The thumbnail made me see the man first, and it was interesting how the dog emerged in my vision— first as a man wearing a jacket with a dogface on the back, and then suddenly the entire man transforming into a dog facing the other way like an animorph.

If I’d seen the enlarged image first, or if I’d seen it on a monitor instead of a phone screen, probably would have seen the dog first and struggled to see the man.

What was the crime of Sodom and Gomorrah? According to my rabbi (and supported by the writings and prophets), it was making charity illegal. The punishment for breaking said crime was gang raping the receiver of said charity. Only rich people were allowed in the cities, you see, with the idea that this would make the cities stronger. Drive out the weak and undesirable was the idea.

You definitely don’t even need to include sex or race as an input for the AI to show bias. AI can find other things that tend to show sex or race… perhaps your school, perhaps your address, or perhaps the very style you tend to write in for your cover letter.

If you need to type numbers really fast, of course there’s no beating numlock. 10 key for the win. Of course that doesn’t get at why not just leave it as 10 key forever and skip the arrows. I know a lot of older programs… like msdos older…required the use of the arrow keys. And some people do prefer it for their cursor, and it doesn’t hurt to provide the option.

The most interesting part of the story is how he restarts life from scratch? Dude… the Truman Show was a complete story. It had an end. It finished. There’s really nothing more that could add to that story. A sequel would basically have to be a completely different story, and it wouldn’t make sense for it to BE a sequel, there wouldn’t be ANY commonalities.
