David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I really try not to pout about this kinda thing usually, but it needs to be said: Zero likes was BULLSHIT for this, IMO one of the funniest things I've ever made.

Film noir detective's inner monologue voice: "He struck me as the typa guy whose idea of being "energy efficient" was choosing to take a shit in the same bathroom you're currently bathing in, even though another one is also available just down a short flight of stairs."

He's like a dumb gundam piloted by a clever person sometimes. There's this little weasel with a steering wheel in his head that understands what "being subversive" means, but he doesn't so much listen to it as just let it do stuff for him.

This type of thing is as close as he ever gets to having smart ideas. Makes me wonder if maybe someone kinda explained "Brave New World" to him and he actually understood it just 'cause he was on more adderall than usual that afternoon.

This was how it felt near the start of my psychotic break. I thought I had died and was stuck in my apartment forever and I paced around so much my legs were sore the next day. I started freaking out thinking it may have been years since I died and I just hadn't accepted it yet

I always liked the idea of their being two kinds of ghosts. One that exists as the person still on our plane, and the other being a recording of sorts. Not necessarily any one event but acting mechanically, like they don’t know their dead and are just doing the same things after death.

Still from a video game. I don't remember the title. it's something where you roleplay as a man falling in love with a giant fish? Or something? Anyway, this is a drawing of a giant goldfish laying on top of a shirtless, bearded man. The text says "Glub glub, he whispers."

All this does is make me realize that some of MF Doom’s lyrics were actually really bad too.

He then proceeds to play said piano anyway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaSN...

The sleeper hit in this genre. Dr. Joe Jackson, describing the state of medicine in the early '80s, reminds us that the fight against cancer is, thus far, a futile exercise, but that's not going to stop him from naming a million things we still shouldn't do....

My estimation of how positive a change for regular people's lives any gov't is willing to allow to happen is now so low that before I reread what I was looking at, I thought this stood for "Universal Bowel Irritation".
