Six or seven years ago I sent my friend Nick a gift subscription to an outdoors-life-type magazine as a gift. But I signed him up as “Fierce  Ballshaver”.
Nick has children now, and still receives junk mail regularly addressed to Fierce.

This algorithm-and-circuit innovation eciently mimics the way the mind functions, learns and evolves over time. And could help us understand the world in ways we can’t yet begin to comprehend.

Today we are all this little boy falling asleep while eating a chicken nugget in the First Class section of a plane flight from Cancun, Mexico to Baltimore, Maryland.
