I had seen / heard this previously, but it popped up again today. Easily one of the best commercials ever made. Hearing Steve’s voice not only gave me chills, but choked me up as well.

Even on a superficial level, the sleek, suave em dash feels superior to the homogenous barrage of dots and commas that otherwise constitute the punctuation department of the English language. I quite enjoy its visual audacity. It takes up the most space of all the punctuation marks. In the cyberworld of excess, it draws the eye... See more
I Love the Em Dash—Too Bad If AI Does Too | The Walrus
Don't be boring and

AI and AI AI Captain
In 1964, X-Men introduced Cerebro, a supercomputer that connects the mind of the user to every single mutant on Earth all at once. But this is lethal to the untrained mind. It instantly invites infinite noise directly into the user’s brain, causing extreme psychic overload, even coma or death.
The Art of (Attention) War
From Richard Feynman’s 1974 commencement address at CalTech. It’s pretty amazing how relevant this still is, perhaps even more so!
Is the code any good? I don’t know. Who cares? Nobody looks at it anyway. AI produces a result, and results are what matter, and if you’re waiting for quality to factor significantly into that equation, I’ve got some bad news about the last 40 years of professional software development for you.
