Give me as close to the 1977 experience as possible and I'll pay 1977-adjusted prices and stand in line around the block for hours with fellow fans.

I don't need a fancy theater or film format.

But I do need the original theater release without any edits save perhaps for a pre-roll or post-credit scene acknowledging this is a remaster and a thank-you to everyone who made the Star Wars phenomena possible, hopefully with a tasteful memorial to those who are no longer with us.

Okay, but you could have wrapped it with "atomic operation" tags.

But I was going for Funny.

Serendipitous public conference on AI yesterday. Large numbers of participants, but it turned out that at least some of them were there for the free lunch that I hadn't even heard about. I went mostly because of my business connections to the main sponsor.

The technical talks were mostly disappointing. Best of them was probably a Googler saying stuff that was mostly conclusions I got to a while back... At least that was how it seemed. (And then things got a little weird...)

So my main conclusion was tangential. Of course. Huge building was quite dazzling. And obviously based on borrowed money and stockholders' expectations of huge future profits. I thought the corporate headquarters was a different huge building that I visited a few months ago, but it's evidently it's a much bigger bubble than I had noticed.

Oh, yeah. Back to the story. Latest news I heard was that it was a new meta-tool, new and improved with AI, that was overwhelmed by the sordid real world. I hope it at least went down with some funny new error message like "I'm sorry, mother."

Me thinks me smells a cyber-attack that Microsoft (and f[r]iends) wants to cover up. In such a case I think it safe to wager an AI helped create the attack. Probably found the vulnerability, too.

<Rubs thumb against first finger> It's the world's smallest fiddle playing a sad song just for Microsoft.

<Rubs both thumbs against both first fingers> It's the world's smallest orchestra playing an especially sad song for Amazon.

That's three things.

But this is the story that keeps on giving jokes.

ACK, but if I was an actual comedian I'd figure out how to do a callback to "... but three lefts do."

But I finally did get a Funny mod back up there!

Oh, me. I wasn't really talking to that thread. Actually on Slashdot it seems I'm mostly just trying to clarify my own thinking.

You were defeated by Slashdot's lack of Unicode, but when I first heard it I think she was from Thailand.

It's comedy gold, so you should care. Comedy pyrite for me.

Time to try again to laugh it off! Who said dupes are bad? (It's only potentially funny until the stock market overreacts and wipes out lots of smiles.)

So a thinking man goes bald from the front. A great lover goes bald from the top. Jensen Huang is going bald from the front and top because he thinks he's a great lover.

Two angels are talking:
"Why is gawd in such a foul mood today?"
"He thinks he's Jensen Huang thinking that he's Elon Musk."

Needs an STD joke here as a linkage to the doctor joke... Left as an exercise for the reader, because I don't know enough about sex, so I have to jump directly to Huang's visit to the doctor:

"Doc, what does it mean when I have vivid dreams about searching for a urinal?"
"Depends."

Gimme Funny! Pretty please and all that jizz? [sic]

Then the YOB had to go and top all of my combined best efforts with the brilliant quip about Tim Apple nee Cook taking over at NVIDIA. Terrible fathers make the best = worst dad jokes?

But I still didn't get a Funny mod point, even for my longer effort at what was then the end of the discussion. The bald doctor bit... Followed by a sick Jobs attempt, but that turd is still fresh so maybe it will get the Funny?

Definitely not gonna hold my breath waiting for better moderation, however.

Eh? Who to about what?

What? My very best effort and I didn't even get a Funny?

After the first joke I should have transitioned to a joke with the punchline "Gawd thinks he's Jensen Huang imagining that he's Elong [sic] Musk." Then a segue joke about STDs leading into the doctor joke.

Doesn't matter. Because the YOB already topped me with the joke about Tim Apple nee Cook taking over as head of NVIDIA. Even though I have a better idea: Steve Jobs. They can use all this AI to create a GAIvatar of Jobs and run all management questions past the GAIvatar. After lighting the appropriate amounts of incense, of course.

Too bad and unfunny that all my humor is so weakly derivative. Bad dad humor is predictive of poor parenting skills? "Not that I know of!!

If a man goes bald from the front, then he's a great thinker. If he goes bald from the top then he's a great lover. Huang is going bald from the top and front because he thinks he's a great lover.

Huang went to see his doctor the other day:

"Doc, what's it mean when I'm having vivid dreams of desperately searching for a urinal?"

"Depends."

I'm here all week. I recommend the Uzbeki piilaf.

Okay, change my attempted joke to "We live in a post-morality world" and mod parent Funny.

Though your number is wrong. Or you have a specific example in mind? Most of the example cases I can think of in recent history involve at least hundreds of thousands of deaths. But most people aren't like that, as evidenced by the missing hood emblems... So there are still some traces of morality among us.
