"So in business a lot of things are folklore. […] it means is, if you are willing to ask a lot of questions and think about things and work really hard, you can learn business pretty fast. It’s not the hardest thing in the world. It’s not rocket science."https://t.co/UpLMeP9ZDW https://t.co/4GL8EBxTCt

I (was) creating an amalgam of the best traits of all the cool people I meet on here and then pretend this figment of my imagination is my mimetic rival. Then I think of ways of becoming better than this entity. More kind, more caring, more thoughtful, more creative.

Tired: translation AI's spontaneously inventing langaugeInspired: GAI inventing music to communicate cogent narratives about time-space constraints as a template-metanarrative network operating across sensory modalities as accident of exploring sensor fusion of embodied agents.
Talk to me about kitten balls and their applications on time-space synethesia as a plausable way that sensory modalities are knit in the brain, and why Jeff Hawkins works with microsoft who just spent a billion dollars to buy (form an exclusive partnership with) OpenAI.
