Can't wait to share @a16z's latest video tomorrow. Before Alexa, before Siri, before Cortana, there was the OG digital assistant Clippy—and we've got the unauthorized biography.
@stevesi shares memories, lore, archival footage about your fave animated paper clip.pic.twitter.com/1C8oDlugBI

Looking forward to it. When we were building Siri, many investors scoffed at the concept of Siri, saying that Clippy proved that it would be a disaster.

Norman, indeed! In building #TheIntelligenceAmplifier, this one is Alfred. I too pay homage to Clippy. It is now a neuronal response. Here I am letting Alfred know he is getting a bit Clippy. As the next generation we shall carry the Clippy torch forward!https://twitter.com/brianroemmele/status/1118628017759080448?s=21/1118628017759080448?s=21 …

On my journey yesterday Alfred cracked me up.
I built a range of human expressions in #TheIntelligenceAmplifier
I studied Bob/Clippy quite deeply and there is really much to learn from the products. Directly & indirectly.
I think @stevesi would appreciate it the Clippy humor. pic.twitter.com/yzXi8pvLiE
