Screamers anyone? Bladerunner? Natural City? Alien Resurrection?
I take them all!
Why the downvote. To which of the artificial ladies would you say no?
I mean think about it. Amazon had to stop publishing BOOKS because it can no longer separate the signal from the noise. The printing press was the birth of knowledge for the people and the LLM is the death.
Maybe the self-publishing and BoD will decline in the long term due to ML white noise and publishers are a sign of quality again.
I remember actually a chemistry test where I did not use units in an important calculation but only in the answer. If I had used units I would have realized that I totally fucked up. I went belly up. :-(
Dimensional analysis was part of my degree but honestly, I remember little.
Where were you imprisoned? Sounded like China but I don't think you ever said outright.
Are you still there or have you come to the US? If you're still there, are you trying to get to the US? Do you have a safe and assured way to do that? How long will it take? A lot of your options are going to depend on what country you're in.
You said you don't have a working CC, but you at least have some money somewhere right? And you have access to it, and the ability to move it around?
No, not China. I was imprisoned in a western EU country. The things that happened I had considered impossible in a rule of law country. I am a dual citizen, otherwise it would have been impossible to arrest me. I have family here and I am still in this country. Not in the same federal state but still in the same country. When I was released out of the blue I felt like leaving immediately but after some hours decided to travel to my family. I have 2k USD in cash with me. So no worries. I have a place to sleep for a few days and money. I expect to have a EU CC working within 1 or 2 days. I will fly to the US in 1 month, maybe two. Don't know yet. Everything is difficult. I had a fiancee before I got arrested etc.
Fact is, you will create a tax liability there since most of this programs don't only require you to renovate the house, they also expect you to move there. . As much as I love Italy, I would not take the house with 50k USD on top of it for free.
Don't worry. Other countries will follow soon as online work becomes more available and the societies overage more. For some countries a collapse may be unavoidable. Crazy real estate prices? No retirement for you but please pay the retirement for the boomers? Sky high taxes? Good luck!
Wine would be interesting for Photoshop due to the GIMP CMYK problems. I run Photoshop on Wine many years ago. I just needed it recently and did not get it to work. I had to use a Virtual Machine.
