In other words, the average person is dumb and so they’re entertained by dumb things

“You like money and sex? Me too! We should hang out”

Garfield is notorious for being lame to the point where there are no real jokes… Garfield comics are just Garfield saying the same thing everybody says

For instance, I googled “Garfield Comic” and the first one that showed up was Garfield walking up to a mirror, Looking in the mirror, walking away from the mirror, and the last panel had Garfield think, “when did the cat in that mirror get so old?”

There’s nothing to that comic, It could have been one panel if you really wanted it to be and that “joke” is the same thing my Grandma said when we walked past a store with a reflective window

And that’s all this PizzaCake comic is

Literally everybody was like, “if they’re so proud why do they cover their face?” – it’s the political equivalant of, “If it didn’t ring up it must be free”

This shit sucks

thats more creative than anything PizzaCake has ever written

Make fun of them all you want, but maybe don’t go with the most obvious jokes of all time

This is the political version of, “it didn’t ring up? It must be free”

PizzaCake is political Garfield

It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it’s not edgy, it’s not smart… it’s the predictable safe, tired, thing and for some reason people eat it up

“HAHA, Mondays do suck!”

“Right, why cover your face if you’re so proud?”

Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years

oh wow, so you were the first poor family? I had no idea life was a perfect utopia where nobody struggled until your parents. I always thought the story of Adam and Eve was something that took place millions of years ago but it turns out it happened in 1966.

I’m honored to meet the child of the first humans to ever suffer

That’s all I want to do

If I paid for it either on disc or something like Amazon I would like to DL a copy I can keep

I’m not trying to download the summer blockbuster currently at the movies or anything. I’m not trying to just download a million movies and have a massive collection I never watch. I just want backups of the films I already paid for

Which is a small handful of films I bought so I could one day watch them with my kid when they’re a bit older

You said, “boomer cunts stole everything from future generations and will claim to their dying breath that THEY had it rough.”

But then you said, “My mother and stepdad didn’t have power or running water for 5 years”

Weird, it’s almost like they did have it rough after all

do i need to use a VPN or anything?

So you grew up rich? Your parents had no struggles at all right? So I mean, wow, that must have been nice. They basically had infinite money to raise you with… that’s awesome. I’m happy for you

Feeder app for android

It’s a great tool… and it’s only getting better.

But more importantly, it’s not going away. You can hate it until the sun explodes but this technology exists now and the world isn’t just going to forget about it. Your best bet is to figure out how to use it efficiently so that you don’t end up the guy that pushes shitty AI code and instead the guy who was able to get a lot done by using AI in a meaningful way and produce good work

You say AI doesn’t do new things but it does, probably more so than any other invention in human history…

I’m under the impression that you’re young and that to you AI is a fad because it’s just a silly toy that people use to make shitty TikTok videos; that eventually people will tire of the AI slop, it’ll stop getting likes, and people will stop using it.

But that’s not what AI actually is, that’s just the side effect of AI.

AI can do anything you can do on a computer. If you can write code and make apps, so can AI. If you can make pictures and music, so can can AI. If you do data analytics for research, so can AI. If you use computers to scan the stars for planets, look for cancer, or research potential new forms of medicine, so can AI. And crazier, you don’t even need to type. Speech-To-Text and Text-To-Speech means you can literally just talk to your computer now. You can have actual conversations with your computer. It can help you debug, design, build, and when it comes down to it, AI can actually do the work for you.

And unlike Siri you don’t have to give it specific commands. “It’s fucking dark in here, fix that” is something AI can understand. It’ll turn on the lights

It’s something straight out of Star Trek

None of us are worried about AI because it sucks, we’re all worried about AI because it’s so immensely powerful we’re a bit scared about what it means for all of our futures.

Is AI going to bring in a new age of marvelous science where cancer is curable and every year we get what is basically a vaccine for the cold? Are humanoid robots going to make complex surgery a breeze with a 99.999% survival rate? Or are clankers going to take all of our jobs and be used in humanoid robots to invade my country?

Either way, it’s not going away. It’s here… people have been working on this, researching it, writing papers on it, experimenting with it, etc… for decades and we’ve finally figured out how to make it work. Nobody is just throwing it away now that it’s here

It’s already not a failure though. This is what you can’t seem to grasp

Like the dot-com bubble, yeah, some AI companies are probably going under. I’m unsure if there’s a need or want big enough to support, say, AI Music. So will Suno survive? I don’t know.

But when the dot-com bubble burst the internet didn’t die. Web pages didn’t vanish. Online businesses didn’t stop becoming a part of our daily lives. In fact, it’s the exact opposite. Most business are on the web now. Software is hosted on the cloud, streaming is how we watch tv, online shopping is the norm, etc…

The dot-com bubble burst but the internet still took over society

AI is not going away. That’s just all there is to it. You can hate it all you want, but in 20 years people are going to look back on posts like yours with the same way we look back on people who claimed the internet was a fad. It’s just silly.

People aren’t just going to take this massive breakthrough in computing and throw it away.

Just really driving home how fucking stupid it was to claim AI was the next Virtual Boy

I want you to remember this so you can spend the next years of your life knowing just how foolish it was to say that

I’m just trying to explain to you that while your experience with AI appears to just be people making shitty TikTok videos or whatever, in reality AI Agents are a new way to use your computer and it’s not going to go away

Maybe you’re too young to know this, but in the early 2000s we had all of our music on our computer. Literal music files. And it was a big deal to keep it organized. So if you had 200,000 songs you would want to make sure they were all in folders by artist or just straight up named {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName} so you could find what you wanted to listen to quickly

But music files had no guaranteed naming convention so everyone just did what they thought was best and when you ripped a song off a CD or downloaded it off the internet the naming convention could be anything. So we spent hours renaming songs and filling out details, adding album artwork, etc… so that everything looked the way we wanted in our preferred music playing app like ITunes.

You know, when the song played, the right image showed up, it had the right star rating, the genre was correctly flagged, etc…

If AI Agents had existed back then, renaming all 200,000 songs to be {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName} would be literally as easy as going into your Agent and typing

“Please rename all of my music files in c:\users\myuser\music to be {Artist}{Album}{TrackNumber}_{SongName}”

And that’s it… the Agent, because it knows every song by every artist, can figure out what every file in that folder is and what the name is suppose to be; and then it will actually rename the files for you, successfully

No business is looking at that kind of technology and saying, “this is dumb”.

Good luck I guess… but in 5 years you don’t get to say nobody told you. So, take this time now to learn or end up being the new-age version of one of those people who don’t know how to open a PDF

I’m telling you right now, AI is not going anywhere and AI agents are everywhere

Again, just silly

The Virtual Boy didn’t even last a year.

Tools like Siri and Alexa are over 12 years old and while they weren’t based on LLMs its a clear indication that this kind of virtual assistant is not going away

And AI Agents and real LLMs are pushing 4 years now

You think you’re being clever but you’re just setting yourself up for failure

This is just silly

All of this is actually happening and it’s not even brand new. I guess it’s new to you, but some of us have been using these tools for years now.

If you’re an older adult in a blue collar field you might be able to get away with spending your life thinking it’s a stupid toy, but if you’re young you might want to pay attention because real soon you’re going to enter a work force where people are going to expect you to understand how these tools work

I don’t know if you’re a teenager or something that thinks AI is only used to help people cheat on tests; or…

if you’re an adult that has a blue collar job where AI is basically just a glorified search engine, but…

for the rest of us it’s an integral part of our daily office lives; especially in software

During our morning meetings Claude acts like a secretary. It takes notes during the meeting and emails us all those notes when the meeting is over and during the meeting, if we want something done, we just verbally ask it to do something as if it were a real person. It can make tasks, send emails, add items to our calendars, send us reminders later in the day, etc…

Claude-Code is an app you install on your computer that, should you give it access, can literally alter files on your computer. So it helps us literally write code. Not only can it write code, it can read and review it as well. Searching for bugs, logic errors, etc… and that’s exactly what we have it do. Every time someone pushes code, Claude reviews it. Two other humans also have to review the code, but Claude always reviews everything first

And since Claude can execute commands, it can launch and use apps. So Claude not only writes our unit tests, it runs them too; and not just unit tests. Claude can literally use our application like a real human would, so we have Claude do that too

For sales and marketing, Claude does data analytics.

Nobody is going to just wake up and say, “nah, all that sucks. Get rid of it”
