>(type 3 in Chomsky's hierarchy)

*CRINGE* -- That didn't age well. ;)

Once you get past all the stuff about getting seduced by and sucking up to a pedophile, then giving him advice about handling media scrutiny:

- "Regular" doesn’t mean "safe", "simple", or "non-Turing complete"

- and it's dated because parsing theory moved on (and the hierarchy was always the wrong hammer)
