@aadl.org Is there a way to browse and play the AADL streaming video library in, say, an AppleTV app? If not, would the library be interested in exploring such a thing?

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

If it were not for Bill Atkinson’s HyperCard, Rand and I would have never begun making games and we would have never made Myst and Riven. He was a gentle soul and a brilliant human. We owe so much to him.
