Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Public service message:

Remember that computers do not think. They didn't think in 1950, nor 1980, nor 2000, nor 2025.

"AI" LLMs give the illusion of thought but it's still not actual thought.

We tell computers what to do. They do it. End of story.

The rats... there are rats in the walls... on the walls... the walls are made of rats... rat walls.....

A picture of an office wall. Half of a toy rat has been affixed to the wall such that it appears to be emerging from said wall. On the left is a power outlet at the same height as the rat, further left is the corner of a door, and on the right is the corner of a cubicle divider.
