as if it makes any difference whether the universe runs on (...) Microsoft Excel

Okay but it is very spiritually important for me to not be that, please.

It’s genuinely fascinating and mind blowing that coherent language emerges from it

No.

It's fascinating and mind-blowing that we made pieces of silicon do math with electrons, I can give you that as a baseline reason for awe, we needed quantum physics to get to that point. But once that is established, plausible word combinations (which we've had since fucking 1960s with ELIZA) are... rather low on the awesomeness spectrum?

A good analogy is the GPS. The fact that it works at all is an amazing feat, it's based on hunks of metal we sent to orbit and works correctly only because we understood relativity. What is not fascinating or mind-blowing is that you used it to draw a dick with a cycling app.

There are genetic traits associated with intelligence.

Which is obviously true, since the genetic traits of BEING A HUMAN quite strongly correlate with intelligence.

There's no way to say the quiet part without saying it out loud here!

If you put GPUs into an MRI it would definitely be a sight to behold.

I am not an expert, but I did take a couple of semesters of history, and I find him rather annoying.

I am not an expert, I didn't take any history, and I find him a twat.
