[FRIAM] the arc of ai (was Re: Whew!)

[glen ☣]

Heh, just in case you think my comments about my gratefulness or admission of my stupidity are somehow intended as ironic, I'll confirm they are NOT.  All y'all are way smarter than me.  And I am very grateful for your presence, interaction, tolerance, and the very existence of the forum.  I suppose that's the best I can do.  If anyone still reads my words as disingenuous, that's up to them.

Even if most people know what you mean, there will often be people who think you mean what you say.  I admit that I have occasionally used irony, such as when I mentioned that Ted Kaczinski is an alum of my alma mater.  In that case I was using reductio ad absurdum to argue the irrelevancy  of which celebrity went to what school.
