@Daojoan As I've said before, these people think "AI" is intelligent because they think themselves intelligent, and their own brains are just slop regurgitation machines that have been trained by privilege to think that's a formula for success.

@Daojoan I also do that, because it's awesome https://blog.codinghorror.com/stack-overflow-none-of-us-is-as-dumb-as-all-of-us/
Stack Overflow: None of Us is as Dumb as All of Us

I’m in no way trying to conflate this with the meaning of my last blog post, but after a six month gestation, we just gave birth to a public website. Of course, I’m making a sly little joke here about community, but I really believe in this stuff.

@Daojoan true story: I once bought a "HANG IN THERE!" framed cat pic for the local dentist because they had no pictures in the room. They hung it and remarked on a subsequent visit that it was a source of great delight for all the patients. And I am not making this up. I can provide pictures and citations on demand. Yes, I am that insane. But you knew that.

Ah yes.
The smell of alcohol and antiseptic in uncomfortable chairs with the buzz of florescent lights while one contemplates imminent mouth pain...look around and see...

@Daojoan I have to admit I have never read "We need more electrons. We have to manufacture electrons" in a motivational poster. There's after all a certain upper limit to stupidity in motivational posters.

@Daojoan I had a client who's entire office had motivational posters everywhere.

He also bought motivational calendars, he'd mount those on the walls as well.

That office was not a happy place.
