Preseason week 3 gamethread:Steelers vs Bills

For those considering retirement, I suggest you use Reddit and join their subs FIRE (Financial Independent Retire Early) or Retirement. Some junk there but also good topics and learn about calculators if you’re ready, tax implications, using ACA pre 65, RDM and SS planning, etc.

 

I don't think he still works in sports probably just posting as a fan.

 

our QBs had a combined rating of 75. We are on our way

 

AI Robot maids are not going to be a thing in 5 years.. or 10 years.

AI is good for making visual slop and as a designer in the print industry, its definitely had an impact but not in a good way IMO. Now we have everyone telling us they have a design already yet they don’t understand anything about DPI or how a cool wrapped van can’t be printed because we need a flat design for the printer with their correct information on it that will scale properly.

A maid robot is going to break your dishes, windows, tables and kill you on your sleep. They lack dexterity and will crash into walls and people.

AI can crunch numbers quickly and pump out data, it can even find ways to work around firewalls and such which is dangerous but its burning tons of capital with no profit margins.

Its all hype and once these companies stop buying each others debts and investing in each others products its going to come crashing down.

and not to get political but AI was used to launch missiles at Iran. The problem was no AI model never thought about Iran shutting down the Strait or starting a proxy war with our allies.. or using cheap ass drones to deplete our expensive ass defense missiles.

I did make a nice chunk off AI stocks but I need to get out before it pops.

rant over

Go steelers

 

An accountant friend told me my goal should be to pay a lot of money in taxes

 

There's a financial podcast that I used to listen to more often than I do now.

The host would often say that you want to have Bill Gates' tax bill. Because it comes with his income / wealth.

 

One of my dad’s old friends told him

Harry if you get up in the morning and nothing hurts…..

…..you are dead

This video is from 2026. Five years from now, robots will be much better and cheaper.

Come again?




A personal example: The development I live in had a wheeled robot the size of a small lawn mower patrolling the sidewalks, trails, gates, and fences 24/7. Mounted with cameras and a microphone, it could see everything, hear, call security, aid people in need by calling for help, and more. It did not bump into anything. We had it for three months on a free trial. The company’s pitch was that it would cost less than a security person does for two years. It worked well, but it scared some people and pets, so the neighborhood board decided not to buy it. Robots can and will reduce the need for cheap labor. This is not science fiction. And on that note, the great sci-fi writers of the past men like Philip K. Dick and Isaac Asimov are long dead. I would love their take on the modern-day reality of robots.AI-enabled robots are already being used in warfare. In the not-so-distant future they will also replace some of the expensive tools we use to shoot down missiles with cheaper systems. Armed with lasers and able to move through the air, they are like scary dragonflies that can quickly take out drones and missiles.Hypersonic missiles are already dangerous enough in the wrong hands.

 

He is correct
Tell my wife that all the time too
Such a small world
We live in
