Lovely piece. > Maybe it’s just me, but I find it kind of sad to think that you got buried in a grave with no headstone, no marker, no indication of who you were. I appreciate this melancholy - even a compassionate wistfulness. Conversel

Agree. I suppose I should clarify that I am aware that the incident was from '82 and that LDTs are no longer admissible in many jurisdictions, and new legislation came in for tamper-proofing medicine which affected not just the US. But

Thank you, really insightful. Will listen to those episodes, thanks. You really honed in on the crux of my questions actually - Your original comment immediately made me think of shamans and prophets from an evolutionary biology and anthrop

I think the 'authority' was referring to the Lady not the Voice. I interpret as "You were in an amenable state (consciously and subconsciously) for her to rewrite your software". Edit: I have a couple of questions, if yo

Does gait recognition (and body tics / unique movement style) not make this moot? My sense is that facial recognition is a stop-gap and soon to be superseded, because the tech is there for more holistic 'reads' of a person -

I see those as the lazy ones that are the tip of the iceberg. A non-zero amount will even be intentionally lazy (analogous to the Nigerian Prince theory), or to get feedback from people flagging them. I think the sensible assumption is that

This is a compelling use case for AI, and a solution that was sorely needed. - If you refer to it as '(payables) bills' not '(receivables) invoices' it will tie in more neatly with your customers' payables departmen

May I add: 6) Any anti-AIcorp legislation (that the current incumbents may encourage, which does not affect themselves) - legislative barriers to entry? I am not convinced they have truly managed this yet - It is a concern of mine though.
