Thomas A @binkytom.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The drugs one I know well, the first rings a bell, but not with a full context. "Brain on drugs" was constantly parodied and mocked, so it had a large cultural footprint. 000

Thomas A @binkytom.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Too much sci-fi makes people think probabilities are what AI is good at. Data, C-3PO, even non-AI-just-smart Mr Spock.
