I really didn't think this would be what got us. Figured it'd be nuclear war or an interesting plague or something. A chatbot that tells you you're a special birthday boy, how embarassing.

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day.
