Developments in neural network technology

Jo Rainbow of Orange reckons that “another benefit of AI (C8) is to ask ridiculous questions, such as ‘Who put the Ram in Rama Lama Ding Dong’, ‘Could a hamster win MasterChef’ and ‘Who can take their undies off over their head?’ Then watch the algorithms implode.”

“My granddaughter, along with dozens of other future lifesavers started Nippers [on Sunday], all dressed up in their rashies and little ‘Strop’ caps tied under their chin”, says Carolyn Lockett of Coffs Harbour. “After the water safety drill came the flag race (where 10 five-year-olds race across the sand vying for nine pieces of hose half buried in the sand, meaning one doesn’t get a flag. At the end of the race, one little boy noticed this and quickly reburied his flag in the sand so that the slowest runner got to grab it. Human empathy! The tech bros may have all the money, but this is something money can’t buy.”

“Just heard a message on Channel Seven about the ‘Rugba’ League World Cup (C8),” advises Bernie Carberry of Connells Point. “Apparently we can ‘watch it live and free on Seven or 7two’. This ancient maths teacher reckons that’s Nine. I’m confused. What channel?”

David Baird of Burradoo adds to the sporting landscape: “Apropos sports commentary (C8), it’s hard to go past Rex Mossop’s ‘I’d like to recapitulate back to the beginning’, and the great ‘Rabbits’ Warren’s ‘He’s got a cramp, he’s definitely lactating.’ ” Jeffrey Gabriel of Gladesville thinks that “it’s only ‘versing’ if the Kangaroos and Kiwis engage in some slam poetry or maybe a rap battle this Thursday night” .

“Not sure about the Nobel Peace Prize, but maybe Trump should get the Nobel Hairpiece Prize,” ponders Don Leayr of Albury.
