I've definitely had coworkers who would fail the latter.

As someone who has recently listened to a few nonfiction audiobooks about technical topics, I welcome the AI replacing human readers, because AI will simulate human emotions better than human readers do.

Has anyone but explosm used the phrase "Fashion police" in the last ten years?

Cars still have the niche "Go to places you want to go instead of train stations" use case.

And, unlike most video game mechanics, the audience has to be ~perfect, otherwise people will be like "That piledriver reversal was the best idea I ever had. Why did the audience not like it?" and either quit in frustration or Google the mechanics and learn the optimal move combination from Reddit.

- Third one has the problem that making an "audience" that reacts reasonably is actually REALLY hard, and that people on the Internet will find the optimal series of moves on day 1.

- First one might work as a solo dev indie game, as long as it came out on a sufficiently slow news day (Honestly, I'm surprised no one has tried it before)
- Second one has the problem that it would require mid/high budget for the animations, but its premise is too niche to make that money back.

The majority of the population feels inflation. Only a small group feel unemployment (the unemployed and underemployed).
In fact, many employed people feel better off during high unemployment because they can afford more services (cheap burrito taxis!)

If you really believed that, you'd be shorting it, not posting about it.

Many college teams have tried this approach before, and all have failed.
So I'm sure it will work for the Cleveland Browns!

Do you honestly think you're the first person to ever have this idea?

The problem with that argument is that you not only have to claim that it's worth learning about art history, but that it's worth going into enough debt that it will substantially affect the rest of your life to learn about art history.

I think it would be more clear if the captions were like "1995" and "2025."

I wonder how much that's influenced by specifically Alfred.

Honest question: Why are moderate Democratic influencers so obsessed with getting the Democrats to repeat a message that is guaranteed to lose them Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and possibly Pennsylvania?

My first few seconds reading this comic, my brain refused to comprehend what my eyes were telling it. Then, I thought it was a glitch on the mobile site.
What happened after that was pure panic.

Worth noting that many services for the homeless in San Francisco are only available to people whose last residency was in San Francisco, so claims by homeless people that they are native San Franciscian should not be taken at face value.

If you're willing to include coprocessors, why stop there? Put a Hackintosh in there and port Mac OS Sequoia to the SNES.

I hate to break it to you, but all the people and ideas you don't like have always been there. They just didn't have a standardized hat until 2016.

After years of "SMBC comics that should have been Explosm" and "SMBC comics that should have been xkcd," we finally have the holy grail: an SMBC comic that should have been Oglaf.

Does this mean we're going back to the "Ads with loud autoplaying audio" era of SMBC?

Everyone working in a robotics lab has at least one story of a heavy metal robot arm swinging around faster than they thought was possible.

There are a lot of people who don't go in trying to get the most users, but everyone eventually figures out that "getting the most users" and "having any community at all" are different names for the same concept.

I think a lot of that is driven by the fact that social media sites are so network-effect-driven that being anything but the top couple sites in your niche makes you completely irrelevant.

Prop 13 is a religious document in California. You'd be better off getting Christians to repeal the Bible.

That's actually surprising to me! Which billionaires are both supporting the push against Gay and heavily invested in OpenAI?
