In my day job, I talk about technology and potential a lot. One of the current main topics is AI.
Sometimes you need some extra oomph to get people in touch with the essence of a concept.
I used Peter Watts’ novella Malak recently to jog people’s intuition regarding black box models.

You’d be radiating (heat) in the infrared spectrum, and if the music makes your container walls vibrate, that vibration could be detected from the photons.

If you ask me, it’s a bit simplistic and Hollywood dumbed down in terms of how the multiverse works, but still better than those parody documentaries like “Cosmos”

[youtube]https://youtu.be/pjJEXkbeL-o[/youtube]Lei Feng is a cousin of Tom’s, a literary creation of Mao ZeDong’s personality cult’s staff writers.
Apparantly pretty much a random, if telegenic, member of the CCP, he was hit and killed by a telephone pole knocked down by a backing lorry. After his death, he was picked as one of Mao’s props, and his staff writers fabricated a series of diaries in which “Feng” lyrically expressed his adoration of Mao, his policies, the CCP, the Country, and his beloved Chinese people.
As is the case with another cousin, Jesus the Nazarene, with another massive narrative having obviously been fabricated posthumously around some random jerkoff who had the talent for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, none of this has quelled the adoration of the masses.
