Website Dedication

Long Ago

Long, long ago I was hitchhiking from Rochester, Vermont.
I was in absolutely wretched condition.
If the most skilled Hollywood special effect people were offered tens of millions of dollars with the caveat that they assemble a more gruesome looking human, they would be well advised to decline that assignment.
Despite that, a very nice woman in a white Japanese car picked me up.
She offered to let me stay with her.
Sadly for me, I declined.
She drove me the roughly 25 miles to my destination.
I very much remember the make and model of the vehicle, but there is no point in listing it on this page.
I also remember 2 other things that she said:

If this website becomes popular enough, maybe she will read this dedication, and if she reads this dedication, maybe she will remember me.
I hope that she had an absolutely magnificent life in the years since that day.
Pretty blonde lady in the white Japanese car, this website is dedicated to you.

Current Day

In my current day circle of acquaintances, there is a group of elderly women.
These elderly women will not stop telling those in the generations after them to get jobs in "A.I.".

A.I.

Regardless of how clearly I try to explain it to them, they adamantly refuse to listen to me when I try to explain what "AI" means in the labor market.
For a very, very small number of people artificial intelligence means jobs with high compensation.
For a far, far greater number of employees, when CEO's say they are cutting jobs to focus on "A.I.", they mean "Affordable India".
I would gladly cite whichever source first referred to "A.I." as "Affordable India", but referring to "A.I." as "Affordable India" is like referring to Klaus Schwab as a Bond villain.
It is so intuitive that even if whomever was first had not made the reference, someone else would have anyway.
In contrast to the group of elderly acquaintances, the woman who picked me up while I was hitchhiking would have the background to understand that for the overwhelming number of U.S. workers, A.I. is about exchanging one set of workers for another.
