It's a wonderful one, there's inspiration for a bunch of Darwin award novella stories right there!

I only go to conferences on my own dime (ie I'm talking), so I can change the title on my lanyard! Beef Twister :)

I'll keep you posted.

Everyone thought I was a Fish-bender while I ran around as a Beef twister, missing my old life as a Sampler of drugs and aspired to be an Examiner of underclothing, but the truth is that I spent Fifty-two years as an imbecile (classically trained as an Emasculator). Ah, the dreams of a Cow-banger...

The question in my mind is where does leave innovation? I can't call if there's any real development going on. I read a list of startups in an incubator and 60% were i) dull/crap and ii) has "AI" in their strap line. :( The 40% weren't much better.

I'm finding moral redemption on Nasdaq futures.

Ah I love being old. What's also interesting is the sudden jump on "World Models", it's like all the AI company founders were reading H.G. Wells during the weekend AI bookclub.
