This sounds wise. Yellow line, got it.

Hard to believe Amazon is far behind in their AI development, so why is Alexa a total idiot? I even tried asking if I could spell the artist name, and it spat out a bunch of unrelated gibberish

Amazon has no computer people working at the company

Oh but they do. They were hiring machine learning types years ago, before the AI boom. I got impression they were quite competitive from talking to a couple people about it back then anyway. Still puzzled

They're all gone now

"Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired."

-Jeff Bezos in his final message to his last competent AI researcher

I like the idea of one of the gazzillionaire tech giants going nuts lol. They could really wreak havoc!

They are nuts

Not sure if you notice I keep quoting Cave Johnson here, a great fictional example you'll find entertaining if you're not familiar 🤙

I was one more obscure reference away from googling. Looking it up now...

Ohhh, half life. That explains why I don't recognize it.

Almost

Portal 2

Which, unlike half life, you can watch as a movie by looking up a glitchless speedrun on YouTube (half life story doesn't flow with movie pacing that way)

Oh weird. Googled again and that's clearly what it says. I could swear I read half life a minute ago.

Cool that you can get story, though doubt I'll ever give that a shot.

There will inevitably be an actual movie adaptation you can wait for

Half life is in the same world 🤙

Alexa sucks because it's just collecting data from you as cheaply as possible, not sparing the expense to do AI stuff
