The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to embrace AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works – who are most eager to adopt it.

            Drag was being silly because you were being silly.

            Also, the half life of methane in the atmosphere is 9 years. You think that’s incredibly fast? Interesting, guess some people perceive time a lot faster.
