I was already intrigued by the products mentioned in this article [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/28/world/asia/india-goa-gin.html], but now they've really got me.

This is like the rule for papers: if you come up with a clever enough system name, you have no choice but to implement it and write a paper about it. You can't squander those 10 seconds of good thinking — have to spend 10 months to make it real.
@shriramk @dan @ricci @keithpjolley Ooh, potential application of ChatGPT. "Find me an an acronym for my research project." Need to give this a try.
@dwallach @shriramk @dan @keithpjolley I love the idea. Not going well so far though.
@dwallach @keithpjolley @ricci @shriramk Whew, our jobs are safe.
