Now while we joke about it and see many examples in fiction, the quest for Artificial Intelligence is a very real thing.

With how things are today we're reaching a point where we may finally discover how to create such a thing. However, as a layman, I've come to the conclusion that we may not be responsible enough as a species to have this new life and have it Not immediately want to kill us.

AI is probably one of the most dangerous things that we can develop and I hope, dear fucking LORD I hope that governments actually get their shit together and regulate it because right now it's the fucking wild west and anything and everything can and will happen.

Just applied for my first job.
am I an adult yet?

EndgamerAzari · Tue Jul 12, 2016 4:41 pm

Not until you apply for over 100, never hear anything back, and have your parents accuse you of not trying hard enough.

Then you become a fat alcoholic.

Just remember that metabolism slows down with age!

I'm starting to think that adulthood is a lie anyway, the kids just get bigger and get to make up the rules because who's going to stop them?

I like the Bear Grylls the Island show because the idea of fucking off to an island somewhere and living off the land appeals to me.

"I don't drink and I've got a great metabolism so I should be ok on this front

Yeah.... give it about ten years of working for shit cunts and getting stressed out all the time. See how your metabolism is then.

I actually do quite enjoy my job despite the near carpal tunnel, but i definitely agree with you. As we manage to outsource more and more labor to robits it is only going to get worse.

Comes out on the 22nd. If they do it like previous seasons they'll just dump the whole show at once.

Bojack is one of those shows that keeps you laughing so you don't break down in tears. You've gotta have the right combination of a dark sense of humor and an absolutely despondent outlook on life to like it. I enjoy it, but it might be a little too... real for some.

He said of a show with talking animals.

Timbrewolf · Post by **Timbrewolf** » Tue Jul 12, 2016 8:16 pm #195089

Bojack is the best televised program I've ever seen, from any country, animated or otherwise.

The first two episodes of the first season are a bit rough, the sense of humor and pacing for the story aren't quite there, but afterwards the show falls into place and goes places.

It'll make you feel like shit. It'll make you feel shitty about feeling shitty. It'll make you laugh at how shitty you feel, then feel shitty for laughing. It perfectly captures some of the essence of what being an adult in modern society feels like.

Neither you, your donut or the beverage are American enough for this.

Started closing shift due to being all but forced to take it.

Here's to hope that the queue doesn't get overloaded last thing at night so I don't get stuck after the clock. Ther'es going to be a lot of involuntary overtime.

Had my first ever job interview today.
I think it went well.

They got back to me just now (so like, 6 hours after the interview which is really good) just to tell me that they've not made a decision yet
(some more people to interview) and they'll get back to me by Wednesday.

Was sat next to the phone for 2 hours playing FFIV, when it finally rang I jumped haha.

Ricotez · Post by **Ricotez** » Fri Jul 15, 2016 4:07 pm #195967

Contacting you specifically to tell you they haven't made a decision yet sounds like good news, yeah. They probably want to make sure you don't accept something else while they're thinking of hiring you.

Remie Richards · Fri Jul 15, 2016 4:13 pm

That's... a really good point. The lady on the phone did actually say "don't think we've forgotten you" (twice haha)
