I'll try not to think about the Jackie Chan aspect when I watch it, that's a high bar to reach (given Chan's abilities).
Did anyone else think the chair was pixelated? It isn't, but I had to go full-screen to tell. Hmm, maybe I've watched my kids on minecraft too much.

That fear in me escalated when on a Japanese platform and one train split into two and left in different directions… and I cannot read Japanese.

Wow, I guess blank page leaves it all to the "imagination". Do you get the same kind of thing each time, or are the topics very different? If they are similar, presumably that says something about the stats of the training data?

Binary implies one or the other, but it doesn't seem that simple. E.g. people with XY chromosomes can grow up female and even (very rarely) give birth novonordiskfonden.dk/en/news/more...
Layer on the complexity of hormones and psychology, it seems logical that some people won't fit the binary view.
