    Not going to go into details due to confidentiality, but I recently was involved in an initiative to utilize AI to scan education databases and identify students who may be at risk of dropping out, with the goal of having an early safety net for these folks. And also raising the schools retention rates, thus better outcomes overall.

    So yes, AI can absolutely be used for good.

      I trained an ANN back in 2012 to trade bitcoin for me on mtgox. It performed quite a bit better than just HODLing until mtgox happened.

      Now I live in a van down by the river.

      I assume your project wasn’t based on ChatGPT? It feels like a lot of the AI hate is directed at ChatGPT and its current hype wave.
