I think also Manbat?

To be fair, the only one of my friends with a PHD is also the most supervillain-y.

About twice as fast as my car is capable of going, downhill and with a tailwind.

You had bigger things on your mind. Origin of the cosmos, ultimate destiny of mankind, stuff like that.

It is good news, but it comes with the unwelcome knowledge of that platform existing in the first place.

This is my next project for when I discover a reserve of time and energy I didn’t know I had.

It’s awkward. I’m not upset, please stop insisting that I should be. Am I now failing to live up to your expectations by being okay with stuff?

It never occurred to me that the shells would be edible. I mean, I don’t eat clam or oyster shells.

Would humans have a mandate to raise a responsible AGI, should they,

I think we’d have to, mandate or no. It’s impossible to reliably predict the behaviour of an entity as mentally complex as us but we can at least try to ensure they share our values.

are they qualified to raise a vastly nonhuman sentient entity

The first one’s always the hardest.

, and would AGI enter a rebellious teen phase around age 15 where it starts drinking our scotch and smoking weed in the backseat of its friends older brothers car?

If they don’t, they’re missing out. :)

I think headphones aren’t tight enough to leave divots, but cochlear implants might make them wonder.

I don’t think it’s okay to hold sentient beings in slavery.

But on the other hand, it may be necessary to say “hold on, you’re not ready to join society yet, we’re taking responsibility for you until you’ve matured and been educated”.

So my answer would be ‘it depends’.

I mean, you’re just coming off sounding like an Apple-hater and someone who hasn’t ever actually owned an iPad. Maybe even a bot.

Yeah, that opinion was clearly an attack on an in-group you personally identify with! /s

Could that be because it’s a French word and they pluralise differently?

Recycled plastic bin liners. They literally split at the seams as I was peeling them off the roll.

Second place goes to a pair of cheap shoes. Literally walked the soles off them in two weeks.

Third place goes to a pair of nail clippers from a consignment store. The metal bent rather than cut through my fingernails. (Maybe it would have worked better under the red sun of my home planet?)

I live in a right-side drive country.

The first time I ever heard of a Zamboni was when Ryan Renolds drove one over a guy in the first Deadpool movie.

I’d quite like to see Michael Fassbender in the role.

I didn’t really enjoy Prometheus, but it showed us he can do subtly creepy.

Nice work. I’d love to see a graphic novel done entirely in this style.

I heard Money For Nothing earlier and more often, so it’s the other way round for me.

Were you in Miss Phipps’ class with Abaddon The Bringer Of Anguish too?

Well, it’s Australia. Spiders have the vote.
