So there is a joke in the USA that if you don’t have a girlfriend you pretend you have one. She’s always super pretty, but your friends can never meet her because she lives in Canada.
Well, this caused me to learn something today. One of my favorite musicals is Avenue Q, which has an entire song about a girlfriend who supposedly lives in Canada. And I keep seeing this reference - but I keep thinking there is NO WAY that THIS many people know about Avenue Q (which is a pity).
And sure enough, TIL that this trope dates back to at least the 70s and is references in multiple TV shows and movies and such.
So Avenue Q was using an existing thing. Ah, well.
At least I know not to make Avenue Q references since there’s little chance they’ll be gotten. lol
Let me guess, this super ai lives in Canada and we can never meet it, but it’s totally real.
You at give me another billion for data centers bro and you can meet it I swear bro just one more data center.
We do have a shitty ai data center up here, only about as super as a supermarket tho.
