RE: Proof of Life :-) Kinda...

Yeah man! Things can easily turn very ugly quickly and we see examples almost every day. I guess people are innately optimistic (some more than others), but life changes some of us. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many tourists in Dubai when war was clearly about to begin next door...

AI is a wild card. Can be wildly good or bad. Depends a lot on who uses it, and what it learns. Also depends on what happens to us next.

My spirits are surprisingly high, given what's going on everywhere around us, and it obviously affects us/me too, both economically and emotionally. Keep going!
