Okay, I have to break the oath that I made to myself when I made the last comment saying that I was going to walk away from this, but I have to issue one last point. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the context of the picture of the plane with the red dots on it. During world war II the US military was trying to find a way to prevent its bombers from being shot down during bombing runs. A diagram was made of the most common bullet holes that were found on planes that had returned from combat, and a major effort was put into trying to armor those locations to protect them from anti-aircraft fire. After reinforcing panels were installed, the exact same ratio of planes were shot down with seemingly no benefit. It took the involvement of statisticians to explain to the decision makers that they were armoring the wrong points. Assuming that the bombers were hit fairly uniformly with anti aircraft fire, the places where the bullet holes were located on returning aircraft were the least concerning locations, as they took a hit there but survived. The locations were no bullet holes were found were the places that needed to be reinforced, because they had been struck there and failed to return. After reinforcing the areas where very few bullet holes were located, bomber survivability improved considerably. You’re talking about your ability to spot six fingered, perfectly illuminated people in AI generated images that are nothing more than an annoyance to your news feed, while other things, like public figures being made to look like they’re saying things they’re not, or modified satellite images showing things that don’t exist, are lurking in the background, often unnoticed or unacknowledged. Is it possible that some of the images that you believe are real were actually AI generated but touched up slightly by human hands at the end to correct for the obvious giveaways? That is the point of this image. The most dangerous form of ignorance is not knowing what you don’t know. Being correct a high percentage of the time does not necessarily preclude one from being incorrect and equally high percentage of the time.

A bit presumptuous of you, but how many Nerotypicals do you know who have a working base knowledge of the types of anti-aircraft countermeasures that US bombers had to deal with during world war 2? Because that’s where you’d have to start.

This is the smartest goddamn meme I’ve seen this year. Do you have any idea how long this would take to fully explain to my mom? Incredible. No notes.

Is that just a sticker, or does some bank actually let you customize the image?

I’ve never understand why people always complain about jury duty in particular. I’ve never been called, but I think it sounds like an interesting experience.

If you want to do it, but don’t have a proper sounding rod, you can just use your house key instead.

What software did you use to model this, btw?

Well goddamn… Ok. Go ahead and dm me your home address, phone number, social and/or tax id number, the name of the street you grew up on, the name of your favorite teacher, the IMEI number of your cellphone, a high resolution set of your fingerprints, and a list of your three greatest fears, and I’ll get your sticker sent over as soon as I can.

Okay, who gets to be the lucky one to calculate the amount of time that thing could heat sink a pegged, modern, 120w TDP CPU before it throttles at 100C? I’ll give you a sticker.

Don’t make it weird. Just type up a little agenda with times and acts and whatnot. Add a paragraph or two at the end explaining why. She’ll know you really care. Now, whether you email her a digital copy with a signature field, or have her sign it in front of you when you pick her up is just a matter of personal style.

Me: “I regularly start drinking before 10am.” Them: “That’s out of control and unhealthy. You should start going to meetings before you wind up dead.” Me: “I put orange juice in it.” Them: “tight.”
