Hey, give the guy a break -- he didn't get to finish his sentence! "...unless they choose to do so, by deciding not to die first." C'mon, you can't get more Christian than that.

Hmmm. Feel free to point out where I said all AI is bad. I'll wait here.

But I do expect toddlers to do not just college-level math, but to be able to solve the stickiest mathematical problems ever imagined. Just like I expect AI to be perfect from the get-go, and not drag its sorry ass through some ridiculous "learning curve".

Why yes, as a matter of fact I did force my kids on everyone the way they are with AI, whatever you think that means. I hope that clears things up for you.

There's a point there, all right. Just not the one you think I'm making. And it's not about kids.

It's almost like a few years into its existence AI has yet to become 100% perfect. Better throw it all out, like I did with my twins at the same age. For f*cks sake, they couldn't even solve the Riemann hypothesis!

It's the same with my investigations in the history of laws. I mean, up until Hammurabi it's all "Thog kill Muck, so Thog die too." Utter rubbish. Usually I can find *something* interesting to take away from them, even if it's intentional comedy.

Trying to sour 'Murica on The Boss won't go well in the long run. Sure, there's a few knobgobbling cultists who fall in lockstep but the vast majority hold Saint Bruce as permanent (& true) Royalty.

Verizon doesn't hire people, they hire companies like Alorica that employ dozens of poorly trained, otherwise unemployable for starvation wages and no benefits. Ain't capitalism fun?

"rips" Extreme verbs don't help our cause. If our "leaders" actually did these verbs, we'd have already won back the country. Inigo Montoya is not happy.

Pissants, all y'all. Their entire output, 1974-1981, is absolutely essential. Just like weed. And, yes, Playboy and masturbation.

"Extremely scary" Unless of course you recall Rule 34 and remember that "Villains Gonna Villain" and "Men Will Be Men" and "Internet Equals Anonymity", in which case you understand this was going to, and will definitely continue to, happen.

"WOW," he said, looking at the chart showing a range between 0.0% and 0.5% *per year*, "that would be alarming if it weren't the equivalent of a rounding error!"
