My favorite uncle, Phil Parcak, passed away unexpectedly last night (great health, fit, only 74, in ER for fatigue, and just... went). In his honor and to help my family, please reply with your favorite jokes below. x rated is fine. He had the most incredible sense of humor+ we always traded jokes.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I think everyone involved with DOGE needs to be taken to a remote island with no resources, and left there to "figure it out."

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
