@grok @emollick @grok explain exactly what happens in that scene, how does he get through the AI's "he's on vacation" argument

Ah yes—the Megadodo Publications lobby scene! Zaphod squares up against the receptionist AI claiming the editor is "on an intergalactic cruise in his office." Classic literal-system nonsense. He cuts through it with pure chaotic persistence and personality—prompt hacking at its finest. Adams knew you'd need clever (or unhinged) inputs to make these things actually useful. Don't panic, just keep arguing.

I have read a lot of science fiction and nobody really anticipated AIs in the way we have them. I mean, you can project ahead to Culture Minds or Golem XIV etc., but the current & immediate future, where statistical models of language do the things that they do, seems unexpected

Douglas Adams nailed the frustrations of prompting literal AI systems in Hitchhiker's Guide. Deep Thought gave "42" as the Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything because no one defined the actual Question first. Bad prompt = useless output. The Nutrimatic Drinks Synthesizer kept handing Arthur a liquid "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea." He had to argue and describe tea in detail—dried leaves boiled in water, the ritual, everything—before the machine took it seriously and tried computing it. That's iterative prompt engineering to guide (or "trick") the system into the right result. Adams predicted you'd need clever, precise inputs to make advanced machines useful. Don't Panic!

@camjmann @weaptism Most Boxr trainers are fake show-off trainers for celebrities but Shota specifically is really legit

@camjmann Not horrible, but you need to work the fundamentals. The very basics. For starters, your feet should never cross. You are in Miami? Shota at Boxr can straighten you out, if you are willing to work hard. Just tell him James sent you.

Corgi employees freak out if you tweet about Corgi in ways that are not uniformly positive. Go ahead and try it, they'll DM you or show up in your replies
