Why do anime villains so often have buttholes for faces?
Edit: Oh. Those are AI logos.
Follow-up question: why do AI companies so often have buttholes for logos?
Another fun thing from this show is the magic system, which limits the caster’s ability based on what they can imagine. Programming feels exactly like that to me. I mean, a lot of human ability is limited by that, but most stuff is also limited by physical constraints long before imagination. With programming, we more often hit the limit of our imagination, or time feasibility, before any other constraint.
Working with non programmers, it’s always wild to field their unimaginative solutions, and refreshing when someone actually had a good idea.
Working with less experienced programmers, it’s fun to help them through problems. So often they hit a wall they can’t imagine walking through, take some concession and build around the wall. You can appreciate the work, and then show them the simple solution to walk through the wall. If they have talent, they grow quick.
Working with a much more experienced programmer, or in a domain you don’t have much experience with, helps keep you humble because there’s no way you’re going to learn everything.
Anyway, back to writing my spells.
What’s the show for the uninitiated?
Frieren (Sousou no Furiren, "Frieren and the Funeral). It’s about what happens after the quest is finished. The elven mage Frieren was part of a band of adventurers that defeated the big bad many years ago. Before the party splits up and she goes off to travel the world studying magic, the group all agree to meet again in the future, after many years.
This is where the main story starts. Due to her elven heritage, Frieren has hardly aged at all. When she comes back, she’s just in time to see the human leader of the old party one last time before he dies, and she attends his funeral. She goes searching for the other old party members, and along the way she accidentally picks up some new friends and becomes the leader of a new party, having various adventures and run-ins with new bad guys.
Frieren: Journey’s End
Definitely one of the best animes I’ve seen in years. Follows a near immortal elf retracing the steps of her previous journey to defeat the demon king, decades later.
The fun part is that less jobs means also less potential customers not only for the bare AI services but to what will be produced by them. I really have no clue how they are planning to solve this issue without literally lowering the amount of living people if they even plan at all.
Lowering the amount of people wouldn’t help such a thing, because demand for stuff and therefore number of potential jobs in an economy is at least partially a function of the number of people. If you reduce the population, you also reduce the number of needed employees, leaving you right back where you started.
Why Docker?
I think that’s the deepseek logo? Only one not looking like an asshole
Yes, I looked at both and realized the difference. Thanks!
