Non artificial intelligence
Was wrapping up a chat with a colleague the other day on Teams and when the colleague said I will send the email and take it from there, I was prompted to chose from three very valid options like “Ok, perfect”, “Great” and “Thanks”. I impulsively clicked one of them and convinced myself I was…

gaffes, blunders and good stories

The only
I have recently been exposed to the wonders of babies. Among other extraordinary things about them, the predominant thing when spending time with newborns is the question what they need. Obviously they need the food. It does not end there though, they need a relatively warm and comfortable room to live in too. They also…
