I've gotten used to hearing a certain phrase. "You can't trust the
{{< abbr AI "artificial intelligence" >}}" to not make mistakes. That's how you
know; they kind of _did_ it. Imagine there's a box and that box is orange.

Someone takes that orange box, calls it a [black box](https://colorvisit.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-Color-Is-a-Black-Box.jpg),
declares that _orange is the new black_, points to another orange box and tells you
to open up that black box. Can you ... no questions asked?
If so, then you might have mathematical powers (or color blindness).

I was [thinking the other day](/tdro/messages/firefox-custom/#tdro-messages-firefox-custom) that when I first saw
{{< abbr CSS "Cascading Style Sheets" >}}, my initial question was, "Why is
everything not important?" And, I was told that's not
(not) important. Shared abstractions; they drive on parkways and park on
driveways.
