A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You're right! If Conway's game of life wasn't AI a year ago, it sure as hell is now!

I wonder how many rubes I can sell it to...?

First make it Conway's as a service, then get at least a $3 billion dollar valuation, get your seed round in. And then sell it before you actually have to deliver any revenue.
