       @lauren I'm not sure if I'm comforted or worried by the obvious fact that the news media have nothing better to obsess about.

       @lauren I'm pretty sure they don't have light bulbs in the 25th century.  Bulbs are so 20th century!

       @lauren Yeah, I've got it, too.  Wish there was a button for "no formatting".  Instead, you have to go down to the 3-dot menu, and select "plain text".

       @simon Indeed.  Eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable -- witnesses frequently hallucinate.The key for AI systems is to do some consistency checking, I think.  Run the conclusions through a physics model, for instance.  But that requires understanding, not just translation.#AI

       @lauren I feel that the next remake of "The Fly" should be set in the ST transporter universe.  Party of six to beam down?  Sure.  What could go wrong?

       @lauren It's all entertainment, Lauren.  Maybe 24-hour TV news made sense before the Web, but not now.
