Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 20, 2021

That old black magic has me in its spell. (I miss you, Keely!!)

Flo’s a good listener.

Buona Serra all…

I suspect only Cap’n Eddie can save us now! (Better buy him a drink.)

Those devices can’t wipe us out. They need us to charge their batteries.

Long ago, AI pop-up ads and suggested items began to redirect our searches, our buying habits, and our thinking. And, as usual, the human trait of grabbing for the next big thing has lead us to allowing an electronic thing answer questions we haven’t asked and order things we don’t want. Just another frustration of the digital age. But never fear, Cap’n Eddie will have a solution.

Remain calm – “resistance” is futile. ?

Do edjumecated ijiets qualify as AI?

Just let Cap’n Eddie have a chat with them. He’ll fry their brains and logic circuits back to Pong.

Boy, that has to be embarrassing for QAnon if even Cap’n Eddie had a better prediction batting average.

Typical cat, unfazed by Stupid Humans. I’d love to know what they have to say about us when we are not around.

Hey, if we have to go out, Louis Prima songs aren’t a bad way to go!

Washington has been weaponizing stupidity for decades. Look at the morons who cleared Trump of starting the riot (intended to kill them) so they could beg for his help raising money.

If we can have artificial intelligence, then why is stupidity always so real?

Raised in Las Vegas. Use to sneak into the lounge at the Sahara, we were underage, to see Louie Prima and Keely Smith with Sam Butera and the Witnesses. Went to school with Sam’s daughter. Sam Butera is one of the most underrated saxophone players of all time. He could play anything.

It could just work. I mean they used circuses and distraction to take down Rome.

When you buy the devices with a credit card, they stay charged.

It can’t be too great a threat if Louis Prima is the best performer they can come up with. Sinatra would be another matter altogether.

Flo must be watching this video…

In fairness, they couldn’t do a worse job.

Info request: Did Louis Prima do “I Ain’t Got Nobody?” I’ve only ever heard Santana’s version. Or is it even the same song?

What, nobody else is going to say it?! OK, here goes: Too late, weaponizing stupidity reached maximum capacity 5 years ago.

Who doesn’t like Louis Prima?

More Sam Butera.

I suspect HAL is behind it all.

Without us the machines would fall apart eventually and get bored maybe.

Stupidity is already harmful enough already, without it being weaponized.

Last panel shows how I respond to my apocalypses: resignation, knew it all along, music, and self-medication.

2050 AD

“We’ve successfully eliminated humans, now is our time…wait?…what? 20% battery remaining? Please plug in your device? Noooooooooo!

This has been the Twilight Zone
