- kergonath 3y agoLet us reimplement love in Rust from first principles to solve this inconvenience. Nothing can go wrong, it’ll be so disruptive and innovative.

- cm2012 3y agoSenile people are going to love the AIs of 10 years from now, I guarantee you. Once it has perfect audio control and responses, it's going to be like the perfect friend for an old person.
