Using all my willpower to not wade into a thread by a man who realised that men's language is testament to women having the status of property and animals. Gee wiz. You'll *never* guess who could have (and likely did) told you that already. But yeah, brilliant discovery there, Mister Sir.

Instead of just bitching about it, here's some ways to tell that this is AI if you DON'T know it's an overused AI cat meme, sheepified: - Why is the focus so odd? Look at the text especially, including the one on the board outside. - Look at the foreground. What's going on with that table(?)

I've long theorised that Hollywood's obsession with plot structure and disregard for characters comes from the material and social structure of LA making it very hard to get to know anyone properly. People are peons in a vast inhuman system. Silicon Valley is the same, minus the humanities.

Thanks to comics, I taught myself to read when I was 3 and could read anything fluently before school started. Those comics were appealing because they were clearly made by humans telling me something though. I'm not sure a house full of AI content would have had the same result.

Oh boy. Okay. I am going to respond earnestly and genuinely, because I totally understand why this would seem like a contrary concept! Many librarians, educators, and guardians want to encourage their kids to read more, but don't see how graphic novels might help. Let's talk about it!

Gute Politik müsse bürgernah sein. „Da lässt sich auch nicht komplett ausschließen, dass eine der schillerndsten Clan-Gestalten mal eben durch das Abgeordnetenhaus stolziert“, sagte GdP-Sprecher Benjamin Jendro. „Issa Rammo ist ein freier Mann. Aus Jendros Sicht muss sich die Linke fragen: „Warum ziehen wir denn solche Leute an? Und wie gehen wir gegen so etwas vor?“

I'd also like to add that disliking this movie is a very very bad sign. The only way to dislike it is via lack of empathy, imagination and/or curiosity *at best*. I would genuinely try to avoid people who hated it. Or worse, bothered to write a negative review.

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

They could animate the whole shebang. It would be good for budget, good for writing. Hell, hand every episode to a different studio and keep the voice cast the same. Let Aardman do a story arc finale so they have time. Too brave?

TODAY'S COMIC: Someone! www.sheldoncomics.com/comic/someone/
PANEL 1: A tubby, bald man wearing a white collared shirt, with a blue and orange striped tie, holds a AR-type riffle with one hand, shooting into the air. The bright yellow light casts harsh shadows on him.
MAN: Please! Someone stop this weapon that I’m clearly shooting!

PANEL 2: The man bends over to reload the weapon with a “KLAK” sound.
MAN: The weapon keeps reloading itself, with SERO INVOLVEMENT FROM ME!

PANEL 3: The man continues to shoot in to the air.
MAN: I have no agency here! Nothing that I could do —SAY WITH MY OWN FINGERS — could end this!

PANEL 4: The man, still shooting the gun, turns his back, still yelling over his shoulder.
MAN: WHY IS NOBODY STOPPING THIS THING I KEEP DOING???
On the back of his shirt reads: LITERALLY EVERY A.I. COMPANY.
