I had a dream that I got a tattoo on my right forearm and wrist. I gave the tattooist freedom to design what they wanted, but I said I loved my dog. I got what seemed at first an abstract design that sort of looked like a dog. I then I realized it was Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner.

This damn test is the only test I ever failed in school.
The Cold War-era test was a staple of school gyms for half a century before the Obama administration replaced it. Trump says his focus on childhood fitness is for both physical and patriotic reasons.

The perfect analogy for AI is the thneed from Dr Seuss’s The Lorax. Nobody asked for AI, the same way that no one asked for a thneed. But the Onceler convinced people they needed it. And the consequences for the thneed and AI are eerily similar.
