Binoculars are the insight at long distances.

Broadly speaking, computers are decision-making tools whereas AIs are replacements for people. The Boeing MCAS system crashes makes my point about the danger of replacing people with AIs. Planes are relatively safe in the air, given their computers, pilots, traffic controllers and the space around them. This is very different from my point about high-speed vehicles on public roads with no one driving them.

I'm avoiding AIs, but the ones I have seen mostly warn that they make mistakes. When a plane flies in a high way it's mostly safe, but when a car hits the highway the highway can hit back. Remember George Zip!

AIs can provide helpful or hurtful advice, it's all the same to them. The reason the Isaac Asimov's three laws don't work is that AIs don't know what a human is or what harm is, and they will never know. Current AIs just juggle words, and have no understanding of their meaning. Driverless vehicles are a gimmick now, but they will be lethal. Fun will become terror when people are driven at 70 mph by a machine.

Each day there is a limited number of times you can initiate a chat or give a nudge. If the person replies you can keep chatting with them. Alternatively pay for less ads and more messages.

Would that be a good idea, and if so, why?

It hasn't genuinely worked for anyone.

for me white women are real and genuine sincere and kind to be a wife

It's dumb to say what all white women are like. What you really want is a wife who is sincere and kind.

Baseball isn't cricket.

I think a cricket bat offers more protection of vital areas than a baseball bat, which may be why you supplement your bats with artillery against the threat of home invasion.

The first part of the Rosamund Pike film "I Care A Lot":

"A doctor selects an elderly patient who looks like a good candidate for guardianship: a person of solid financial means who’s not too old and infirm just yet, but possibly on the brink of dementia. A judge signs a court order asserting that this woman can no longer care for herself and needs someone else to step in and help. A legal guardian shows up at the woman’s house with the document, saying she’s in charge now and insisting she’ll take good care of her property and finances. A driver whisks her away to a nursing home where the manager escorts her to a private room, promising she’ll be treated like a queen.

"And once all the pieces are in place, the guardian is free to drain this unsuspecting woman of every penny she’s got."

The English version of the joke runs thus “The first cricket testicular guard (Box) was used in 1874, and the first cricket helmet was used in 1974. So?”

Swales are shallow, broad, vegetated channels or depressions designed to capture, store, slow down, and filter surface water runoff.

Do I detect a bit of unearned braggadocio?

Delicious with basil, tomato and parmesan.
