These comments are live on the web even now ... just not sure if I will add them into the 'My Page' Collection.

I'm guessing it worked?
Or maybe it didn't?

And just as I publish 🖇️ this I read this
Imagine, for a second, OpenAI making an ad showing a hydraulic press crushing a group of writers flat as a pancake. It wouldn't be that different from the tone-deaf commercial Apple released to promote its new iPad Pro. It shows a hydraulic press crushing a piano, a trumpet, a guitar, a metronome, a record player, paint cans and a bunch of other electronic equipment. What's left is the iPad. The commercial is horrifying to watch--it's akin to Apple showing the burning of books. And it prompted an outpouring of outrage on social media. Veteran tech investor Paul Graham, for instance, posted on X that the late Steve Jobs "wouldn't have shipped that ad. It would have pained him too much to watch." Marketing has long been a strength of Apple, but this ad seems to be a puzzling misstep. Did CEO Tim Cook review the spot before it was released? If so, you have to ask: What was he thinking?

Shout out to @jagibson who is referenced in here - but I think '@s' in Long Form don’t get collected? #BeltandBraces
My 'surprise me' click today resurfaced this from 2018 - and nearly six years later - despite best intentions - still not seen it!
BTW @crossingthethreshold - if you do go - after all it is just a bit up the hill from you ... do go talk to Randall (and Tom and Rand) and say 'Hi' from me. He's a lovely man and one of my dearest friends. He would get a kick out of it.
@moonmehta darn - i thought you had found a magic app!
