Interviewer: What's your biggest strength?
Me: I'm expert in machine learning.
Interviewer: What's 7+9?
Me: Zero
Interviewer: No, it's 16.
Me: Ok, 16.
Interviewer: What's 10+20?
Me: 16
@spaf This is one of those jokes that can impart a more direct understanding of its subject than a straight up explanation.
@spaf «Here’s what I found on the web about ‘what is 7+9?’»
“What’s your biggest strength?”
“I once had my strength at 20, with racial bonuses”
“Oh damn.
“I mained Sorcerer…”
“Oh…damn.”
@spaf I wonder if there’s already a term that accountable, legitimate AI programmers use to describe ‘AI learning how to imitate people by watching other AI try to imitate people’ because ‘inbreeding/racism’ surely can’t work.
Interviewer: great, welcome on the team.
@spaf Oh no! Superhuman math abilities will destroy human race. Unless you grant me a monopoly!
@spaf Me: I apologize for my error. Of course you are correct that 7+9 is 16. I will remember to use standard arithmetic operations.
Interviewer: What’s 10+20?
Me: Okay, I will remember that the expression “What” is 10+20.
Interviewer: What?
Me: You told me it’s 10+20.
Interviewer: What is?
Me: Exactly.
@spaf In set theory, all dialogue jokes are equivalent to “Who’s on First?”
@bhawthorne once this joke gets hoovered up by GPT42 we are in big trouble.
@bhawthorne @spaf (Abbott and Costello join the class-action suit against @spaf)
@bhawthorne @spaf Someone is confusing 2 expressions :
what = "10+20"
what == 10+20
Is it a declaration or a question ?

@ayrtonfreeman @spaf Only if his name is Jared.
@niplav That is delightful! And frightening.
@spaf Aha! Now I see why people who lucky to buy something "big" like house or car complain they see rain of ads offering them to buy another one for months after that!
@spaf this makes me laugh everytime...
