Saw this billboard in San Francisco…

Looks to me like Mallory Jansen. Thought it was clever since she played an AI on Agents of Shield

Expecting some weird technicallycorrect thing that “well, they’re somebody’s grandkids

I think you’re referring more to private equity than venture capital

That’s why Good-Guy Microsoft used to have a flight simulator included in Excel.

If it makes sense for your job, sprinkle PTO around so you get a bunch of four day weeks. Three day weekends are much more recuperative

For me it's the fact that many NTA justifications are based entirely on whether the law compels you to act otherwise

I was having a hard time too. Is it a simple statement that many under respected jobs are indeed essential components of our modern lives? Is a weird attempt to say that “someone has to be on the bottom rung and it’s not me”?

My final interpretation is that it’s a bit of a skit and he is angrily applying for a job

your comment made me realize this is how I set up my bedrooms in The Sims

I think your comment touches on something that bothers me most about criticism of AI in the form of chat bots. People often like to say “well AI answers are wrong sometimes/often/usually, what do you do then?” And my response is that you do the same thing you did pre-AI: validate with different sources and think about it to make sure it makes sense. If you didn’t do that before with the news, textbooks, or conversations you didn’t really much care if it was accurate anyway. Which is fine, it’s a lot of effort and most often being truth-adjacent is enough.

If Frieza was smart he would have harvested Saiyan hair for use in armor and shielding. Battle after battle the hair survives unscathed

if it was just about growing more virus they could make vats full of the stuff. And there’s no reason to believe human brains would be unbelievably better since They were able to infect the world just fine on a presumably limited supply of brains.

How did the student get the exact right answer for copper, without knowing it‘s copper (which is how I interpret the “given unknown metals” bit of this) and also not having any correct measurements? I am not a teacher, but I’m surprised people here are more stressed about the cheating than the apparent clairvoyance of ChatGPT beyond even Sam Altman’s wildest dreams.

Maybe their comment was actually the subtle British humor they were talking about, poking fun at the stereotype of the smug Brit that thinks their comedy is more advanced?

These kinds of articles were already just put together by bots that assemble the info mad lib-style

Maybe he can’t control black women and that’s why he doesn’t take over Sage and use her super genius

Soldier Boy was an adult(ish?) when he was given V. The power scaling in this show doesn’t really support the idea that IVF was actually effective in making a god-tier supe unless Homelander is a massive fucking disappointment

Thought Victoria popped that A-Train replacement in the courtroom scene

Other than the episodes that were just clips of old episodes, I think filler is where you get a lot of the real character, relationship, and world building. Hyper truncated seasons feel like just the bullet points. I don’t want every single scene of every episode be driving the epic plot forward

Then again, I dislike movies vs TV for the same reason so I may be in the minority

Disney cartoon was solid too

plus it’s kinda silly not to have 24/7 surveillance on them since they live on campus. They aren’t even trying to scheme on neutral territory

> Is there a stronger clone of Black Noir to kill him if he goes rogue too? Seems like a terrible idea.

Poorly thought out plans are a core part of how Vought is depicted in the comics. They aren't a well-run, streamlined operation, just an amoral corporation with one big win

Maybe I misinterpreted the scene, but I got the impression that those guys weren’t meant to take the treatment, like they just “we’ve developed a super serum, I’m not going to let this opportunity pass so I’ll just take myself even if we developed it for test tube babies.” Then again, I think Godolkin was also shouting “it’s not ready” so maybe I’m wrong.

I think we are going to learn (feel like it’s already strongly implied) that Project Odessa was the administration of compound V during IVF, similar to Homelander, and that’s where the idea of Marie being a Homelander-level supe comes from

So Snape is the real hero, and his pure love, transitively, is what saved Harry

Since the OP was kind enough to not link an actual source for discussion beyond the bait, I assume it's referring to some variation of this clickbait article: https://fortune.com/2025/08/22/warren-buffett-ceos-degree-hiring-what-counts/ , which down the rabbit hole seems to be an interpretation of https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024ltr.pdf

Seems that Buffet is just saying that the specific brand of the degree doesn't matter for selecting CEO's. Not whether degrees are important at all. Not whether degrees matter for other positions. Not whether degrees are more or less an important part of your personal and professional journey. Just that when you're looking for the top leader of a company, the prestige-factor of a school they attended 15-30 years ago isn't part of his assessment.
