Treating AI as a philosophical curiosity avoids real analysis of risk and opportunity. The right question is not “is this a bubble?” but “which parts of the AI economy have durable value, and which are speculative excess?” Not unlike the speculation in the cryptocurrency markets. Framing it rationally will give meaningful guidance instead of a confused mix of anecdotes and abstractions.
- Get a brandname that offers auto-over-the-air updates and keeps active development for bug and security fixes.

Install VScode, optimize the environment (10^10 article, google, or best are on medium), pick a topic/app you are interested so you are more likely to keep investing, and get a sub to ChatGPT. Start with "I want to build a python3 application that does {insert high-level description}. Please wait for me to describe it in detail. Do you understand". It keeps you interested combine it with more medium articles that interest you and ask ChatGPT when you don't understand. Ultimately it's try through creativity. If do not know what to build, tap into python projects on GITHub. Step and repeat. Never look back. If you want to learn other things like html, css, do a web app with flask or stream-lit...you will learn that too...
US companies recently faced changes to Section 174 of the IRS tax code. While there is effort to reverse this, there seems to be a lot of struggle in corp. America how to deal with the changes.

It appears to be a DCS-8010LH refurb, but well reviewed on Amazon. Time to add some cameras. Made in Taiwan under IEC62443, better than the other suppliers.
Yes, employees have become more reactive than proactive. This is especially unfortunate if you are in sales or creative roles. At our company, in WFH the company communication is much better, the use of Teams & 1on1 during the pandemic has removed what use to be more like departmental islands. Reactive, meaning people process out their tasks like, emails, to-do, meetings, but it tends to fill there day checking off all these boxes. In proactive roles you need creativity to chase the goals, and management needs to coach their goals...I find that proactive part of job responsibilities are falling off the table. We have moved to a hybrid schedule so their is consistent facetime for development, employeed feedback/discussion, and manager coaching. It is changing our business, and Q4 is/has shown a recovery.
My suggestion is to speak with those involved with health, human safety, and legal liabilities. Not a trivial question to answer because the definition of Safety, Harm, Trauma, and the specific conditions your questioning.
