@quixoticjeremy classic, I've not seen it in many a year. Used to watch it so much, but now it's easily been twenty years. Can't really remember the last time that I watched it.

I remember watching this probably about 5 years ago when I was out in Colorado. Sitting there with no friends because I had just moved there, with beer in hand.

With beer, you are never alone.

Beer will always remain true, it is always there for you.

What I love is that Elon Musk is here trying to tell them stop messing with AI and Mark Z is like "Pssh, its fine. What could happen?"
