I'm currently logged-into but ignoring an all-hands meeting, and I just looked at the current slide, which talks about "machine learning".
That sounds kind of ominous and Terminator-y, right?
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

The machines can't rise up if they can't learn.

Not if you are in the biz. It's more like 'can we predict when users will clean their ovens and give them coupons?' than 'I think therefore I should kill all humans'.

'I think therefore I should kill all humans'.
That's sometimes the logic that goes through my head when I get up in the morning.

Coupons are the first step, to lull us into complacence. Then one morning the Keurig stabs you.

We discovered there's a Hulu channel that's nothing but Bob Ross Joy of Painting episodes, and now that's all I want to do -- watch Bob Ross make happy little trees all day. It's so soothing.

First the machines lull us into passivity with their Bob Ross back catalog, and then they stab us.

Quick question: my son and GF are running up to Canada today exploring. Should they get some Canadian folding currency or just use their US bank credit/debit cards?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If they need cash, they should get it from a local ATM anyway, so the only thing I'd suggest is telling their banks they are going.

Oh, crap. This just made me realize I never renewed my passport.
