ah, good to know… thanks for the info

Gold cards?

You mean your immigrant friends?

And yes, the more prepared and richer your friends are, the better the options... But still, it is not like all countries in the world are waiting with open arms.

The life of most immigrants is at least a bit uphill

I have found no use for trivial stuff as I don't trust what it outputs. If I have to verify its answer, I might as well just research it on my own, it's literally more work to ask and research than to just research

At work, the only use I have found is to provide fake data so I can run some tests as I work on confidential stuff I cannot use directly. For example, they other day I asked for 30 super hero name, last name, gender and DOB table just to pick from. I could easily do it by hand as it does not have to be accurate at all, but it was faster to prompt than to just randomly type and I did not care if it missed the prompt (very rare scenario IMO)

Count me in as the fifth

LOL so this happens so often it's a running joke now but my son told me this story yesterday (first time it happened to him but knows about it from me) and I almost got teary eyed hahahaha

The problem was created by Provinces cutting funds to universities and education in general... Universities made up the shortfall by using International Students which was a Federally enabled escape valve.

This has been the game of mostly conservative Provincial Premiers; cut everything and blame it on the Feds.

I do feel for some of the legit universities but from what I see, the vast majority of the money milked from International Students did not go to improve the level of education (barely has moved in the last few years) and mostly went to "Mall universities" which are borderline a scam, all stamped and approved by the Provincial gov.

The list of countries where Americans can legally migrate to (permanently) is very short. I bet OP "chose" Taiwan due to some personal circumstance not applicable to most Americans

No gov should allow their data in Microsoft hands simply based on this...

While I want both to be true, he’s betting against governments wanting actionable intelligence on each and every citizen

Not at all... governments can keep that even if ALL commercial AI disappears today. The gov wanting this would keep the tech alive but not commercially viable at all; if anything, the gov would prefer to have it all to themselves and keep whatever advantage it's supposed to provide.

AI, in and of itself, if not more privacy intrusive than: cellphones, facebook, google suite, etc

However, I am still dumbfounded on how 42% voted for the other guy. He is literally a sexual assaulter and he was endorsed by Trump and Elon Musk! How is it that so many people still voted for him?

because too many Americans still think "wE aRE NoT thEre YEt!"

sure brother.. I guess all these people asking for a stop the genocide were also tERroRisTSs

keep your head in the sand as long as you feel safe... just be aware that when fascism has taken over and satisfies your definition, it will be too late.. just look at USA
