Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

AMYCH! STOP THAT!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I actually never *told* a sudoku story; it took upwards of three hours before I finally gave up on a medium difficulty puzzle.

I'm getting stupider, Algernon!

If I only had a brain...

Is that as we've gotten better at creating this sort of thing, the threshold for what's considered AI by the public has gotten higher. What was defined under the AI umbrella in 1980 doesn't ping us as "intelligence" any more, and possibly shouldn't. It seems too strong a word.

That is exactly what I was trying to say and failed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Guess what! I HAVE A DOOR! My office actually has a door,now that opens and closes like anything. The door guys just left after a long, loud morning of pounding and drilling and other building-type noises and I am very pleased.

After this afternoon, I don't even know what intelligence is any more. I mean, it seems like a lot of what I do that's 'intelligent' is data analysis and pattern recognition. I just am better at some of it than some computers (though some computers are better at parts of it then me).

Folks,

the song on Letterman with O'Lielly was "Baba O'Reilly" aka "Teenage Wasteland." It is the song used for CSI:NY

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm getting stupider, Algernon!

And this is why I'm glad I just sit here and giggle. I already laughed out loud about a work thing, so whatev.
