No lol I did too. It's an interesting concept. And cool that it's such an old one.

Yes, but the first person who invented the hammer would absolutely deserve a carpentry prize if they built a new type of chair with the hammer as proof of the usefulness of their new tool.

As the guy above you mentioned, the prize is for progressing the field of physics, biology, math etc. not for knowing the field the best. They used an unrelated technology to advance those fields in a novel and significant way.

It's a new technology and they used it to make scientific breakthroughs in many different fields? I guess you could read this comic as not being anti-ai but it definitely reads like it to me.

It's no problem, all you need is a good hefty straighten-outer shot to straighten out the barrel.

From Wikipedia, not dunking on you, I just thought this was a very clear explanation of why right-wing libertarianism is the anomaly:

In the mid-19th century,[10] libertarianism originated as a form of left-wing politics such as anti-authoritarian and anti-state socialists like anarchists,[11] especially social anarchists,[12] but more generally libertarian communists/Marxists and libertarian socialists.[13][14]

These libertarians sought to abolish capitalism and private ownership of the means of production, or else to restrict their purview or effects to usufruct property norms, in favor of common or cooperative ownership and management, viewing private property in the means of production as a barrier to freedom and liberty.[19] While all libertarians support some level of individual rights, left-libertarians differ by supporting an egalitarian redistribution of natural resources.[20] Left-libertarian[26] ideologies include anarchist schools of thought, alongside many other anti-paternalist and New Left schools of thought centered around economic egalitarianism as well as geolibertarianism, green politics, market-oriented left-libertarianism and the Steiner–Vallentyne school.[30]

The best business model is one that allows users to pay what they want. Unfortunately that means most of these sites would go out of business, which is not what they want so they'll keep forcing more and more invasive ads on people until the dam truly breaks.

To be fair, the quality of the bread in these mass produced "artisan bakery" sections can be trash tier, like sometimes it's wonder bread level but even more dry. Idk why they decide to do it. Maybe it was fresh at one point but these displays can get left out all week.

Sure they do. I'm sure the century cutoff helps too.

If someone one would refer to the 1920s as "the early 1900s" cause it's over 100 years ago it follows logically to call other parts of the 1900s the mid and late period.

Cause as you get older, you realize that a lot of the hype about people being "old" is manufactured. I'm closing in on 30 and I'm squarely in a zone I thought was "old" when I was 18. But I feel like I still have my whole life ahead of me. And despite a lot of fear mongering, I still feel healthy and ready for anything.

And although I definitely feel like 45 is pretty old, I know that when my parents were that age they were scoffing and telling me "45 is not that old". I'm sure when I'm 60 I'll be looking at retirement and think about how it's actually not too bad to be 60 and it's the 80 year olds that are really old.
