Sorry about that, it should be fixed now. Can you please confirm?

Walking backward in time, Adam discussed the technical
history of Siri as well as how the vision of virtual
personal assistants evolved over time. He wowed the
audience with a video from 1987 on a concept from Apple
where predicted a Siri like device 24 years in the future
and was only off by 2 weeks.Re: The Story of Siri, by its founder [video]

Unfortunately brought 1980s gender prejudices with it. Siri and Cortana defaulting to female voices? Way to miss an opportunity, market leaders.

Pas mal! But lurking beneath France's crisp white egalitarian shell lies a deeply unequal, slime-ridden underbelly.
Still, every little helps.

I hadn't really thought about that. My wife is a feminist and it is one of the things that drew me to her. She has definitely helped me recognize these kinds of things in the past. And I have become more sensitive to this, but clearly I have a ways to go.
Thanks for bringing this up.

#10This video should be broadcasted to every politician remotely involved in industry, job creation, research or education (yes, that means probably all of them) to show how a succesful technology really is the (slow) product of an entire ecosystem combined with great minds of all kinds.
