That reminds me that my team now has a working group to determine if/how AI can be helpful for us. I'm expecting the answer to be, "might be useful and interesting in the future, is of limited use for now". Unless something is coming down the pipe that can read our code base without sharing it with the wider internet, and come up with something interesting. But I think the AI just isn't there, yet. But at least it's better than blockchain, which has significantly narrower use cases than Chad Jipiti-style AI does. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/24 (Linux/64) * Origin: Storm BBS (21:2/108) .
