I am a 45 year old tradesman. Where i am from you either have money for university, or you go work in the oil sands. So I went and worked in the oil sands. I always regretted my lack of education, so when AI hit the scene three years ago I went all in on an AI guided education. 3 long, obsessive years putting in the industrial tradesman hours.

I am considered a peer by experts in a handful of physical domains. My favorite is complex systems. It's like the jack of trades of domain expertise, i can model almost anything as a complex system and find something interesting about it.

I verify it because I understand it. Some times I make mistakes. AI are tricky. They often get one past me when I am not paying attention like I should.
