All AI-generated. Amazing, it looks so real. It sounds exactly like Richard Feynman speaking. AI even created the lecture.

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Benda!
Just remember: what horses consider play, monkeys consider business, but to Tom it’s all foolery.
Re: Feynman on Train Wheels
Mr. Firefly, have you read the book you allude to?
Does anyone reading this post know who Richard Feynman is?

Yes. Also, "Genius" and "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out"

Ah!
Some of the things he said did not make sense. For example, "I would be riding my bicycle, and some lady would be driving in her car and get in the way, and I'd say, 'PUzzta a la maLOchke!'--and she'd shrink! Some terrible Italian boy had cursed a terrible curse at her!"
Transition: Stinks to high heaven!
Really? That is a curse for an Italian?
Edit 1: Oh! Suddenly, I get it (40 years after I read the book
.) The lady was not Italian. She did not know what the kid was saying, but it sounded like a curse.

I do - he's the Feynman of Feynman Lectures on Physics fame.
Others might remember him from that congressional hearing when he wanted to demonstrate that the Space Shuttle's O-rings would fail in cold temperatures... so he dunked a sample into ice water.

Yup. He did that since they buried his opinion in the back appendix of the report.
