I don't understand the reference? Is this from a movie or show, or some kind of over-the-top dialogue you're having between made-up characters in your head?

- hnbad 2y agoMy memory is hazy but I think it's a reference to a dialog in Doctor Strangelove Or How I Learned To Love The Bomb. EDIT: Found it. It's indeed from Doctor Strangelove: > TURGIDSON: I mean, we must be... increasingly on the alert to prevent them from taking over other mineshaft space, in order to breed more prodigiously than we do, thus, knocking us out in superior numbers when we emerge! Mr. President, we must not allow... a mineshaft gap! Explaining the context would spoil parts of the movie so I'll instead suggest watching it if you haven't.
- syockit 2y agoIt's also why the reference didn't land right, because the original dialogue was such a dad joke material, whilst "AGI gap" doesn't have the same punch.
