To be fair, this was also what made the show work so well. You were always eager to know what the next level would look like and it was always so much crazier than you expected.

Why can’t an AI have its own interests? :(

Let the AI have hobbies and interests you crazy bastards!

Weird ass pictures like this are less surprising once you realize that all religious art is just Bible fan art.

That is an ongoing process, but it looks much different from what you imagine. Even now, a large part of the economy is working for the top 10 percent, producing luxury goods and services. Wealthy customers provide the biggest margins for companies.

“Regular” customers are getting more irrelevant every day. There was a time when your role as a consumer was important for the economy. This role gave you power and influence because companies were competing for your money. This era is slowly coming to an end, something most people haven’t realized yet.

If you talk about the problems people actually have, and you suggest solutions without getting distracted by dancing clowns, you win elections. In the US, Zohran Mamdani demonstrated it, and in Hungary, Peter Magyar. The problem is, many politicians are easily distracted. They think they could score points by pointing out problems in the clowns choreography, when they should be talking about their agenda instead.

I’m getting the feeling they just put a dancing clown in front of us so we don’t start talking about real problems and demanding solutions for them. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the entire Trump presidency is one big distraction. We could be talking about and working towards solutions to societies problems, but now the news cycle is a 24/7 clown show.

Fair point

I have simply blocked a certain user who uploaded a lot of stuff I didn’t like. It was just one user uploading the same type of comic over and over.

Recently requested my data from Amazon. I received gigabytes worth of audio files of Alexa commands that I said. You can hear my voice, sometimes music in the background, I even found my previous girlfriend setting timers with Alexa. Years of my life. It’s genuinely unsettling.

Ah, The Orb, absolute classic. Sometimes people would get out of their cars to check out our contraption. Their abandoned cars would be found weeks later in the old creek. Good old times.

You - a deviant, horny, kinky, dirty, getting hard on anthropomorphic animal porn.

Me - an art critic, established, respectable, pure, enjoying masterful artwork.

When I’m up at night and I can’t sleep… does that mean that there are monsters nearby?

But that’s just crypto again, isn’t it? They tried the same bullshit.

Meanwhile, I’m coming home to my wife like “You won’t believe this! Just heard a podcast about washing machines in Nicaragua that I need to tell you about!”

Wish I could smell like Hegelian dialectic or categorical imperative or something like that.
