@robertliefeld Summer '91, I worked in a comic shop. My handwriting was precise, I filled out the order form we submitted.
There was an X-Force preview in Marvel Age. The owner scribbled 2, sort scratched it out, and wrote 3. I wrote 23.
Got 23 copies, sold them all because of X-Force.
Would you believe an #LLM has feelings if it is made of #ageofempires goats? What if it spans all of #boston ?
They wouldn't have emergent properties, would they?
That's what I argue in 'If LLMs Have Human-Like Attributes, Then So Does Age of Empires II'

Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldnโt trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isnโt a good guy looking out for Americaโs best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didnโt hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. Itโs like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things weโre told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
Thatโs the joke.
@HunterBiden@Kenn321705 Hunter, I don't know if you'll see this, but even if you don't, when I visit your great- and great-great-grandparents in Baltimore next (my family's in the same cemetery), I will tell them you're a badass and they should be proud. :)
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epsteinโs banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: โBut what about your paintings, Hunter?โ
Please.
@Phoenix4517@PsychoJX This, exactly. I didn't dislike the Burnside era, but I read it and would think, "This would make more sense with Steph. This is a Steph concept and story."
@dr_r_j_harley@christinamkopp Well, two years later, in 1814, after the Americans burned York (now Toronto) the year before. But yes.
They would ask Wellington to take American command in 1814, after Paris fell, and he told them it was a stupid war and they should end it forthwith.
