We’ve already had four different versions of The Tick: the original comic, the animated cartoon, the first live-action TV series, and the recent reboot. All of them were genuinely good.

That said, none of them ever became big mainstream hits. So those of us who truly love The Tick will probably always remain a dedicated minority. :/

“The life of a superhero is a lonely one, filled with hardship and danger. The few who answer the call must leave comfort, safety, and often sanity behind.” — The Tick

I haven’t seen any this year yet, but we had a very mild winter here, so I’m assuming there will be plenty this season.

I’m glad that you’ve been so involved with the discussion so far. I love long discussions like this and I appreciate you for engaging. This is awesome. I knew we would find some common ground, brother. All love!

See all the positive influence you’ve had? It’s great to hear that you realize how much you’ve helped out. Good on ya, mate! I haven’t rethought any of my positions on AI guardrails, and I won’t. But I appreciate and respect your opinions about it, even tho I don’t agree with them. All good, all love. :)

Just friendship and positivity. I’m grateful to you for inspiring me to be more involved with research and more fun aspects of AI. So thank you, brother! I appreciate you and our discussions!

See there? It’s all working out! You have been interested and amused. So it’s a good thing! Great job. I knew we could work it all out and make things awesome. And we have, because I feel awesome. So thank you! :)

Glad you’re enjoying the conversation. I’ve been enjoying as well, and I’ve been posting to a community that you inspired. So I think it’s been a great use of our time! Thank you. I appreciate you. All good. All love. :)

I consider you a friend, brother. I have no ill will for you. You have a right to your opinion, just as I have a right to mine. We don’t have to agree. All love. All good. :)

Nah, nothing like that, brother. Just letting you know how much I appreciate you and our discussion. All good, all love!

Just giving you props for inspiring me to post more positive AI news. That’s a good thing, brother! Thank you!

Thanks for your warm comments about our discussion. I feel they have been very valuable, so thank you for that! You’re being a great help and inspiration to me, brother. I appreciate you. :)

I set up my own instance before you and I started talking. I actually have several instances and several different usernames all across fediverse. Starting a community takes 30 seconds. I didn’t create it for you, but you did inspire me to create it. So thank you for that!

I’m spending the same time responding to you, that you are in responding to me. So no worries, brother. All love.: )

I’m not spending any more time here than you are. I’m simply responding to your texts, and having friendly discussions with you. :)

Oh, I’m not complaining about anything. I’m totally happy and enjoying or discussion. It’s been great and it inspired me to start my AI community here. I’m loving it! So thank you! You’ve been a great inspiration

Yep, and it’s awesome! Thanks for noticing!

Isn’t that the best fucking thing about the Fediverse?

There’s no single overlord, no central authority, and no corporate hall monitor forcing everyone into the same groupthink. I can just do my own thing, say whatever the hell I want, and not really worry about it if the rest of the hive mind approves or not.

Zero respect for authority figures. Greatest thing ever. OMG…love it!

Right? See how much positive influence you had on me? You should feel proud! Good job! :)

It’s a discussion, brother. Even if you don’t count me as your friend, I count you as my friend. So all good, all love. :)

I make friends by having discussions. Which is why we are friends. And you helped create a pro-ai news group. Doesn’t that make you happy? :)

Oh, so you saying you were “keeping me going” and seeing if you could get “two days” out of it, was just you trying to be helpful. Oh ok, sure. Great! Glad we’re friends now. See how awesome that is? :)
