AI for people who can pay attention ...

The dude uses an AI program on a PDP 11.
To get there, he had to explain what it was doing.
Basically, just guessing and setting value, then guessing again. Repeat until your guess is mathematically accurate ... meaning it gives you the right answer.
Then, he shows the code that does it.
I found the PDP 11 a bit of a distraction but there were bits in his rambling that were insightful.
(1) AI isn't anything new. It's just being done on a scale it's never been done before.
(2) Tinhead doesn't know the answer, it's just guessing with the least wrong evaluation.
(3) Word position is important to the model.
I would love to see it in GWBasic over PDP Assembler language but it's not my garage..
(4) Kill the Tinheads now before they figure out about least significant digits.
(5) It's not a Hot Water Heater. Why would you heat Hot Water? Know were your "IR googles" are, you'll need them. Inside joke (not Alphabet's Google) about regs in Battle Born being written by poor typists. Ed note added for clarity for our vast viewership.
