Working analog clock minute hands after the first minute.

"obviously fake": NO, damnit! What's "obvious" is that about a third of Americans can't differentiate between what's real and what isn't.

Yeah seriously! Why does it have to be a Christian supernatural force? It could just be Baba Yaga "reaching out" as it were, to a kindred spirit.

Why couldn't it be the fae trying to pull him into their world? Or perhaps an evil yokai finally tracked him down?

Maybe his original soul escaped the mirror dimension and was trying to claw its way back into his body!

They're actually just white trash.

Surely they can't all be this dumb.

After a few decades following American politics you'll realize that yes, yes they can all be that dumb.

Just have a general conversation with your most conservative neighbors about basically anything and you'll quickly learn that there's nothing they don't have an opinion on and their level of ignorance is... Impressive.

Like, dude, you're 60+ years old and you think hurricanes are a conspiracy‽ The point where they lost their mind was long ago.

Sooner or later you can't help but wonder if they ever had sanity or they just faked it long enough to have a career/survive until retirement.

Yeah that's the part I don't get: The law is literally telling doctors to kill their patients and the doctors are just going along with it? WTF!

It takes effort but you have to milk it for all its worth!

Not true! The female nipple is actually useful.

Here's the thing: That's exactly what Trump supporters want. That's the "pain" Musk talked about.

They don't care about the cost. Money or human.

I asked a Trump supporter how they wanted to handle American citizen children of illegal immigrants and they said they wanted the children taken away and placed into Christian indoctrination programs (they didn't call it that but that's what they meant).

Meh. This is but a fraction of what the big media companies think the world owes them for piracy.

There's no easier lie for a politician than piety.

As another (local) AI enthusiast I think the point where AI goes from "great" to "just hype" is when it's expected to generate the correct response, image, etc on the first try.

For example, telling an AI to generate a dozen images from a prompt then picking a good one or re-working the prompt a few times to get what you want. That works fantastically well 90% of the time (assuming you're generating something it has been trained on).

Expecting AI to respond with the correct answer when given a query > 50% of the time or expecting it not to get it dangerously wrong? Hype. 100% hype.

It'll be a number of years before AI is trustworthy enough not to hallucinate bullshit or generate the exact image you want on the first try.
