    It’s terrible that we have to live in two different realities, the market reality and then the one the rest of us all have to live in.

      I once made a CEO a bit unhappy by describing the stock market as socially acceptable gambling, every day I’m proven more and more right.

    What unique thing does a shoe company bring to “AI”?

    ETA: We’re getting quality puns here; I’m just surprised it would be this thread.
