extremely worried they'll be left behind it's the future you know

there's a post at the end of the chain that the account holder specifically lists functional problems with using AI and the "solution" to this is assuming they're not good enough at prompting the AI.
AI is the Victor Lustig Rumanian Box scam. the second part of the scam was marks who didn't wait the 18 hours to use it again and thought they'd broken it so they buy another one. except Victor made money. AI companies are massively in the red. not a single one is making profit

@davidgerard Banned. Banned for life from building anything more complex than a baby block tower.
