@darius What Does It Mean To Be An Artist In A Post-Mark World

@darius every good AI business loves a mark! Why, when they look at their users, they see a bunch of potential marks looking back at them.

@darius I think this is actually how my company has gotten by with all the other Dans we’ve had over the years

@darius also announcing our financial pricing service add-on: Mark-to-market

@darius Here at Dan Co. we understand nuance. That's why we've locked three advanced Mark's we call Dan's in a room. Need an answer? Ask the Dan's, and they'll each come up with an answer, and then give you the ones that overlap! It's out patent pending Degrees-of-Dan as an indicator for the confidence of your answer!

@darius Big Monty Python Australian philosophy department feels here

@darius This immediately reminds me of a sketch from a now mostly-forgotten comedy show called "Almost Live!" that just happened to be Bill Nye's first TV show.

They had a parody commercial for "Apple Keith". It's a new product from Apple. In addition to a top of the line Mac LC II, they'll also sell you...Keith! Keith will use your Mac for you so you don't have to waste your time. You can upgrade to Apple Leonard. Leonard buys his own granola.

@darius I'm not investing till I see your no-Wahlberg policy in writing.

@darius …you hiring?

@darius Absolutely applying for this Mark job.

@darius if you get enough marks in a room with some reference material, maybe they can convincingly simulate the communications of a dude also named mark but he speaks a second language.

@darius I know more guys named mark than questions I have. This could work.

@darius So there was this service called Ask Jeeves...

@darius
1. On your Marks.
2. Get set.
3. Search.

@darius @janellecshane one time i was collaborating with our head of design about chatbot interfaces. and we decided to set aside implementation and learn how folks would interact with a chatbot when it was maximally human. so i was the chatbot for the day. i would field any movie question that my coworkers had.

it occurs to me i never asked the head of design if she wrote up any findings from that 🤔 but it was fun!

@darius every time I get mad about issues with our library catalog, I’m like “shut it all down, people can call me if they need to know about a book”

@darius $3.50 an hour. That's all I can afford to pay.

@darius mansplaining as a service is already cornered by chatGPT.
