HAP--

Lol. Every article about the latest horrifying thing AI has done features a quote from an expert like "This is clearly a very serious problem, and must be addressed urgently. This will kill people. I am still very fond of AI and believe it has some great applications, but--"

I used to be able to bite my own neck.

This was a thing I was known for, in a local sense, to hundreds of people. They would spot me in public, with a telltale expression, as they whispered to gathered friends before inevitably approaching me and asking me to do it for them. Happened many times.

(2/2) I can give you a very basic overview of the plot, ideas.

But the only line I remember to *any* extent is when he's listing different thoughts and mentions to someone they can arrange their parking lot more efficiently.

That's it! That's all I recall, for some reason. More parking spaces.๐Ÿ˜…

(1/2) One of those small phenomena (ha) I find interesting -- how you can watch a movie, and only remember one or two scenes specifically, or maybe a line of dialogue, and it's... so random!

Like, I know at some point 20+ years ago I watched the John Travolta movie, Phenomenon.
