I'm not sure you're using your resources very wisely. 
AI is a high risk/high tradeoff field, but an academic and/or
industrial career would have provided you far more leverage 
than you currently have.

persona is incompatible with getting things done. I'd be out of
here long ago if I wasn't so hooked.
