I found Physics Forums via Google search. Employment status is retired. Credentials; AAS EET 1984 NIT. Current livelihood summed up maybe as tinkerer. My preference for a word meaning tinkerer is tinkerman but tinkerman is already used elsewhere.

TINKER.webp

You can tinker with appliances but mathematics is pretty much carved in stone. That is to say if you want to make a new discovery it better give the same explanations as all the math before you. It's been pretty thoroughly tested. :smile:

Welcome though!
 
"Tinkerer is spelled T-I-N-K-E-R-E-R" proof that some AI has no "I". Perhaps the most useless, redundant sentence ever written? IDK.

Welcome to PF from a fellow tinkerer. AI is not encouraged here as a substitute for what YOU think, what YOU want to say, what YOU want to ask. Say it yourself, you are better, and more important, than a machine.

Agreed. AI has no agency, yet. But as I always say if you can't tell the difference then what is the difference?

EDIT: I meant agency in this meaning:

3: a means or instrument by which a guiding intelligence achieves a result
