Social media.

"Oh my god, grandpa! You were just on that all day?! And you let kids use it??! Didn't you know it was bad for you?!"

"Y... Yeah. We kinda knew."

Alas, it turns out that human cerebrospinal fluid is heroin to their biology. We're going to get farmed like opium poppies.

"The Big Fundamental" is a great nickname.

Also, this:

Duncan himself commented on his "boring" image, stating, "If you show excitement, then you also may show disappointment or frustration. If your opponent picks up on this frustration, you are at a disadvantage."

...that is some Sun Tzu Art of War-style pschowarfare right there. Good for Tim.

So you're saying he did analyze the metals, and that he couldn't conclusively prove that they weren't alien metal?

I actually think the "it's soulless... FOR NOW" panel is pretty important.

People who believe in the value of human creativity have been pretty casual about saying that AI generated work isn't as good as work created by a person, but what happens if in another iteration or two it actually CAN produce "good" "art"? Like, what happens if it's cranking out screenplays and paintings that DO pass muster? We've got to be prepared for that possibility, and try to act now to make sure that our world is structured around preserving human dignity on its own merits. The existence of a faster work-doing machine shouldn't necessitate that all human workers must now starve.
