If you look at the point of an island and your first thought is ‘that’s a naked leg’, you have a leg kink.
No judgment.
But that’s what you are.

The problem with that, of course, is that one MIT study found that many enterprise organizations have so far seen zero return from their AI efforts.
Buyers are also changing, McKinsey believes. It says purchasing decisions are shifting from the IT department to line-of-business units. These leaders are increasingly making budget trade-offs between head count investment and AI deployment, and expect vendors to engage them on value and outcomes, not just features.
That could be a tricky sell, when trials of AI tools such as Microsoft’s Copilot by a UK government department reveal no discernible boost in productivity. Still, the AI firms have to recoup all those billions they’ve already invested somehow, don’t they?
They don’t. They don’t have to recoup those billions.
They can go bankrupt like businesses that create no value are supposed to.
What was the rationale for triple legs?
Were the flag designers secretly leg fetishists or were they out and proud?


This post is like finding a fake $20 in the parking lot that is actually a Jesus pamphlet.

Lmao. I got curious and looked through your user posts, too.
Howdy, internet neighbor!


But he did, though.
I thought that was the whole point of him bringing it up.
He said, we have tools (like magic lasso) that let you skip the boring part of art, so you can get to the creative part. AI can be like that; a tool that let’s you skip having to do backgrounds so you can focus on flying rat monstrosities.
He doesn’t use it that way, but he acknowledges that you can.
It’s just that most AI “art” usage is skipping putting in creative effort at all.


I feel like this is technically true, but in reality it only works like this in the void of space.
The energy I’m spending is to counter the molecule vibration transfer that’s being done (against my food’s will) by the sun and everything else in the space around my fridge.
I am ready for some physicist to pop out of the tall grass and explain how wrong I am.


This… does not seem like a shower thought.


The mistake is assuming this decision was based on anything resembling principles or values.


Serial killer should really be a spectrum.
The dot as it is just means “serial killer with bad aim”.


Can they just skip to the step where they start eating each other and leave the rest of us alone?


Oh, leather is absolutely a thing.
But it’s a subculture of a subculture.
It’s like saying, “Why don’t we call all car drivers Tesla Enthusiasts? Because they seem to like them very much.”
What is happening in the third panel?


Every day I don’t give 110 percent in exchange for… the same amount of paycheck.


Because it’s not about the leather.

Not a show, but a book and a movie adaptation: Interview with A Vampire is actually about Anne Rice’s daughter.
I was a sad, broken and despairing atheist when I wrote ‘Interview with the Vampire’ [in 1973, after the death of her daughter from leukaemia]. I pitched myself into writing and made up a story about vampires. I didn’t know it at the time but it was all about my daughter, the loss of her and the need to go on living when faith is shattered. But the lights do come back on, no matter how dark it seems, and I’m sensitive now, more than ever, to the beauty of the world – and more resigned to living with cosmic uncertainty.
Vampires are the best metaphor for the human condition Here you have a monster with a soul that’s immortal, yet in a biological body. It’s a metaphor for us, as it’s very difficult to realise that we are going to die, and day to day we have to think and move as though we are immortal. A vampire like Lestat in Interview… is perfect for that because he transcends time – yet he can be destroyed, go mad and suffer; it’s intensely about the human dilemma.


That’s cold.
OP’s like It’s only tragic if we were banging.
