Still better than Superman i guess.

I LOLed so much at that book. Also, in similar vein: A Confederacy of Dunces.

Remember when Bowser was CEO of Nintendo? Fun times.

Which English-speaking country has uniforms that look like that? That looks Russian or Spanish or something.

There's something going on in Data's breeches

"What did you say her name was?"

When I was in school, I was in the habit of reading a novel instead of listening to the teacher whenever I found the lesson boring (as I often did). I attempted this with Catch-22 and was immediately busted because despite my best efforts I laughed out loud halfway through the first page. Decades later it remains one of the funniest books I've ever read.

I won't lie, I did read it and think this is what I would probably comment if I was stoned, so I get that aha

Thankfully, Cpl. Punishment's still in solitary. 😶

The end panel should say 25 standards or some other higher-than-15 number because everyone decides to AIgen their own solution independently.

I think they are generelly seen as alien reptiles rather than dragons... :)

It's America so yes.

Also, big tech can hire expensive lawyers and drag out the process for years. There is no justice when you have rich vs normal.

It's actually a combination of post-op opiates, weed, and me being a smartass son of a bitch.

But I don't think you can use stage names in the military?

Probably the closest thing to this point that exists, would be callsigns for pilots. But yeah, the image is a joke about a news headline.

Don’t get me started on that motherfucker Peer who always reset my connections.

Perfectly chill over here, but I didn't find your comment funny. Shrug.

He was out sick, Major Pain took over for him.

Good old Memmaker! Classic memory boosting program. Sam should take notes.

and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was.

He also looked so much like Henry Fonda that it was a significant problem:

" Long before he even suspected who Henry Fonda was, he found himself the subject of unflattering comparisons everywhere he went. Total strangers saw fit to deprecate him, with the result that he was stricken early with a guilty fear of people and an obsequious impulse to apologize to society for the fact that he was not Henry Fonda" 😂

It's such a fantastic book! Literally can't recommend it enough if I live to be 120!

You may need a tagged type. It is done on our code base such that currency of one type can't be operated on currency of another type. The basic is that TAG<number, 'USD'> !== TAG<number, 'EUR'> because even if the underlying type is the same (number), they are of different types on the type system. See also type-fest library that provide a ton more helper type like that

dontcha mean Colonel Panic?

We don't know this persons name, the tagline is the news headline not this persons name, it's about an actual data breach

She got the job after Colonel Failure was promoted to general.

Sam Altman is a notorious liar, his job is to get the press to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt, but not in the usual way - aimed at competitors - but his own company. Because uuuh, big scary AI very powerful, very smart, very super, wouldn't want to be left in the dust, buy now!

The RAM comment he made doesn't actually help with that though, it just pissed people off because the AI hype has caused prices to shoot up and stay up. It's the head of a private company sounding incredibly entitled and tone-deaf. So now he tries to backpedal, probably also because there's real resistance to data center plans.

I think the hype bubble jumped the shark when he announced that he believes that we're already in the age of AGI. We are so clearly not that you'd think that even the dumbest investor would start asking questions. Maybe they'll notice that actual researchers are calling him out on his bullshit too. We are still in the "AI sends you to the gas station on foot because gas is expensive" era and won't be leaving it with the current tech.
