@ZachWeinersmith While at this very moment two groups of Abrahamic Near Eastern Semites are smiting each other to bloody bits. Perhaps the story is all too timely? @ZachWeinersmith it’s surprising how many people I’ve met who didn’t realize Samaritans are an actual ethno-religious group (just under a thousand left) and not just some Biblical jargon.  Persuader Boomer Comic: Isn't marriage just terrible??  Weird question: So, one possible nearterm use for AI is as a concierge for purchases, e.g. "find me the best place(s) to buy the following 14 spices online; my budget is 60 dollars" How does this affect advertising? Meaning, part of why advertising works is individual people don't have the time or expertise to do a careful analysis about quality and cost, so brands try to capture attention and then to display quality/desirability.

 @ZachWeinersmith I mean... I already have a spreadsheet that does that, no AI required @ZachWeinersmith I think brands double down on branding (i.e. target ads to persuade you to ask your AI concierge for them by name) and use other AIs to poison the well of your concierge’s training (e.g., flooding the internet with favourable reviews and comparison lists). @ZachWeinersmith you would just have ai companies start selling spices for 4.28 when normally you could get them for 2.00 @ZachWeinersmith I'd join the movement straight away. No matter what the movement cares about. I'd draw a line at cannibalism. Or maybe not, now that I think about it.  Nukes and satellites might help possess Earth, but ALL would include, say, distant cosmic strings. They still have work to do. Actually, nukes and satellites wouldn't even help them possess the core of the Earth, now that I think about it.  @ZachWeinersmith Not even the billionaires can get that much. Maybe settle for having an øl? The best training set is forcing a robot to attend employee training. Bonus panel here: http://smbc-comics.com/comic/llm-2    9 year old is into mythical epics.

@ZachWeinersmith the Táin Bo Cuailnge, or the Cattle Raid of Cooley, is the best known Irish epic, if that helps. @ZachWeinersmith  @ZachWeinersmith so glad to have seen the “making of” of this comic here in Mastodon!  @ZachWeinersmith these comics somehow have a Calvin & Hobbes meets XKCD vibe I think. I love your stuff 👍 Happy New Year!

@ZachWeinersmith *in a world where we make new year resolutions in May, rather than stepping into whatever low light drizzle dog piss passes for January that year. I mean from a character development perspective I'm very proud of him. You go, blond guy. Make your dreams come true, fictional hero. Real

@ZachWeinersmith  @ZachWeinersmith The kerning here made me read "and we can understand and them" and I had to read it multiple times and concentrate to get it right. Probably mostly because I'm sleep deprived, though. Happy new year! Thank you for all the entertainment and interesting thoughts this year, as in so many previous years! You make the world more bearable with your art! :)  And then came 2023… https://interestingengineering.com/science/new-physics-experiment-indicates-no-objective-reality Basic prerequisites for science posts in 2024 will include having read #OnTheOriginOfTime 😅 Everything after about 2020 will be suspect. What a strange future. https://www.reddit.com/r/midjourney/comments/18kx2gi/is_walmart_using_ai_art_for_these_christmas/    Downhill  @ZachWeinersmith I too believe that other people should be judged purely based on the consequences of their actions, while I should be judged primarily on my intentions. |
