Your favorite meme?

Always has been.

@codinghorror So 80% of it was just made up on the spot?

That would explain a thing or two, honestly.

@codinghorror It is statistics now but is hasn't always been. I think PCs killed symbolic processing when they killed the Lisp Machines.

@codinghorror Comparing the entire disruptive industry of AI-enabled tech to simple statistics?

That's just mean.

I've tried to explain this to people I work with and they just don't get it. How can it just be statistics? It's too smart! But it really is. Just massively overpowered computers doing insanely and incomprehensible amounts of statistics. It's actually not even that insane anymore, which in itself is insane.
