Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Inuk's mom (who is an ex-girlfriend of mine) invited me to a small "Friendsgiving" gathering on Thursday evening. Because she assured me that it was going to be a very small gathering which meant lots of room for social distancing, I decided to go because I really had nothing else better going on. The gathering was indeed very small and consisted of six participants - me - Inuk's mom - Inuk's mom's new boyfriend - a female friend of Inuk's mom - another female friend of Inuk's mom - Inuk As I was chatting with Inuk's mom's new boyfriend (who is a really nice guy and for some reason decided to wear a kilt despite the fact that he's not Scottish), our conversation naturally turned to what we did for a living. As it turns out, Inuk's mom's new boyfriend works in AI research for Google. At this point I said, "Hey that's pretty cool! I actually operate a video game message board and one of our regular posters also works in AI research!" Of course, as we all know I'm referring to @legend Inuk's mom's new boyfriend then asked me the name of this person to which I respond with what I could remember of @legend's name. At this point he started to laugh and said "Of course I know him! In fact, I sent him an email for his birthday last week!" I immediately shot a PM to @legend just to confirm this connection and he confirmed it as well! Small world, eh? So that's my Friendsgiving story: Inuk's mom's new boyfriend and @legend know each other! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She pretty much acknowledges that Inuk is essentially my dog though if I'm going to do something significant with him (for example, he and I are driving to Florida for Christmas), I inform her out of courtesy.

legend Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Yeah it was a very unexpected connection The AI community isn't enormous but big enough that the odds that a random AI researcher you meet happens to know me (and knows me pretty well -- we hung out a lot during our PhD programs) is not especially likely!

He obviously has already replaced our leader with a machine. He's coming for us all and you know why? He's upset that he can't enjoy eating waffles with strawberries and whipped cream which are delicious because machines can't eat and we can. We will have to stop @legends diabolical scheme! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 What REALLY turned me off from wanting to engage with one of them was when she mentioned that she once moved to Hawaii to experience what it was like to live "paycheck to paycheck". Of course, she grew up in Kensington, one of the wealthiest of the DC suburbs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite a shock for her I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
