The history behind Artificial intelligence is surprisingly human for absolute beginners

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I tried this in Buenos Aires with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.

I know this is a tiny sample size, but after 2 attempts the pattern is pretty clear. When I keep the setup simple, I actually follow through.

Really good advice, and it feels doable. It reminds me of a very specific conversation near the train station.

I wonder how much of this depends on timing. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

Thanks for making it less intimidating.

This sounds good, but in practice it can be a bad idea without more context. The 3-minute rule is underrated. Naming things remains undefeated as the hardest problem.

That last line is excellent. I noticed the same thing in Mumbai.
