The concept
It's a box that contains a receipt printer and an interface with several buttons. A user would press a button that reflects their emotional state (happy, sad, anxious, etc.), then the machine prints out a more-or-less appropriate poem on a receipt printer, beautifully formatted and embellished with simple artwork.
It could be occasionally repurposed for certain themes, like Pride Month to print out queer poems.
I want to place it someplace public and well-trafficked, like Dolores Park or on Castro Street.
Feedback
I like poetry. The idea of a (free) vending machine that gives me a poem to uplift my day excites me. But I wonder if this appeals to others enough to be worth fully realizing. I don't want to spend time and money building something that'll go totally unloved.
Also curious about anti-vandalism measures or ideas. I'm sure some jerk will try graffiti-ing it or peeing on it.
Lastly, anyone interested in collaborating?

Asking for a friend. 😉
In all seriousness, the question was inspired by the news out of Google and specifically @Whom's comment here.
What should non-technical laypeople know about AI?
The info doesn't have to be limited to just this particular news item either. What information would you want included in an AI 101 rundown? What is it currently used for? What will it do in the future? What are its limitations? What are its potentials?
And, of course, how should people interpret stuff like today's big news item?

like, say I've invented a magic trick that I don't know how it's done. What is my moral obligation to report novel phenomena? If a divine singularity spontaneously opens up in my living room, or in my kidney, and somehow I harness it and taught myself to fly -- do I have to tell people, or do we think it would be too scary? It seems really obscene and disruptive to announce something so premise-shattering. Shouldn't I labor in secrecy? Do I have to expose my abilities to some sort of mandate before I can start?

How the heck do these work? I've cobbled together the script below for my bot (using Limnoria) to return the F1 standings in a line. Right now it returns the first value perfectly, but I can't figure out the loop to get the other drivers at all.
The script
import supybot.utils as utils from supybot.commands import * import supybot.plugins as plugins import supybot.ircutils as ircutils import supybot.callbacks as callbacks import supybot.ircmsgs as ircmsgs import requests import os import collections import json try: from supybot.i18n import PluginInternationalization _ = PluginInternationalization("F1") except ImportError: _ = lambda x: x class F1(callbacks.Plugin): """Uses API to retrieve information""" threaded = True def f1(self, irc, msg, args): """ F1 Standings """ channel = msg.args[0] data = requests.get("https://ergast.com/api/f1/2022/driverStandings.json") data = json.loads(data.content)["MRData"]["StandingsTable"]["StandingsLists"][0]["DriverStandings"][0] name = data["Driver"]["code"] position = data["positionText"].zfill(2) points = data["points"] output = ", ".join(['\x0306\x02' + name + '\x0303' + " [" + position + ", "+ points + "]"]) irc.reply(output) result = wrap(f1) Class = F1The output should be
VER [1, 125], LEC [2, 116], PER [3, 110], RUS [4, 84], SAI [5, 83], HAM [6, 50], NOR [7, 48], BOT [8, 40], OCO [9, 30], MAG [10, 15], RIC [11, 11], TSU [12, 11], ALO [13, 10], GAS [14, 6], VET [15, 5], ALB [16, 3], STR [17, 2], ZHO [18, 1], MSC [19, 0], HUL [20, 0], LAT [21, 0]...but it only returns
VER [1, 125]I'm in that state where I can read the stuff, but when I put it together, it doesn't always work.
