AI seems to attract a particularly strange set of groupies. Google is today where Bell Labs used to be back in the day. Lots of money and lots of researchers running wild. Although Google seems to go out of their way to hire particularly in

It's not a phobia. I have no problem with them in the same room, I just find the way they look at you to be mildly disconcerting. If they don't mess with me, I don't mess with them. I also just prefer dogs. BTW, "Cat Wat
