Accessing a key should always be throttled, and locked out if a threshold is reached.
Trump went from "climate change is a hoax" to "it's real, but caused by illegals farting".
"Crewed" sounds like "crude" when spoken, and "staffed" sounds awkward for reasons I don't wish to go into. "Piloted"? Gotta ponder that one...
Apple perhaps should make it easier to change the style so people can rotate when they get bored with one.
I thought the Windows "metro" tiling thing was cool, it just wasn't practical, or at least wasn't made practical. (With enough R&D perhaps it could.)
But Apple would make tiles with rounded corners to differentiate themselves.
Jobs famously quipped, I want people to want to lick it.
Gates: "640 vaginas ought to be enough for any porn."
skeumorphism is when Jonny Ive took a big hairy shit on your screen...
But it wasn't ordinary shit, it was translucent glowing shit.

Manned missions have always been a budgeting headache because they take a lot of money, a lot of time, and a consistent Congress, the last one rarer than the Holy Grail. US unmanned probes are more often on budget and have been quite successful overall.
("Manned" sounds misogynistic, but "humanned" and "peopled" sound awkward.)
...why focus on just AI? Liars have been around since the dawn of speech, and long before that if we include creatures who mock sounds and looks to trick prey.
But it will generate generations of buzzwords for salespeople to dupe clueless managers with. It's a sales efficiency algorithm. It's like greatly improving on a traveling salesperson algorithm, but by using deeper bullshit instead of better routes.
Hypercard influenced VB, one of the most most productive dev tools ever. We somehow de-evolved into bloated buggy learning-curve-heavy web stacks. Ooga Booga.
Most of the complaints about VB-like tools are fixable, but too few bothered to apply some R&D, instead throwing the baby out with the web water, giving us fucked up frameworks on top of the brain-damaged DOM and CSS. You humans are doing it wrong.
Git off my productive lawn, you wormy little buzzword fuckers!
One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
