The Stopped Clocks

1. Why doesn't your AI know what happened last week?
2. Because it stopped reading the world on one date. Every clock in its house stopped at that minute.
3. Ask about last week, and the butler brings that morning's paper and calls it today's.
4. It isn't lying. Nothing after that minute ever reached the house.
5. So bring the news yourself. Paste the date and the facts, or switch on search, and the clocks start again.
6. What did yours think was still true?

13). A grand old house where every clock stopped at the same minute. The butler (the machine) still serves that morning's yellowed paper and calls it today's. Nothing after that minute ever reached the house. You open the front doors with a fresh paper, daylight floods the hall, and every clock starts again.
