You might have better luck doing online courses and comparing how much they charge per course and what the overall cost will be. I tried going to community college but they charged absurd prices for prerequisites and they never stopped arguing with me about meeting the qualifications even though I met the qualifications. You can get a certification with Amazon I think for security. Basically do your best to keep working at a skill and keep practicing. Use Github all the time. If you need to get a good calculator that can do complicated math if you need to.

I can't speak for Ireland, though housing costs have become completely out of control. Even the most predatory realtor that I know strongly advocates for affordable housing. Particularly when supposed "affordable housing units" mysteriously become "luxury condos" overnight. It's almost like "economic forces" don't even act like economic forces anymore. They don't even care about making a lot of money on the housing, they just want to ruin the cost of living, get reactionary responses from the government or whatever offices that oversee all of this. Then they will continue to appoint winners, and then build on their failures by advocating for more restrictions and have an interest on sitting on a situation that is tenuous at best.

Right GPT chat isn't a good source, and is particularly a bad reference because it doesn't even provide its own references with its answers. The issue is that people can use GPT chat or similar tools to morph their sentences to be "novel". The problem will get worse with time and they will sound more human. New writing software could be a tool to help people to construe something useful, and if it's used for that purpose, then it needs to be documented, and yeah the article does cover all of those bases and that makes sense.

However there is an issue- does an AI program itself make deductions and conclusions based on what data it receives, and do those deductions contribute meaningfully to the whole project? It's not just a calculation, it's about stringing complex techniques or coming up with a formula, for example a type of chemotherapy? I'd like to know if the computer/AI was doing most of the heavy lifting for coming up with a specific treatment vs an author. Because if it isn't clear who is doing what in a complicated process like that it just makes things less clear if something went wrong. Right, I get the intent of all of it but knowing when the AI is put to good use is, well pretty useful.
