Intresting reading to point out the evils of AI and OSN - in no particular order:
We look before and after,
And pine for what is not;
Our sincerest laughter
With some pain is fraught;
Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
- Avoid OSN

Pl. note:
This page and all the associated ones are updated, very irregularly!!.
Your email would never reach me, specially if it comes from free email sites which mines private email messages for their own enrichment; such emails would be deleted by my spam filter and sent to /dev/null.
If you want to reach me, get yourself an email address e.g., which is from your own university or work place. Let us hope that some time soon, the politicians would use the public postal systems to manage publicly controlled email system.
Even though I was involved in the very early days of the WWW, it has been a dis-appointing betrayal of its original intent. I do not participate in any networks - social(!) or unsocial, so pl. don't invite me to join any!
If you are a prospective student and want me to supervise you, you must be able to fund your graduate studies. I am very selective and don't expect a reply to your request.
