I have been invited to keynote an international conference and they have asked me to talk about AI. I have responded by asking them how much swearing is allowed in a keynote.
@evacide a suitable amount I hope!
@petrillic I would absolutely fly to the other side of the planet to shriek profanities for 45 minutes, but if I'm doing that, I would like the people paying for me to speak to know what's coming.
@evacide consent in everything. And I’d happily pay to hear it.
@evacide @petrillic That sounds like so much fun that I am thinking about attending 😉
@evacide I think swearing would be a given, wouldn’t it?

@deliverator @evacide @ludicity I need to send this to my boss.

I've lost count of how many times he's asked me if I ran that through perpexity. No, I had no plans to run that through perplexity. *points at 15 years of experience*

@evacide ‘Swearing in a keynote is generally not recommended’ according to fucking Copilot.
@errorquark @evacide It therefore carries massive effects. Fucking do it.

@evacide maybe you can get away with one in a short speech

"It's fucking garbage"

@evacide Start with an expertly crafted narrative that gradually begins including factual errors, non sequiturs, and obvious hallucinations. Evolve the act over time calling them randomly by first names. Occasionally refuse to generate a reply.

You must play this role absolutely straight faced.

Conclude by thanking all the elephants in the room for attending.

@groovemd @evacide

Bonus points if you can manage to not blink for long periods of time, and occasionally use slightly incorrect facial expressions.

@evacide I got invited to AI4 because they literally wanted one person who would swear about AI.

@ludicity @evacide

I would pay to hear the two of you on stage talk about AI together

@evacide
You can deliver it in Anglo-Saxon!

@evacide

Here's hoping the answer is "All of it."

@evacide metrics. Swearing per minute (moving avg). Intensity of swearing per minute. Variety of. Inclusion of swearing from multiple languages. Event conduct code violations per minute (truth vs safe space). Use of public figure names as curse words.
