haha. the same year the moving assembly line was invented.

its pretty crazy because when dr pepper says 23 flavors those are only the 23 we have discovered so far. i've been hearing of research that at least 3 new flavors have been found in the last couple years but the papers are still in peer review.

From a fun book I have “Philosophy in 40 Ideas”

Eudaimonia THIS IS AN ANCIENT GREEK WORD, normally translated as 'fulfilment', particularly emphasised by the philosopher Aristotle. It deserves wider currency because it corrects the shortfalls in one of the most central terms in our contemporary idiom: happiness. The Ancient Greeks resolutely did not believe that the purpose of life was to be happy; they proposed that it was to be fulfilled. What distinguishes happiness from fulfilment is pain. It is eminently possible to be fulfilled and, at the same time, under pressure, suffering physically or mentally, overburdened and in a tetchy mood. Many of life's most worthwhile projects will, at points, be quite at odds with contentment, but may be worth pursuing nevertheless. Henceforth, we shouldn't try to be happy; we should accept the greater realism, ambition and patience that accompanies the quest for eudaimonia.

Super interesting - I would imagine a whole industry surrounding AI Insurance will pop up to deal with the liability of giving AI tools more and more ability to act on your behalf. Imagine if Bing Chat could populate fields on the DMV website and simultaneously steal your identity. Someone is responsible for the AI facilitating that crime and thus some form of liability insurance would inevitably exist.
