The most spectacular technological achievement in human history is canceled
Noteworthy byproducts of the Apollo program:
1. digital computing
2. AI-assisted machine control
3. high tech metallurgy and machining
4. microwaves
5. teflon
6. Tang
7. Space Food Sticks
8. Dissertation topics for Gender Studies grad students
The only reason for the Apollo program: it was a plot of the patriarchy to oppress the Cat Women of the Moon

After 10 years of running a charnel house for the wholesale slaughter of grammar, language, and rational thought, Twitter has some writing tips
it's like a crackhouse posting a dress code to class up the place
"A filthy urine soaked sofa for two, please."

"I'm sorry sir, but we recommend gentlemen be attired in neckwear before being seated. May I offer you one?"

1979 Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon. They're real and they're spectacular. #DavesCarIDService
This was a factory option on Pintos 1977-79, and you could even get an Econoline van to match. All the rage among the stylish disco serial killers of the day
as a long time enthusiast of Ford Motor Company products, I will admit this is perhaps not its finest moment

1972 Ford Torino, license plate looks like 76 Massachusetts #DavesCarIDService
I am certain on the car, fuzzy on the license plate. It's mid-to-late 70s, either green or blue on white, in "ABC 123" format, which rules out a lot of states

I read Kissinger, Schmidt and Huttenlocher’s @TheAtlantic article on the future of #AI, and given the article’s reach, I think it’s worth talking about a few things. Thread.
I recommend reading the piece which I find in parts very illustrative of the debate on #AI in the policy community (I’m defining ‘policy community’ very broadly here). theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Of course, the authors are highly respected (though not uncontroversial) individuals, and at least two of them know *a lot more* about #AI than I do, so I mean no disrespect. Still, a few things seem worth looking at closer.

🔥Quick thread explaining Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Algorithms and more! Lets begin...What if the algorithms that calculate all those decisions that affect the minutiae of our lives, have programmed themselves in ways that we cannot understand their behavior?
In earlier iterations, Artificial Intelligence (AI) was constructed in that #AI ought to be reasoned according to rules/logic, making their inner workings transparent...
But now, machines are constructed like biology, and learn by observing and experiencing.
Instead of a programmer writing commands to solve a problem, the program generates its own algorithm based on example data and a desired output, the machine programs itself.
This creates the bigly problem, you can’t look inside a computer neurological network to see how it works

AI has met a fork in the road; which path will dominate?

While pure #AI, or open API, will soon allow #robots to become more human-like, pragmatic AI is alive well today and driving true business transformation

It might not be long before machines begin thinking for themselves -- creatively, independently, and sometimes with better judgment than a human

Alan Marco: high quality patent has to adhere to patentability standards and claim an appropriate scope.
(Turns out defining a high quality patent isn’t that hard after all.)
Marco: does allowing amendments post-grant create an incentive for applicants to care less about getting a valid patent up front?
