Matt’s whole character is not about justice, it’s about Catholic guilt, or Matt’s sometimes failing faith in the law and in his community.

The best version of Matt is when he acts as a defense attorney. Daredevil is what happens when Matt loses his faith in his community and goes outside the law.

Shit. That’s brilliant. I wish it would work for the rest of us. If only we outnumbered them… Lol.

Yes. Lol. Not like anyone else will for much longer.

Lol.

Both men are gonna need to set up some kind of trust fund to pay for 24/7 guards to keep their graves piss-free.

I’ve already outlived, outclassed, and outdone both of them, just by achieving basic civility and being the kind of person my community actually likes to see walk into a room.

Yes!

And is Great Expectation: Tokyo Drift part of the same franchise? It wasn’t clear…

I agree it’s a mixed bag, but there’s still some Stephen Moffat episodes in there that are fantastic, though.

Oh shit! I don’t think those posters were being completely honest with me. $400k is more than $700.00.

Cue “the more you know” music. Lol.

I’m beginning to think it’s important for them that the compute power not actually come online, because no one with deep knowledge of LLMs really expects the new compute to make the AI any less stupid.

Aa long as the compute is still being built, they can keep making huge vague promises of what is coming soon.

Yes! I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to find “Gone Home” recommended. It’s a quick great and pretty chill game!

Yes. I hope we someday get so many sequels to “A Short Hike”!

Edit: Since the protagonist is a Penguin, it just begs for “A quick swim.”

Bullshit peddlers peddle bullshit.

The gap will widen until collective action makes it stop.

AI hallucination toys are just their latest scape-goat.

In fairness, the robot in the comic passes the turing test by spouting agile terminology and empty promises, much like some developers I’ve worked with.

I have have not had luck getting my kids to read consistently.

My two tricks for this are leaving out comic books (easier read, but same number of words, if they read long enough), and reading to them at bedtime (because it’s just time and attention, and they love that.)

On the bedtime reading, beware - they will interrupt constantly at first, because they want the extra attention more than they want the story to move along. Lol.

Edit: Oh! And weekly trips to the library. They get a dopamine hit from choosing and checking out books, and then they revisit that hit by reading the books later. I also let them pick something for me to read to them, if they’re interested in it, but afraid to try to read it.

Also, most libraries have comic books, often sorted by age appropriateness.

Yes. And Roomba “training” their image recognition AI, and plenty others.

That being said, do you really (and by “you” I mean all the lurkers as well) think this whole thing will backfire in the long run?

It’s backfiring now by deleting databases, overwriting important configuration files, and leaving sensitive information in the wild.

Now, I agree, AI isn’t going away: Like any other kind of massive fuck-up, by the time the current crop of suckers learn their lessons, there’ll be a new crop ready to make the same mistakes again.

It is fantastic, but OP should be sure to check some spoilers. It is also horrific.

Yes. And they desperately need stonk go up, because their life savings has been plundered by the Epstein class, multiple times.

But they’re too busy trying to stay afloat to think critically and do something real about it. Or too brain damaged by lead additives, in some cases.

Yes. It’s pretty close to a circle. The shared trait is getting suckered by a fast talking abuser.

Although - The giant trump yard sign in my community fell into disrepair.

Every time I see (what is left of) it, I’m guessing which demographic the owner is it, that Trump finally hurt badly enough to wake them up.

It could be anyone, really.

It’s wild to me that anyone ever thought a politician could be on their side, of anything, in this millennium. But I guess I’m glad that random ex-sucker is woke now.

So these guys in the trades jobs haven’t got long.

I too have incredibly sensitive hands.

But I pay a plumber because his track record of flooding my house is 0%, while my own flooding track record is… not 0%.

I learned that the 0% rate of flooding is the most important thing, to me personally, when it comes to plumbing work.

Don’t ask me how I learned that. It is neither interesting, nor hilarious, nor deeply embarrassing to me personally, or anything. It’s just my lived experience of doing my own plumbing.

There’s currently no credible evidence that the hallucinating problem in AI can ever be solved, at all.

AI does quick shoddy work. Some quick shoddy work by AI is easily fixed by a human (or fixed by a second AI for those feeling frisky and risky.) But some quick shoddy work by AI is instantly tragic, leaving no time for fixes. (As shown by any quick search for the words “AI” and “database”.)

I do agree that we will have robot plumbers available, soon.

If their work matches the quality of work done by AI coders, some houses are going to burn down.

Yes, I said “some” and “burn down.”.

Many houses will flood. That’s not the interesting bit. A few will manage to burn down. That’ll be novel and interesting to watch, for those of us not trying to live there.

I plan to stick with skilled human trades-people, myself.

Edit: And I want to point out that it’s a privilege to hire skilled humans, that I appreciate. We know some landlords are going to send in a bot with the words “fuck you, you flooded my home” graffitied on it, at every opportunity, because it’s slightly cheaper.

Yes. We need more worker owned cooperatives.
