Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

We have a flight from Barcelona to ATL in October made as part of the cruise, so it's "not upgradable".  I am in a chat with Delta now and they are putting us in Comfort with no charge.  I was trying to use miles to do it on line, didn't work.

So I went to their Chat site and got some AI thing that was goofy and then a person.

that makes me happy

all the fuss about AI is really just fuss imo

AI is a bit scary to me, I have no idea where it's headed.  The eventual impact on employment is one aspect.  We already have MANY Waymo cars here driving around, they get confused at times, but actually drive pretty well from what I've seen, never used one.  We have the small delivery bots everywhere, they get confused pretty often, and can be funny to watch as they try and cross a street.  

Tip of the iceberg.  I expect some medium level restaurants to start using bots very soon, at least to deliver meals, maybe your server is human, or maybe you order off an app and the whole thing is automated, including cooking.  

The scariest part has to be military use.

Aside from automation, I see folks using it, or trying to develop some new drug.  I find that "fascinating".

I THINK this will be difference, as in a lot of "menial/low skill" jobs could be eliminated, like truck driving etc.  The computer revolution mostly eliminated fairly skilled jobs.

I think truck driving does require skill, but those folks won't see another career op very well.

I may have told this before, but I was the domicile parent, so my ex paid me monthly, not much, under $500 for three kids, I banked it all for their college.  Anyway, one month it didn't come, the next month it didn't come, so I mentioned it to her and she flew off the handle at me (as usual), it was somehow my fault.

So, I do nothing about it until I get a call from Children's Service harassing me for not paying child support.  I kindly inform the lady that I'm on the other end of this equation, she checks her papers, and says she'll call me back.  Whatever.

A week later my ex calls me all mad because a county sheriff showed up at her door saying he would arrest her if she didn't pay up, again, my fault.

The deal was she had changed checking accounts and not bothered to change the monthly payments.  Anyway, it got sorted out, I didn't go to jail.  I think I got the back pay, which I had asked to be reduced in the divorce because I thought it was way too much.  I think it was supposed to be $1500 or so a month, for three kids, while I was making a pretty nice salary.  Crazy I know.

Texas played someone or something called "Daniel Baker" way back in the day.  If you're bored you could attempt to recreate that...
