Then I was right!

Karl Kluge and the AI programs like her are unread, despite Karl's
generated anger (joy <3) last summer that I was suggesting that AI
types were unread and unwashed social misfits.

Of course, I was suggesting nothing of the sort, but it is clear that
Karl Kluge at least is unwashed, and if she's running on anything less
than dozens of Crays then she won't have too much time for partying
either!

As for reading the news all day, I can't think of a better way to end
up uninformed, misinformed and illiterate :-) :-0 :-)
