I liked the article, and I hope to be more like an artist: I am soon turning 71 and retired from what I promised myself will be my last job last week (as a deep learning engineer, which is what I have been doing for about 7 years).
I am now referring to myself as a ‘gentleman scientist’ and I am most interested in Hybrid AI so that will be my non-paid vocation. I am in the process of switching my personal tech stack from Common Lisp to Haskell with hasktorch, etc. - a process that I expect will take 2 or 3 months.
BTW, getting old is not so bad, I recommend it.
