Deep learning on a quantum blockchain.

Is VR not cool any more?

Hell no - why would you want to mimic something as lame as reality?  What a pointless use of good tech.
The new thing is real virtuality.

Nope.  VR is so 2014.

VR has been mocked as an old turkey for more than 25 years. Sam and Max Hit the Road, Beneath a Steel Sky...

AR was a big buzzword a few years back.
I think even block chain's time as the cure for all the world's ills has passed.
I really can't think what it is now.

Fourth monument to Emmett Till to be built in a decade. All previous ones were vandalized. This one will be bullet proof.

When they were taking down some of the Confederate memorials I remember people posting stuff (not here of course) about how if they were tearing down monuments to Martin Luther King that there would be riots in the streets.  I pointed out that MLK monuments and monuments to civil right's leaders are attacked all the time.

It's just stupidass to build something like that in Mississippi or Alabama.  Those boys are never going to get better.

Give us some meaningless buzzwords at least, or the broad sector in which it'd be applied. 

Neural networks? Quantum computing? Thingamajigs?

Fucking Neural networks. 

I do that.

Deep learning on a quantum blockchain.

That's interesting.

I've been told that Ahnuld has a rather peculiar accent when speaking German. Styrian?

Edit: He sounds a bit like my brother's father in law.  But he's from Upper Austria.

Also, Sachertorte vs. Twinkies? Had no idea PEZ was Austrian, though. I was expecting Manner cookies at some point.

[Syt]

Yeah, Styrian and Upper Austrian is not very far apart.

Yeah, no Mannerschnitten was weird. Would have substituted for SCHOKOSCHIRMCHEN

PEZ is indeed Austrian, and is named after peppermint, i.e. PfeffErminZ

I am allergic to the blockchain.
