The funny thing was that computers haven’t changed much except that he doesn’t have as much room on his desk for his feet. That’s why I don’t worry about AI. (that and the fact I just retired)

Reading your notice has reminded me of a certain Batman TV movie starring the late great Adam West. I especially remembered how that movie ended.
But, I’m sure everything will be fine. After all, everyone there speaks English, right…?
