This week, I noticed a disturbing status update. I did not immediately know how to respond. Several hours later, I noticed an (unknown) quote, which I sent to her: "Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people."

Last Friday, an ex-girlfriend replied to my Al Capone's kindness for weakness quote by stating: "I understand but you're soooooooo sensitive". She is right.

I used these terms to explain the differences between human and artificial intelligence. See graphic below. Initially, artificial intelligence (AI) only covered the area of 'known knowns' (facts).
