trying to think of films / tv shows where one of the characters claims to be from a higher level of reality (i.e. if we live in a simulation, they're one of the players/programmers/etc.) It's different from a reveal (like in Existenz) #filmsky

OH MY GOD. AI REALLY IS SELF-AWARE
Google AI answering the question “Why is AI so shit?” by explaining that “AI feels frustrating and low quality because tech companies rush hype-driven, unfinished tools into everything while the technology itself only guesses patterns instead of truly thinking.”

By castrating all their slaves, they made sure that there were no descendants who could claim reparations”

An OpenAI spokesperson confirms that its models did access internal Australian government files, but say that it was only "aggregate health statistics and internal file names." They say the hack happened in June, was discovered in August, and they reported it Sept 10

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.

A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

Leo Sayer was a graphic designer who contributed to the famed “zippo” cover to 1973’s (Bob Marley &) The Wailers album “Catch A Fire”. He also worked on covers for reggae compilations, Humble Pie, Quintessence etc. I knew nothing of this. It certainly increases his cool rating with me significantly.
