Was at a startup conference recently where one company said that they don't build cars - they build smart devices.
I agreed to the person next to me that in the end ..
* it's still a car that should bring me from A to B
* we don't like driving
* we can't afford having a driver so that we can enjoy the entertainment system
* we prefer to be on a bike anyways

One thing I don't get about how "AI" is marketed is this:
Almost no people want to be their own software designer, or their own doctor, or their own lawyer, or their own structural engineer or indeed their own artist.
They want to get advice from trained and experienced professionals and enjoy art and stories and entertainment from great artists.

We are a nation in discontent.
So I suggest that all of us schedule at least one evening at a local live theatre performance of some kind (but *not* some Broadway revival.)
Live performers on a stage emotionally interact with the audience in ways that are far beyond anything that TV or film can do.
Live stage is a dying art form - but it is one that we really need, if not for entertainment then for the way it teaches us to listen to others and effectively communicate with t…

I don't want to believe this movie is 40 years old, because that would mean I'm old, and I'm not old.
But it was a great movie. Never saw the sequel or the remake, and I don't feel like I'm missing much.
