How to Show Character

January 31, 2022 by Scott Meyer

The Emperor of the Moon is trapped in a repeating pattern that makes his own life much less pleasant, but he seems unable or unwilling to take the minimal steps needed to break the cycle.

As I write this comment, one of our cats is walking back and forth on my desk, intermittently blocking my access to my keyboard and my view of the monitor. She does this every day, and I never kick her off of the desk.

I’m just saying, I drew the Emperor to look like Rick, but there’s more than a little of me in him as well.

How to Remain Optimistic

January 19, 2022 by Scott Meyer

If we ever create an artificial intelligence that is truly superior to us, it may well keep us around to make itself feel superior. It also may to try to improve us, in the spirit of helping the less fortunate.

Imagine a future where robots constantly criticize us or instruct us how to do things, then smother us with condescending praise as we try to follow their advice.

I might prefer extermination.
