When we finally get superintelligence, I want it to explain to me what cats are thinking. Loki clearly wants something, but it isn’t clear what it is. He wants your attention, he wants to go outside, he wants to go somewhere not too far from the house, but he doesn’t seem satisfied with you just standing there, nor with you bending down to scratch him, nor with you going anywhere else.
What do you want, for me to just stand here, so you feel safe rolling in the dirt?
There’s no pleasing some people.
