  1. I've spent the last week building up a database and teaching Claude how to extract rates, information, pricing, time and labour with data from previous construction projects (invoices, quotes, cost databases, estimating spreadsheets etc). Some of the data I have fed to it is from paid sources. I've also been gradually feeding in Australian Standards/NCC. Basically feeding it all of our construction trade pricing broken down into each trade sector (indirect/direct costs): preliminaries, access/hire, carpentry, electrical, mechanical, fire, metalwork, doors, windows, plaster... civil etc etc. You get the picture. I've also shown Claude how to format and present all it spits out. I have been outlining our methodology. What each figure means as in applies in the field (pros and cons to different methods). What is comparable, where risk is. All assumptions and qualifications. How recently the data was obtained. Typical conditions for our unique type of work etc. I just realised how much this is actually WORTH, in terms of accurate and current ability to price construction projects (if you know what you are doing). Estimating is a competitive field in construction - you would never outsource estimating or make construction estimating a business. Each builder bids against the next. It is all done in house. I will be clear this isn't generating an estimate from a set of plans - much of that requires so much real physical world intuitive knowledge AI isn't capable of. I don't know if this applies to this thread - but I figured you guys might appreciate the use of AI here. I am a little scared someone could steal this! I've shaved off 40% of the time spent on various tasks alone with this little project
  2. High chance you are just misreading signals. You have trained yourself to look for them - yes? That's training a bias. Just don't act. Sexual tension is just part of life. I honestly don't see the dilemma. If you feel you need to lay out a boundary - do so. Then move on.
  3. Without additional context we can't really help you understand what is happening in your experience.
  4. It is an interesting line of enquiry (quantum aspects). Enjoyed reading the back and forth! 💫 Do you perceive a link?
  5. Replying to something he isn't directly saying, but that you take as an assumed truth behind the arguement required for it to be true.
  6. @Wilhelm44 I think you might be unintentionally incorrectly inferring a lot from what Leo is stating.
  7. Just shove AI into a robot body with sensors, so it can map to reality. Or maybe an organic body. Help to shorten your syntax/semantics gap.
  8. @Carl-Richard a non local awareness AI test is really, really interesting to me....
  9. I dunno where 40 came from - I thought AION was in his 20s
  10. I didn't have ADHD (I think). But after severe C-PTSD trauma levels, my ability to focus disintegrated. It took 3 years to retrain/recover it. I flunked university and had to re-enroll to complete at a later time, it was that bad. I could not keep linear thought, and I could not pay attention to anything that wasn't emotionally or energetically "charged" up with adrenalin. This was back when I was 19yo FWIW.
  11. I think this is all we are here for, in the end, in this reality
  12. It is the sort of framework / understanding I see generated by men in their mid to late 30s who are jaded and burnt. Most of which is an attempt to devalue women in a self soothing manner.
  13. @oOo Let us know your thoughts after
  14. There's this bitch who keeps stealing my Local Legend record - I cycle for fitness every morning for 25km, 1000m traversed elevation. This lady rides the same track as me daily. The only thing I want to know is if she is on a carbon road bike or not. I am on a little shitty 3 speed internal hub steel bike. Heavy. Slow. HARD. I love my meat grinder. I need to beat this woman! Although I am considering deactivating Strava as I have had 2 incidence of stalkers in the last 6 months.
