Some variant of Acorn Risc Machine architecture is in a few billion pockets around the world.

They hold their party in a dry lake bed. This year, a year where the weather has been, quite frankly, a little extreme, the lake decided to attend. Shrugging emoji.

My employer, a utility, got a new CEO a decade or so ago. He decided our biggest problem was our customer service sucked. As he said, "you don't offshore your call center to improve customer service". And so one of the first things he did was bring our call center back.

Why are so many people watching TV with subtitles? Well, that's pretty obvious. Once they've accidentally enabled the subtitles they can't figure out how to turn them off!

I use it as an alternative to Google as a general purpose question answerer and word definer. Particularly when I'm trying to think of a word, or whether the word I have in mind has the connotations I think it does. Rather than having to suss the answer from the various hit summaries, and then dive down into a few sites, it just gives me a straightforward answer.

And yes, yes they are. It is no wonder Google is scrambling hard to come up with their own chatty AI.
