I agree especially if the topic is boring football, Coronation Street, or East Enders for example.

 

I wouldn't have a clue.

 

Seeing as you introduced knowledge of certain subjects, I  am amazed at the number of people who go on about AI as though it exists, it might exist maybe 100 years from now.

 

The simple solution is to ask ChatGPT if it has AI, it will tell you no, but it will tell you it has a set of complex algorithms, machine learning capabilities, and fast links to all sorts of data it can cross-reference in superfast time, much better than Google as a stand-alone system for example. 

 

But it is a fantastic tool as instead of traipsing through thousands of lines of reference manuals when I write system code for iPhone apps it can point me directly to the correct area to look at.

 

But we do have to keep an eye on the results it produces as many times it has got it wrong, eg I asked it to refactor about 300 lines of my code, it was a test to see how good it was, and it got it completely wrong and missed out half of the existing code.

 

Plus if we update it with some new information it says it can not use that info, hence another reason it shows it has no AI, it has to rely on database updates now and then. 

 

 

We are entering into what could be a very dangerous time of our lives, as yet no one knows

Yep, that is what the media and news are telling us to get our attention so we read their nonsense and so they make money on advertising, etc. Unless you are less than one year old you have nothing to worry about in your lifetime regarding the so-called AI, most people don't even know what it means, they just follow what people are saying blindly.

The real danger is the idiots who voted for Labour.

 

I will be laughing my head off on the 31st of October when Labour tells us how they are going to rob the twits who voted for them.

Agree. There is no such thing as labour anymore. Two faced Blair was responsible for that

No, and neither I do I keep her on a short lease. Happily married since 1984.

Any man who comes from the West, decides to settle in Thailand and decide to settle down with the Thai woman, can decide whether or not he wants to be on a short leash. In my particular case that lifestyle never worked so I was just very honest and up front, early on. That wasn't the lifestyle we were going to embrace, I was not going to be tolerant of jealousy and possessiveness on the part of somebody that I was with, and though my woman didn't understand it at first, she sure did after a while, and we have both benefited from a great deal of Independence and neither of us is on a short leash, and it's very pleasant. 

 

I recommend that lifestyle to any emasculated man, however if you come here and allow her to dictate terms to you and then later decide that it's not working your only option is to leave, because once you allow her to become a monster there's no turning back, so it's all on you! Be a man or be an obedient mouse. Which lifestyle do you care to choose?

Anyone  divorce a western wife come to Thailand fall in love and marry a  younger Thai lady and then be coerced to be on a short lease is a wimp.

The background, last year I decided I just can't take living anywhere near Chiang Mai and being exposed to the city. It's making me miserable being stuck in traffic and eating off the sides of noisy roads. All I see being built are these miserable over priced housing developments. Investors bought everything and land prices are absurd. It sucks and I'm done.

 

I told me wife I'm going to have a mental breakdown if I have to stay another year and so now I've been staying at my rental house up in the mountains with my dog and she can visit me on the weekends or wait until I'm bored and come down to here house for a few days. She's been totally fine with this and happy to have some space to herself and make noise watching stuff on her phone. Win-win.

 

I was just back in Colorado visiting family and I told my aunt about this arrangement and she was totally not ok with this and even went so far as to say she would divorce my ass if I did this to her. 😂 Honestly I don't care if I get divorced but I'm not staying in that city until my wife retires in 15 years and I'm not going to let her quit and take care of her so this is where I'm at. If had the same marriage as my aunt and her husband I would have bailed years ago. What a nightmare.

 

Anyways this got my thinking, are Thai women more accepting of this or is it just me? I know 3 of my wives friends that have husbands that work in other provinces and send money back home. Everyone thinks this is normal. Maybe the guys do this to meet their societal obligations and then see girls on the side and that's just how some Thai people do it. No idea but that's the impression I get because there's certainly a pattern here.

 

Curious to know what your experience is. Are Thai women different in this regard?

 

Sounds like your marriage is OVER.
