Reminds me of when our CEO told me to look into building those displays that make an image with blinking LEDs as they spin. My team was working on a website, the company didn’t have any manufacturing capabilities, we sold digital products, and I was a graphic artist.
I was working as a mobile programmer at a large ISP (rhymes with “bombast”) circa 2010 when my (very non-technical) boss came to me and showed me an article he had just read about APIs. He told me he thought they were the “next big thing” and he wanted us to start using them in our project. I told him I would research it.
What depresses me the most about this story is that I’m sure he’s now a C-suite denizen somewhere making millions and forcing everybody to use AI, while I’m now a school bus driver.
lol, lmao even
I’m now a school bus driver.
In the States? They are often portrayed as poor weirdos in cartoons, but how is it as a job? I could imagine much better; at least around here bus drivers in general make pretty good money.
It’s a decent gig as long as you’re in a good district. We make over $30 an hour plus health insurance and a small pension. You only get 4-5 hours a day unless you’re high on the seniority list. There’s an unfortunate tendency for school districts to privatize their transportation and then the good jobs go away.
Bus drivers deserve their reputations as cartoon weirdos, for the most part.
The comic is not fractal, it’s recursive.
Epic fail.

This comic reminds me of the edits people do on short form video like TikTok to make a video end on the same beat that began it.
Not quite the same though. Making a tight loop rather than actual recursion.
This comic is about LLM.

don’t forget golden ratio
Self-similar fractal no doubt!
As a teenager on LSD, I was trying to explain to a friend that I saw fractals in the shadows but I couldn’t remember the word.
“I see that thing, you know, patterns that are part of math…”
“When you take acid you see math?!”
It was really frustrating. I don’t know that I ever explained to him what word I wanted after we came down.
