@simon Your toot about #generativeAI made me curious, Simon, so I looked up the "bicycles for the mind" #quote by #SteveJobs.
Am sharing in case anyone else is curious too!
The text wouldn't fit so here's a screenshot, for those of you looking for inspiration today. :)

1. Screenshot of the famous "bicycle for our minds" quote by Steve Jobs, taken from the Marginalian website formerly called Brainpicker. The quote says: "I think one of the things that really separates us from the high primates is that we’re tool builders. I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. And, humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing, about a third of the way down the list. It was not too proud a showing for the crown of creation. So, that didn’t look so good. But, then somebody at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle. And, a man on a bicycle, a human on a bicycle, blew the condor away, completely off the top of the charts. And that’s what a computer is to me. What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.” ~ Steve Jobs"
