Didn't have anything on my Bio Description when I was on Twitter, but I guess I may as well have one now. Studied music, dabbled in history, love film. He/Him, in case the kilt wasn't a giveaway.

Screenshot from the hitchhikers.fandom wiki: The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is the primary manufacturer and supplier of androids, robots and autonomic assistants for the known universe. They are known for their catchy jingles and catchphrases, which are supplied by their Marketing Department.

The corporation is not known for the quality of their products, and almost all of their known inventions are faulty.

Their primary claim to fame seems to be constructing

just about everything with (unstable) advanced robotics and software. From doors to lifts, to toaster ovens, drinks machines, vacuum cleaners, and "personal massage units"-everything has been built with a full GPP or Genuine People Personality. This means that even a set of airlock doors has emotions. hopes, dreams, intelligence, and worse of all, the capacity for boredom. It should come as no surprise then, that the majority of these devices have a neurotic streak a mile wide.

It is wild to me that Douglas Adams predicted OpenAI

You might be shocked to learn that companies have been waiting to attack back against AI garbage. Truth is they had to collect enough evidence and information. Now they pounce.

I don't think OpenAI has a chance in hell.

Boomer (pejorative) is a mindset. I know plenty of Gen X folks who look on in amazement at AI, as well as Boomers who reject it.

As a Millennial, I did not choose generational war, it chose me. Millennials have been blamed for "killing" everything from napkins to face to face conversation.
