This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    Just to annoy people, I'd like to run a research program to create an AI that's not just unfriendly but a Grade A jerk. Looking for $10.1mm

        @vgr I'll team up with you to create a sociopath AI. Plenty of people in the tech industry to model it after. :D
