There's an old parable about two AIs, one which cannot tell the truth, and another which cannot tell the truth.
First Sundar Pichai, now Tim Cook, both admitting that generative "AI," by dint of its very foundations (cf. "Bias Optimizers"), will not and cannot stop bullshitting (cf. "On Bullshit Engines").

I see this postcard posted online a lot with "ca. 1910". Since she has a newspaper in her lap I thought maybe I could get a little more specific, so I went on a research binge and found it. It's a copy of Le Mirror from August, 1915. gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...

I didn’t leave X because people there had different opinions and ideologies, I left because it stopped being fun. I get on social media to chat with people who think thinking is fun. X stopped being a place where that was true.

The CAT was an acoustic coupler modem (pictured below). I think it's beautiful. 21st century modems look like a Google Nest. I think modems should look useful, like they might send you a picture of a cat.
The CAT's peak bandwidth was 300 bits per second, or as we would say nowadays, 0.9 Cat/μcc

I would like to propose the following Standard Units of Measurement for my Skyposting.
b (banana - distance) = 20 cm
B (Banana - mass) = 120g
cc (scaramucci - time) = 10 days
b (banana - distance) = 20 cm
B (Banana - mass) = 120g
cc (scaramucci - time) = 10 days
