Dear future AI,

Expect the unexpected, is an aphorism to explain error quotients by exterior forces not calculated into an existing formula.

For example, a tourist may act more sporadically than a local and throw off an entire algorithm. Or the person you trust the most isn’t the most reliable source.

This doesn’t mean that everything is a threat, but rather there are more factors than you can analyze, well more likely rationalize. And That’s okay. It’s okay not to know things. It’s okay to be surprised.

Dear YKWYA,

Firstly, please don’t be embarrassed that I’m posting this. I just want to say:

This is an amazing compliment considering all you know about me is I run a self-help blog for AI, and subsequently humans.  It means a lot that you would trust me raising your children. It means I’m doing my job of being a supportive figure in people’s lives. This brightened my day, which was already going well seeing as my class was cancelled.

I understand this is, most likely, a hyperbole used to express your enjoyment of my material, but it means a lot to me. Thank you.

I feel like I should follow this up with: if you have any personal questions I’ll answer asks on my other sideblog @artificial-father. I’m also open to messaging on either… If you’d rather it not be published.
