I'm not skeptic about AI. A skeptic is a person who questions the truth, validity, or value of an idea, claim, or belief rather than accepting it at face value. I was just wondering if the advance of AI is likely to be slowed by its failure to produce profits rapidly for investors. AI has been developing since the end of WWII. It hit some hurdles in teh 60s and 70s when computing power wasn't up to its needs. Now that power seems to be available, but other factors are at play, and I reckon the major factor is the profit on investment in the short term.

I'm wondering if the AI boom might go bust. I need to separate the technology from the financial backing it needs. I don't see the technological side of things dying off. There will always be people playing with it and developing its abilities. However, it seems that recently there hs been some nervousness amongst the sources of finance for it. At the moment, those seeking to finance AI seem to be hyping it when they are making their requests. Howver, it also seems that those who can provide the finance are concerned that the returns on investment are too long in coming. I'm not a financial expert, but my opinion is that those providing the money want both security for their money and at the same time they want the profits to roll in pretty quickly. In other words, investing in AI is a risky business. I think that these financiers, having been burned by the dot.com bubble and the causes of the 2008 GFC, and factoring the uncertainty of the global political situation might become more reluctant to go in as deeply as those seeking finance might like. However, my opinion is based on the way I think Wall Street types operate. I think that they are too concerned with short term returns. That leaves the other major economy whose mind set allows for playing the long term, regular small returns game. We live in interesting times.

Geez, mate. It wasn't a BYO.

It is a shame that Sir Patrick's memory is being hung on only one of his roles. Why Sir Patrick? He was knighted in 2007 for his services to drama. He had a long career as a Shakesperian actor. Also, one of his movie roles was in the X-Men franchise. The movie role I remember is as King Richard in Mel Brooke's Robin Hood - Men in Tights. He also was held in high esteem for his series of readings of Shakspeare's Sonnets during the COVID lockdown.

Upon whom does failure of main players to participate in such meetings reflect?

The flight in the video from St Helens Park to Bankstown was over my old stomping grounds, so I knew exactly where the aircraft was all the time, except the right hand circuit to 29. So the navigating wasn't a problem for me. My difficulty would be learning the radio work since when I flew at Bankstown years ago the amount of radio work was minimal. However, an experieinced pilot who took the time to study the documentation should catch on pretty quickly. Afterall, we have student pilots whose training base can be airports like Canberra where the student has to be as good with the radio as an airline pilot.

This post is really random, but I figured you blokes would be interested to see the new procedures for flying into Bankstown now that Western Sydney Airport is operational. As you go through the video pause it and havea look at the VTC and see all the airspace changes. In the comments, someone says that new peocedures for departing Bankstown mean it taakes longer to even get to the runway. By the way, the ME in the title is not me.

Brendan, this is what you need: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/au/en/immigrant-visa

In the current international financial situation, no political party in a small nation such as ours has any control over the country's economy. If the Prime Minister was Taylor or Hanson or whoever is the leader of the Greens, the situation today would be exactly the same.

Be very, very careful. That statement could readily be taken as defamatory. It has been published on this site, so the site could be prosecuted, and maybe taken down.

You are the one who is making the statement. Would you look it up if I claimed that it was true that the Moon was made of green cheese? Remember, it is a custom of this forum that those who make claims of fact be prepared to openly provide references to the source of those facts.

I demand proof of that statement!

I really think that which ever mob forms the Government, the person that Party puts in the position of Leader should not have to carry the ball for evry MInister in the Government. Those Ministers were chosen to attned to the operations of a particular area of government. I think that they should be the ones fronting the media. The captain of a sporting team isn't the one who is expected to score all the points for the team. The Prime Minister's role should be more about the international diplomatic side of Federal politics.

I don't follow AFL, but my Dad was born in Carlton Vic, so if anyone asks me which AFL team I follow, I say, 'Carlton'. I couldn't name one player in the current lineup.
