Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 31, 2023

“ITS ALIVE!”

Great recovery Arlo!

“Hi kids, I’m Abby Normal.”

Gotta give the crowd what it wants. (And he’s actually not A-I Man; he’s A-I Man’s monster.)

I’m sticking with the hubris thing. Wow! Cool!

These days parents have to check Halloween candy for THC edibles. Scary, right?

I can see the resemblance, but AI scares me more

Same difference. AI is the result of man’s hubris and the rise of the machines.

Children speak truth.

KISS – Keep it simple, Stupid.

Talk about your modern version of a tragic tale of Man’s hubris and its unknowable consequence!

I’m in the camp of “we can’t make true artificial intelligence because we don’t have the perspective.”

It has been a bit over 50 years since the first thing that could be called a “personal computer” – the Kenbak-1 – appeared. With most of a century of personal computing behind us, and a lot of supercomputers in our midst, we are no closer to human-like intelligence than ever. We can define inductive reasoning and imagination but we aren’t close to having either of them in computers on a human level.

My I now present a cultured, sophisticated, man about town……hit it

AI is a Frankenstein’s Monster. True of most new technology. What hope when tech is brought out is the good outweighs the bad.

LOL!

Where’s Janis and her mask? She was into it on Sunday.

Changing times remain the same…

A clear statement against the home schooling trend!

Scientific technology is far more likely to wipe out the human race than any other thing.

Considering the nod to AI, it’s worth noting that the full title of the novel is “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.”

I don’t mind giving out candy to teenagers who may be a bit old to be trick or treating but I kind of think grown adults of Arlo’s age are too old to be begging candy.

Great costume….

Knowledge tells us that the doctor, not the monster, is Frankenstein. Wisdom tells us the the doctor IS the monster!

So in the end, we realize the real monster is the techbros.

Well done

Shouldn’t that be artificial life man?

I like how the kid’s cartoon balloons cast shadows.

(Trying for my best Lurch [Addams Family] moan) UHHHHH! A moment ago I used google search and it was accompanied by a pop-up saying “Search with an AI-powered boost Try out a new generative AI experiment from Google” The two buttons were “Not Now” and “Join Waitlist.”

quick thinking.
