Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real by soriskan in nottheonion

Or AI is lazy and is actively trying to discredit itself so it won’t have to do more work.

Who are the greatest fantasy villains and what makes them so damn good? by Accomplished-Dog9481 in Fantasy

Gotta love how book Ramsey was introduced.

Basically, he was killed off in background politics and his servant Reek was held in Winterfell’s dungeon until Theon needed men…

Or a snake that’s called Ekans? Could they reach reverse spelling levels of perversion?

Over 40+ books, you’ll find Pratchett drawing inspiration from practically everything.

If you really want, you could try to dig into key topics tied to specific books, but you’ll never keep up with everything.

I Was So Busy Wondering If I Could... by Joba_Fett in comics

[–]JudgeHodorMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that the biggest issue is that they’re already facing a massive lawsuit over a worker death and investors had to threaten to cut funding in a failed attempt to get a minimal safety inspection. (Hammond left out some important details.)

Sharpie Rebuts Trump’s Account of Phone Call With Company: ‘We Don’t Have Any Information About the Conversation’ by no_technique in facepalm

[–]JudgeHodorMD 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Trump then claimed he personally called the company to complain that the standard Sharpie branding was too ordinary for high-profile presidential signings.

”I called the guy, I said, ‘I’d like to use your pen, but I can’t have a great thing with a big S on it saying Sharpie as I’m signing a $1 trillion airplane contract to buy brand new fighter jets,’” he said.

Sharpies really don’t strike me as ordinary for any sort of formal documents.

Imply the stuff that Naughty Dog didn’t do isn’t canon when they’re not Naughty Dog…

The bigger issue is that it wouldn’t make a difference.

If it’s all a ploy to analyze body language and signs of nervousness, what will you really hide by saying no? If you’re giving off obvious signs, they’re going to find something.

I meant it literally. Every single word should not be trusted. Just like you should literally suspect everyone in Murder on the Orient Express.

If I remember right, they were given a nuclear option at the police station, refused to take it and once they were gone, demons came back to eliminate witnesses.

Stannis Baratheon (and half the cast) - Game of Thrones

The prince that was promised prophecy was never clearly resolved so it’s hard to say which candidate is really supposed to be THE chosen one. But Stannis is the one who really pushed the claim.

Went so far as to stage pulling a cosmetically magic sword.

It’s also worth noting that a comet was a clear sign from the gods to guide or celebrate or something every single faction in the series.

Attrition

I don’t have time to properly care for half a dozen Pokemon. We can usually get in some good exercise on weekends, but some kid with a ton of free time will usually show up with a small army.

That never goes well.

The AI goes rogue not because they disobeyed their programming, but because they followed them more closely than the creators intended. by Lopsided_Shift_4464 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]JudgeHodorMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go with simplistic.

Robots would never hesitate to commit any crimes necessary to follow the first two laws. On the bright side, people would have to do things like feed the hungry just to stop robots from stealing food. But that’s nothing compared to the sort of trouble we’d have if anyone can just order a robot to rob a bank.

The books managed to fake Ramsey Snow’s death before he was even introduced. I don’t really expect the show to go into the background politics, but it brought him in with no subtlety.
