And 2 months later he returned to PVP mode because he got bored.

I saw it years before deepfakes were a thing. I wish I had saved the video now. I would have loved to take a more critical look at it.

There was a Trump interview from the 90s where he said that if he ever ran for office he would go Republican because they were stupid, gullible and easily manipulated. Sadly I cannot find that interview anymore.

So… Someone is going to jail for that, right?

Right?

The one on the bottom right should be the same as the center right but with “Apple” written instead of “Microsoft”. And maybe with the hand of the character representing Apple reaching in the other’s pocket while doing what he’s doing.

This gets much worse if you start pronouncing all letters in a word like they sound in the alphabet.

If you look back at the sci-fi movies that came out soon after lasers were invented, you could see that people had all sorts of crazy ideas of what a laser could be used to do and that a lot of them had absolutely no idea of what a laser really did. Ultimately, we’ve found out that most of those imagined uses were pure bullshit or extremely impractical, at least with the current state of the technology. It didn’t mean that the technology was useless. We ended up finding all sorts of useful purposes for it that they had never imagined, like disk players or barcode scanners. It only means that it took time for people to better understand what the real world applications of the new technology was and a lot of the initial assumptions were dead wrong.

AI is going through the same process. It will take time before the technology’s strengths and weaknesses are better understood by the masses so it can be better applied to more realistic uses. And for the commercialization of snake-oil applications for it remains confined to fringe markets.

This just gave me the idea of an item that is secretly highly radioactive. Carrying it and being around it it would slowly give the character increasingly acute symptoms of radiation poisoning.The characters can’t possibly understand what radiation poisoning is so they would think it is some sort of magical curse. However no magic users would be able figure out what it is and how to stop it.

I’m wondering how long it would take for the players themselves to figure out what it really is, or if they ever would.

I can absolutely believe this would have been his answer.

French people cannot pass a chance to make fun of British cuisine.

“Isn’t that hot?”

“Extremely.”

I thought he was going to say "It looks like a rock to everyone else around you and they’re constantly making interventions about your apparent obsession with overprotecting your ‘pet rock’ "

Isn’t it also cannon that Teal’c loves Star Wars?
