There were a few work experiences that could, in a stretch, like much of the current situation (RCAI), and of yore of compilers, be considered AI. First some systems of the Air Force Satellite Control System network such as dynamic programming and other techniques used for attitude manoeuver, stationkeeping and other ops planning would arguably be considered such, although I had no hands on, I did have source access. The "metadatabase" of the EER job where I was introduced to Smalltalk had ambitions in that area. The central hourly labor scheduling algorithm of CSIs EMPS product which I improved qualifies. Finally, the Givaudan client server engine, now on my github, probably the most consequential work in my non-free work life, by virtue of its adaptive handling of SQL and the subsequent change from Givaudan being a unit of Roche in a duopoly with International Flavors and Fragrances to a standalone corp with market dominance. Could also start recounting compiler related things but not doin that. | There were a few work experiences that could, in a stretch, like much of the current situation (RCAI), and of yore of compilers, be considered AI.

There is a thing that was "AI" before RCAI (Rentier Capitalism AI) but it is fairly mooted by RCAI which is what I am referring to when I use this [[AI|<span style="color:lime;">term of art</span>]] or <html><a href=https://devops1.sameboat.network/About%20DCP><span style="color"lime;">current fulfillment</span></a></html> on it. I've written on this elsewhere but the skinny is that I never mean RCAI wrt what I'm doing here and so I avoid the term, cf. also <i>Sovereign Praxis</i>. | There is a thing that was "AI" before RCAI (Rentier Capitalism AI) but it is fairly mooted by RCAI which is what I am referring to when I use this [[AI|<span style="color:lime;">term of art</span>]] or <html><a href=https://devops1.sameboat.network/About%20DCP><span style="color"lime;">current fulfillment</span></a></html> on it.

In principle, and largely to the extent that the CPC is not a front for thinly fronted Chinese Capitalism there is a wider social context in which one can operate and ofc, RCAI itself primes the field for one to stand out. Other than the domain '''ai-integration''' with legacy suffix .biz, I am avoiding the term here to avoid association with RCAI. | ||
From the late nineties I mostly worked remote, but did work on-site in Buffalo in '14/15, and from the late 80s most jobs were on a contractor basis, Givaudan being the longest employee role, from the turn of the century largely independent of 3rd parties. I would say the GMRV job conclusively ended this stage of work life. The last paid gig as of this writing was Sep '23 and I'm calling it the 1<sup>st</sup> PWYWG as it was 3 days at my thrift rate. It had a mutually happy outcome, the kind I've generally been able to limit myself to for some time. Pauca sed bona. I am an Ayn Rand communist which you can find out more about from the 工 王 link. | From the late nineties I mostly worked remote, but did work on-site in Buffalo in '14/15, and from the late 80s most jobs were on a contractor basis, Givaudan being the longest employee role, from the turn of the century largely independent of 3rd parties.
