I work with several AI evangelists, none of whom have given me as accurate a summary of AI as this.
I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know.

Pretty standard behavior for landlords and, not coincidentally, conservative politicians.

While I’m likely to post a lot of political mess, I thought it better to lead with these spooky boys. Get things started on a positive (if silly) note.
