The museum has a robot block party every Spring. One year, there was a company called CyberDyne that made an exo-skeleton called HAL.

When I was a kid, I wanted to learn the Vulcan salute so bad that I would plant my hand on the desk and use the friction to hold my fingers apart until I could lift my hand and it would stay that way. 🤓🖖🏾

After having several conversations with people who admit they use GenAI, I'm convinced there is nothing we could say to make them think what they are doing is bad.
Why is generative AI bad??? I promise there are tons of articles and books that will explain why that have been out for decades.
If you need suggestions let me know. There are several people of here that wrote them.
