[ExI] Seemingly Conscious AI Is Coming

[MB]

:)

spike, Adrian has not been married very many years.... give the marriage
some time, the "fat" question may arise.

I know my dad said that my mom was the most beautiful woman he knew, the
most beautiful woman of his whole life. He was happy to tell anyone that
bit of information.  They lasted well over 50 years together, and it was
death that ended things.

I kinda 'spect your bride has that same quality of beauty. :)

Regards,
MB
