How to Find Out What Really Happened

March 04, 2022 by Scott Meyer

Introducing the character Mr. Everywhere gave me a real problem, because the amount of room I had to work with in a frame was limited, and I couldn’t logically show Omnipresent Man and not show Mr. Everywhere there with him. If they’re both everywhere, it follows that they must be everywhere together.

Of course, I technically should have included Omnipresent Man in every panel of every comic I wrote from the moment I invented him on. I chose to sort of cheat and just not show him. Then, I created a second character who gave me the same problem, forcing me to cheat twice.

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.
