Peter drove a Ford!
“And Peter followed from a-Ford.” (Matthew 26:58)
Pontiac had some sales too:
“And the Lord gave them Solstice.” (Joshua 21:44)
The Bible even had the Fast and the Furious!
“The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.” (2 Kings 9:20)
Jehu probably drove a Plymouth Fury (with a lead foot).
“AI warfare” or, “AI is stealing all the jobs of our army of international scammers, that we allow to operate freely as long as they don’t target Russians!”
Ever see someone using Google and cringe? People who have experience getting AI to do what they want feel the same when they see normies writing their prompts.
Did I miss some memo or something? Are we mad at this style of comic right now for some reason?
I’ve got my pitchfork downvote ready, just give me a good reason 👍
I honestly don’t see what’s wrong with this particular comic. It’s just a silly comic about a common problem with “free” games.
Finally, robots are automating the boaring jobs!
Grand Theft Data
For crying out loud!
Yeah but it works and it’s still free 🤷
Other place: “UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION!”
(Horn sounds)
“Wait: Is there a sunspot‽”
It ain’t much, but it’s dishonest work.
Remember, kids: If we taught you how to protect your privacy and recover from things like this, you’d also learn how to get around the censorship we impose upon you so stay in the dark and suffer.
Yep. They have several attachments for many size rings 👍
I hate having to deal with these things so much I spent real money on a special tool to deal with them. Even though I only have to mess with circlips once in a blue moon. Maybe even longer.
The real question: Why didn’t she just make a new Discord account? It’s free and stupidly easy.
It’s not that hard to contact your old friends and tell them your account was hacked. In fact, that happens all the time.
The AI features are actually pretty cool!
Using a local AI model (running on your own GPU), you can:
It supports voice and probably visual (e.g. with a webcam) I think.
Best of all: It doesn’t send any of that to some data center in the cloud! I mean, you can configure it to do that but you can just as easily use say, qwen3.5.
Note: It’s not realistic to expect to be able to use local models if you have less than 16GB of VRAM (in your GPU). I mean, some 8-billion parameter model will work with say, 8GB but you’re not going to be satisfied with the results most of the time 🤷
For a second there, I thought I was looking at a cutaway of some epic new kind of pasta.
Ah, the good old days when your “dumb” refrigerator would kill children playing hide and seek because the latch wouldn’t open from the inside. When it was lined with asbestos because that’s literally the best insulation that exists excepting aerogel. When the mercury thermostat would fail—leaking mercury on to your food (and aerosolizing some which would be breathed in as soon as you opened it)—and it would freeze everything inside, complete with an interior wall of snow that could take days to defrost. It used old school freon, destroying the ozone layer. Or before then, fun highly toxic gasses like methyl chloride!
Those were the days! When a breeze through the house on a day with wonderful weather could blow out the pilot light in your oven, slowly leaking gas into your house, exploding and destroying the entire home late at night while everyone is asleep.
Then the wonders of electricity came along to produce ovens that were hooked up to 220V lines without a grounding wire, and wiring that would slowly fail over time, eventually making contact with the metal frame, electrocuting anyone who touched the device—or anyone that touched the person touching it.
Ovens were built different “back in the day”! They didn’t have anti-tip brackets, resulting in loads of children sitting on the oven door, spilling boiling liquids down upon them.
The best were those old washing machines, though! You could lift up the lid and look inside to see your laundry spinning at high speeds! Just don’t reach your hand in, or you could find out what the term “degloving” means.
Ah yes, the good old days of appliances.
Oh please. There’s nothing wrong with a bunch of girls horsing around.
I’ve been researching this a bit… I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no AI bubble. In fact, we’re only just getting started down this road. Unless there’s some massive 100x efficiency breakthrough in training AI and inference, the entire world is going to be building seemingly endless AI data centers (and the normal compute kind, e.g. for stuff like AWS, Google/YouTube, Meta, banks) for at least a decade. Probably a little longer (12-15 years before demand levels out).
Everyone thinks that “AI data center” means ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc but there’s 10,000x more demand for AI than those services. Think: Pharmaceutical companies trying to find proteins, scientists (and big agriculture!) trying to model the weather, and other businesses trying to automate stuff. Not just software; robots and things like conveyor belts.
Another example: Ever use one of those self-checkouts that’s mostly just a camera pointing down, where you place the stuff you’re purchasing? That uses AI too.
Having said that, there is a great big bubble in AI: OpenAI, specifically. That will definitely pop one day. And hopefully, the DRAM bullshit will go along with it.
