The first group of people that AI is replacing are programmers, translators, news anchors, language teachers, and soon accountants. I am happy that soon I will be retired but younger people will have hard times competing with AI. I wonder how many jobs the IRS will eliminate in 5 years by using AI. How about 10 years, 20 years.

Saw a securities analyst say this was one of the more revolutionary places for changes so far. My niece teaches and a guy I know runs a midwest office for a home schooling firm (they provide the curriculum and all materials for students learning from home) and they both commented that AI is going to dramatically change the fields in the next few years. I saw hedge funds are using AI to scan the world looking at published financial documents / transcripts of interviews and looking for red flags. AI can read every language out there and it reads ALL the footnotes. Regulators are going to use it also to scan for problems.

I second Splashtop. It's inexpensive, secure, and easy to set up.

@Catherine Hmm! I just typed in the same thing on Copilot and got 6 very logical items to check. The did miss one thing, though - it didn't ask if the gas bill had been paid. Oh well. I'm sure it will learn.

What is my concern is while AI is fine for grabbing and regurgitating the past, we have to remember to keep some people who are good at new things, or we will never move beyond the knowledge and experience grabbed (to be kind) by the AI bots. Written as I am working learning how to use Git to collaborate on a web site and ignoring the AI suggestions!

In the future, if you cannot afford a couple of tangible robots and one non-tangible robot, you will be in trouble. Start saving.

Was just asked by a customer. My reply is since our software is on their computer, they control access to all the software on their computer. (Especially since we do not require constant internet connection!) So any need to prevent access, whether you call it MFA or (what is not un)common sense, thinks like a pin, WIndoes password, Windows Hello, ant best a BIOS password are available.

Thanks everyone, I'm now on Splashtop.
