However, if OP is thinking about getting a masters in AI, he might want to rethink it. I'm just going to set up a few dozen ASI systems to synchronize into a rudimentary AGI. That would be enough for what I'm aiming for, for now at least. Me and my associates already started testing them with Watson and Amazon Web Services. We actually sank a over six figures to get R&D started. Some of our team was located in Estonia and Finland. Some in Latin America. It's been... a roller coaster. Things are rough but I'm not stopping. I'll keep digging. --- "The wise speak only of what they know." - J.R.R. Tolkien <cite>Talk2DaHand posted [p:925541481] in At 33 year...

I don't love it, but I find it interesting enough. :) Learn to love it, or find something different to study. All of the people who excel in the field of computer science love it and work hard at it. The field requires constant study and practice to maintain your edge and keep your options open. Someone who doesn't have that drive to grow will become stagnant and their career will fizzle. Also, make sure you are capable of coding in the first place. People like to claim that anyone can learn to code, but it just isn't so. I used to do tutoring in my spare time and there were a shocking number of otherwise intelligent people who couldn't understand even basic programs. I once spent three hours trying to help a guy write a guess the number game in Java. <cite>darkmaian23 posted [p:925543308] in At 33 year...

Even if you work at, say, a .NET shop, Microsoft is continually evolving the C# language, and there are always new technologies to learn. The landscape itself changes too. .NET Core breathed some life into the platform, but these days even Microsoft's stuff is largely being discarded in favor of web apps, even for internal business use. <cite>darkmaian23 posted [p:925545346] in At 33 year...

For Android, you want Kotlin or Java. There are plenty of free learning resources for each. For ios, you want Swift. There are some cross-platform solutions as well. Be aware that you need to own a Mac to compile code to run on an Apple device. You can do Android development on anything. For just general purpose stuff, Python is a great choice. It's used a ton in data science and analytics. <cite>darkmaian23 posted [p:925545899] in At 33 year...
