losing a contract should not feel like being fired, but when it's half your income it certainly does feel a lot like it.

yea there's no jobs anymore.

Silicon street idiots decided IA was the next big things and now they crashed the economy. Again

How many time will we have to learn that giving all the economical power to a bunch of psychopath in the US is not the way to go?

@antigermanist if the rest of the world started inventing cool shit maybe you guys could cause some economic crashes too

@AlgoRythm all the "cool shit" the US invented were actually just thanks to german nazi scientists they brought back after the war

@AlgoRythm so give them back!!! we want those nazis scientists back.

Right @Lensflare

@antigermanist sorry, brain drain is irreversible. We’re keeping Einstein and the lot. Should have had more strict border policy, like North Korea!

@antigermanist I noticed you write IA instead of AI every time.

Is it just your illiteracy or do you have some idiotic reason to do so and it’s actually intentional?

@Lensflare > 'I noticed you write IA instead of AI every time.'

I was slightly confused by that, as well.

@D-4got10-01 what would you bet on?

* mistake due to illiteracy
* intentional due to some idiotic reason

A bet system integrated into devRant would be funny 😄
You could bet with your upvotes as the currency

@Lensflare > 'what would you bet on?

Hmm...

- I didn't care that much to check whether 'IA' is a localized term, but would be my first idea.

- Then, I would think 'dyslexia'.

- Should the two previous ones return false, I'd go w/ your 2nd entry.

@D-4got10-01 I‘m convinced that those are the two only possibilities 😄
They are logically exhaustive.
Even if there is a legit term that is abbreviated as IA, it would still be an idiotic reason to use that instead of AI. Because you don’t want to confuse the hell out of people and make them question what the hell you are talking about.

@Lensflare Hmm... true enough.

Chose to be !lazy this time around. Checked Google Translate for Belgian... which doesn't exist... obviously. Also, the country can't even decide on one official language, it would seem, as officially they speak Dutch, French, && German. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... .

AI:

- NL: Kunstmatige intelligentie (KI).

/* Nah, that's !it. */

- FR: Intelligence artificielle (IA).

/* Ah... there we go. */

@D-4got10-01 yeah, Belgium is weird as shit.
Imagine having to learn 3+1 languages in school.
No wonder ostream is dyslexic.

@Lensflare True. I remember thinking that the 2nd foreign language on top of English they introduced in high school was an overkill.
