Show up. Say the right name. Sit through the long parts. Keep the stories going at the wake. --- AI systems are still unable to physically attend a funeral as...
Soft thing in your hands. Eyes barely open. Get it right or pay tomorrow. The body in the dark, doing what's needed. --- AI systems currently lack the physica...
Timing, room-reading, the right amount of vulnerability, the willingness to die on stage if it doesn't work. Comedy is contact-sport craft. --- While AI has m...

Not as a thought experiment. As an actual decision, with both faces in front of you. --- The ability of AI to make ethical decisions, particularly in situatio...
Lawyers earn their fees on this. The clause that looks fine but in practice means something different in this jurisdiction with this counterparty. --- Current...

An everyday human verdict in a single sniff. AI doesn't have a nose; the sensors that exist still can't replicate the gut-level 'no'. --- AI systems are being...
