Assassinating is so easy a child could do it. It’s getting away with it that’s hard.

Yes, and we’re in denial about it.

He is and he isn’t. He’s a citizen of South Africa, Canada, and the USA.

If he wasn’t the richest being in the known universe, he’d be fighting an indictment right now.

Eight-hundred thousand chickens?

Every time I hear someone talking up prompt engineering, I feel like I should say something. But I don’t.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I like that someone in a position of authority is talking about this.

Sounds like someone messed with Texas.

The examined life with all its critical thinking and guarding against bias is hard. The dark side is easier.

Mostly I just remember the burns on my legs from the engine.

And then the motorcycle being broken and never getting fixed. I suspect my mom sabotaged it.

This is me and my dad. It isn’t, but it is.

I still don’t get it. What is so threatening about a mask?

At some schools, any major can result in a BA or BS depending on which electives you take.

Tory voters say they prefer Tory government. There’s the real headline.

It’s not dumbness, it’s cravenness. He’s saying things he thinks MAGA-bros like to hear. “Yeah brother, high-five! Burn those libs!”

Also the subtext here is that Jeff Bridges isn’t manly. I don’t think there’s a cure for that level of delusion.

I was talking with some scientists who told me that a mere touch on the hand from Jeff Bridges not only impregnates a woman, but also transitions her into a man.

I wake up each morning hairless, then I look into the mirror and speak the name Jeff Bridges three times. Instantly I’m transformed into a kind of human carpet covered from head to toe in three whole feet of man fur.

And I don’t mean to denigrate data science. It is important and powerful. And real machine intelligence may one day emerge from it (or data science may one day point the way). But data science just isn’t AI.

This is because the AI of today is a shit sandwich that we’re being told is peanut butter and jelly.

For those who like to party: All the current “AI” technologies use statistics to approximate semantics. They can’t just be semantic, because we don’t know how meaning works or what gives rise to it. So the public is put off because they have an intuitive sense of the ruse.

As long as the mechanics of meaning remain a mystery, “AI” will be parlor tricks.

Well, it’s certainly worth discussing.
