe it to be true.
Re: Evil, Mad and/or Stupid
I don’t actually think there is much of a competition. Please name one government from the ‘30s that did as much damage to their country (or, optionally, to the rest of the world) during their first month as Trump’s.

Re: Evil, Mad and/or Stupid
I am not privy to this epiphany, but is the above undefined term the same as a BDI agent some 25 years back? (we did some prototypes on these using C#, they are nothing like ANNs!).I herald that the development of AI will take this further. And I’m not talking about Copilot or ChatGPT that practically everyone uses to work more easily and quickly. Thanks to AI agents, I’ve started doing things I never thought I’d be able to do in my life because of a lack of specific education, experience, or time! Now, everyone can become almost anything they want - all you need is a bit of brains, imagination, and creativity, especially with inspiring people around!
A cynic might claim that it is the last refuge of AI.

Besides, this model looks similar to process control paradigm.
Re: Evil, Mad and/or Stupid
Your rant ended up in this thread because of mad and stupid? Some credible people have recently characterized the quality of the output from the current generation of research agents as similar to that of advanced PhD students working in their own area of expertise. Not bad for a (nearly) free research assistant. Can I see a downside in the drop in demand for paid research assistants? Yes. Not to mention the corresponding drop in demand for almost all white collar workers, but what can you do?

I spoke to an experienced (Dutch) CS graduate (and he is no spriing chicken) and he didn't know who Edsger Diijkstra was..
maybe programmers are paid by the hour these days?

Re: Evil, Mad and/or Stupid
So this is where life gets fun. I used to get phone calls from certain CS students with a simple question, "Why am I being taught COBOL?"..... then we'd dig in a little and look at the uni, and guess want the language the main hiring company in the area was needing the most.... COBOL.I spoke to an experienced (Dutch) CS graduate (and he is no spriing chicken) and he didn't know who Edsger Diijkstra was..

interestingly IBM's main AI push is to generate COBOL code for enterprise, they know what's coming.
