Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for August 30, 2024

My home city has taken to installing ’Don’t Walk’ signs on the pavement.

Social Idiocy

This sort of thing happens, with alarming regularity.

I think we’ve got that covered

Knowing the misinformation is more important than life itself!

Don’t need to invent it when we got the real thing!

I see this as the one big flaw in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. This sort of stuff should have been removed from the genome millennia ago.

It’s called the Darwin affect.

Not artificial

Humans don’t need to prefect artificial stupidity when the have the real thing down sooo very well.

I live near a small Liberal Arts College, Today is move-in day , Yes I have to pay extra attention to Kids popping out from between Cars never mind the cross walks !

A high school in Guelph , Ontario Canada put up a second set of traffic lights…twenty feet from an already existing one..because student kept walking into traffic while staring at their smart phone. The car drivers obey the traffic students don’t.

There’s sufficient natural stupidity to go around…

We don’t need to perfect it, we need to try to eliminate it!

Hilarious! I also love your Arlington Cemetery editorial cartoon today!

This has been my statement all along, “If we can have artificial intelligence, then why is stupidity always so real?”

Stupidity has always been among us. Cell phones are just the newest and most obvious proof.

The DNC has it down already….nothing artificial about it. It’s all natural, passed along to every communist liberal dweeb democrat.

He earned another crossing guard merit badge.

What an A.S.hole.

Artificial intelligence is going to have its work cut out for it if it wants to overcome natural stupidity.

A different perspective, and many years ago (before smart phones):

My friend — a psychologist — just happened to be exiting the hospital at the same time as a patient who was diagnosed as being seriously divorced from reality. But my friend, distracted by something, stepped out into traffic. The “totally unaware” patient grabbed her arm and yanked her back from being hit by a car, saying, “You should be more careful!” And then he immediately reverted to his “oblivious” personality.

It seems that context may have deeper meanings than we normally give it.

“Maybe we need to perfect ‘artificial stupidity’ first.”

Alas, if we do, it will not replace the “natural” kind.

She’s typical of most people whose eyes are glued to the phone unaware of the oncoming 3500 pound car whose driver is also on the phone texting. Darwin wins again in my book.
