Talk:2756: Qualifications

This reminds me of Ken Thompson's Turing Award lecture, https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rdriley/487/papers/Thompson_1984_ReflectionsonTrustingTrust.pdf Barmar (talk) 21:23, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

if you’re playing with your llama and build a time machine, make sure to rescue not only randall but everyone else too ! (edit: llama is a powerful language model presently popular, originally shared to non-researchers on 4chan. the joke relates to consumer and general AI being on a huge up-curve without mention in the comic.) 162.158.63.54 23:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

The first sentence of the second paragraph should be reworded. Hairbun seems to be content to have verified the claim but the reader doesn't know if Cueball is as credulous as Hairbun. Inquirer (talk) 04:07, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

"This is essentially a more elaborate version of Black Hat's ploy in another interview 17 years prior." that sentence has made feel older than any of Randall's "feel old yet?" comics, yeez! 172.70.82.187 15:49, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

So, Cueball and Hairbun are registered voters in NYʻs 3rd Congressional district? With hugs to Randall, the best line in comics remains Walt Kellyʻs: "We have met the enemy and he is us." 162.158.187.18 16:20, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

17 years! Thanks for making me feel very old Boatster (talk) 22:56, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

17 years! Geez, I thought he'd been at it for maybe 12 years (I remember seeing my first XKCD posted in a cubicle in like 2012 or 2011), but damn, even THAT is a long time ago! Time flies! NiceGuy1 (talk) 05:19, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

This comic reminded me of a (Portuguese) song "Stories (An orchestrated campaign)" that includes the lyrics (translated): "Look at his criminal record certificate, issued by him without anyone's help. Flawless! Great! It says: his only crime was to falsify his criminal record." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GO2_skp5Pk Lyrics (in Portuguese) https://fora-de-cena.blogs.sapo.pt/140888.html Rps (talk) 14:35, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

This comic is possibly related to this joke: A lawyer passed away and arrived at the Pearly Gates for judgment. The lawyer said to St. Peter, “There must be some mistake! I’m only 50 years old, that’s far too young to die.” St. Peter frowned and consulted his book. “That’s funny, when we add up your billing records, you should be at least 600 years old by now!”
