Important to keep in mind that it has a per capita income similar to Mississippi, not wealth. Wealth can mean many things, but it is often associated with your savings more than your income. If you go by median wealth per adult, the UK is s

I had a professor in grad school say that AI is just a search algorithm. I think that is an interesting way of framing things. Often times the model is just searching its training data for the right output. I don't think this diminishe
