        I sent some questions about AI's (and us) being able to "eff
the ineffable" to Henry Klein, the producer taking the questions for
this webcast. I had Questions like what will/should an AI reply if
asked if it knows what salt tastes like. He responded immediately
with excitement about my "effing" questions and said:

        I'm looking forward to see if this comes up in the actual
webcast.

        Thanks, hal, for this pointer.
