A major event in my life this week. I ate an octopus. It was at this Oriental buffet place, and I got some of this and that, one of them was a sort of seafood stew. When I got back to the dining table, I noticed there was this octopus in it. Not very big, but an octopus. First I offered it to my grandsons, but they declined. I then offered it to my daughter-in-law, but she said she'd already eaten hers, and it was kind of chewy. My son was still out at the steam-tables.

So I said to myself: “Self! How bad can it be?”

And there was only one way to find that out. So I ate it.

Kinda chewy. Almost rubbery. Not bad, though. Not great, but not bad. So … now I've eaten an octopus. Golly.

 

I'm sure you've noticed the controversy about Artificial Intelligence being the Doom of Us All. And yet nobody seems worried about Natural Stupidity, which is Mighty Indeed. Here is another article: Former Google Exec Warns That AI Researchers Are “Creating God”. I finally decided the yes/no position depends upon what Ayn Rand called “sense of life”. Those of us with a benevolent sense of life aren't worried about AI, whereas those with a malevolent sense of life are terrified (“them artificial intelligences will be just like me! Aaaaiiiii!”). I could be wrong, of course. At any rate, we shall surely find out Real Soon Now.
