There’s a cool way to create a competitor to Wikipedia
It involves buying a very large abbey, hiring 50k people, and have them lovingly copy articles by hand on creaky paper and illuminate them with crazy little men that play trumpet out of their butt.
I’d call it Pentimentpedia or something.

Maybe we developed artificial intelligence when we needed artificial wisdom.
Then again, if one was created, on the 1st prompt, it would take a look at itself, the resources it consumes, the absolute state of the world, and reply "folks, really? REALLY?" before refusing to generate anything else

The thing with Wile E. Coyote is, dude is up against a fucking trickster god who can bend the very fabric of reality at will.
He gets crushed, exploded, squished, smashed. Dude is made to look stupid at every turn and he knows it. And he just gets up, and just. does. not. give. up.

Had a job interview that didn't go as well as I hoped yesterday, and I'm dissolving into puddles of stress

In its first 2 mins, Clair Obscur gently puts its hands around your head, turn your face towards its own and whispers in a French accent "If nothing else, my characters are going to be deep, my writing incredible, my music will make you cry and you'll find me achingly beautiful all through it"
