I once was at a burger place in Durham (NC, US) when Chris Rock walked in. I didn't really notice until he sat down and started talking to the person he was with. I thought "I'll say 'hey, I liked you in ___' to say hi", only to realize that he doesn't have tons of movie roles.
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

finally, we've created a natural language interface that will make the awesome power of computers accessible to everyone, not just a highly trained caste. any problem we want them to solve in business, ordinary users will just be able to ask. pic unrelated

one reason the framing as "AI" is so bad is that it makes people think "interact with this like a person" when in fact the only way to make it remotely useful is "interact with it like an extremely powerful but extremely weird user interface"
This is really a huge part of why upper management is so in on AI. They think it will let them manage computers the way they currently manage the people who make the computer work. It will not.
I'm just saying I had someone tell me I had to hold the AI accountable and and no no I don't. That was not the effective way to coax it into doing the thing I wanted

Perhaps they should have paid more attention to the words he was saying and less attention to his wine. Though, in their defense, it sure was a mighty fine wine.

You need velcro for that, which wasn't invented until the 3rd century when the Romans invented it to help with naval combat. The so-called Oar Crow (or, to give it it's latin name, the Vel Corvus) helped hold ships together. And that's where we get velcro.

Taylor Hornbill is riding their skateboard down a ramp. Part-way down, the angle of the ramp changes. At that point, they jump off in some direction at some velocity. At what angle / velocity would they need to jump in order to land on the skateboard again when the ramp levels out?

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.
Some people are unhappy and always will be and deserve to be.

My alt-country Pandora station just played Candlebox's "Far Behind", which, while a total banger, is definitely Not Appropriate on that station. I listened to it, but then it tried to play REM's "What's The Frequency Kenneth", which, despite slapping hard, is also Not Appropriate.
