Man, when you lose a battle of wits to the Hulk, that should be a sign.

He used his noggin to beat up the Thing, even though he was weaker and the Thing was, at the time, extra-rocky. He Heimliched him. On an unrelated topic, I just saw this panel from Superdickery:

IIRC the story is that they're on an island with dinosaurs and Superman is helping keep their existence secret but won't just ask Jimmy not to take pictures for some reason.

A lot of Superdickery makes sense when you realize that Superman's friends and loved ones are complete shits who won't listen to anything he tells them.

My takeaway from that is that someone built a robot, and then spent the time needed to train it how to break a camera, instead of just programming it with camera-breaking skills to begin with.

Writers were weird like that back then. In the Space Odyssey series by Clarke, scientists have to teach HAL how to speak English instead of just uploading a dictionary.

It's like computers and their programming were just a strange, alien concept that 99% of people back then did not understand even at its basic concept and writers just made poo poo as they went along. Thankfully, over 40 years later, public osmosis of "what computer do" has advanced significantly, so now people understand it's those things that hack internet tubes and enhance photos to microscopic dimensions.

Speaking as a computer programmer, it's still not that insane. Some computer programs for things like image and pattern recognition aren't programmed so much as trained; they're built on simulated 'neural networks' of nodes that evolved algorithms to do whatever they're supposed to do based on selective pressures we imposed. We don't necessarily understand exactly how they work. Sure, you can copy and paste the resulting neural network from one computer to another, you don't have to train each computer from scratch, but saying that the program is 'trained' rather than 'programmed' to do a thing is pretty fair.

It also works really well for stuff like language because writing down all the rules for written English is an entirely different beast than writing down all the rules for spoken English. HAL needs to understand an enormous number of idioms, for starters.

HAL needs to understand an enormous number of idioms, for starters. Yeah, depending on how it worked, teaching HAL English makes sense. Hell, one of the most common methods of creating experimental AI for us these days involves throwing enormous amounts of conversation transcripts at them, and we often refer to that as teaching. Once the computer gets intelligent enough to process natural feedback, learning through real-time conversations is totally realistic. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 10:38 on Dec 1, 2015 |

Stage simulation, timed scenario, fitness function of cameras broken, 1000 random controllers, pick the highest performing controllers and synthesize/mutate for next generation of controllers, rerun until performance peaks, then make the scenario more complicated (moving camera, smaller camera, belligerent cameraman) and repeat the process. This robot was evolved to break Jimmy's camera.

Which is great since this is a guy who can, in a heartbeat, create a super realistic robot replica of himself just for the gently caress of it.

And I just read all 155 pages of this thread. It's been a good week. Now to share. Most of mine are from the start of the new 52 because reasons. I think this one was from Voodoo? Context: There is none. This is Kyle's entrance to the comic.  The Dark Knight #4  Arkham Unhinged #9  Arkham Unhinged #2 i just like Batman's face in the second panel.  Blackhawks #5  Spidey 2099. not sure about the issue  More Spidey 2099. This is the crowning moment of the entire comic's run, in my opinion.  I actually really liked Swamp Thing, but the artist did not know what they were doing with Supes here.

The New 52 Blackhawks book was kind of hilarious in how blatant a rip-off of GI Joe it was. And kinda digging Superman, as played by Bruce Campbell, there.

It might be because when Paquette drew those pages it was before Flashpoint and in order to remain on schedule another artist drew the new Superman armor over his original work.

Yeah, Deadpool doesn't seem to make friends as much as he decides who he's friends with and then lets them know, frequently by kidnapping. Taskmaster at least hasn't fully given in to the Stockholm syndrome yet.

From my casual internet osmosis knowledge of Deadpool, it does feel like it's at it's some of it's best when he has someone to play off of who can keep up with him, yeah. Of course I also have a soft spot for Darkhawk (even if I never really kept up with his stuff past his series) so my comic book tastes are pretty dire anyways. Darkhawk let a crazy hobo (later revealed to be plot relevant) name him, because he knew it was a better name than calling himself "Edge Man"  The first Darkhawk comic I read was the one where Venom throws the fight out of pity (also my first exposure to Venom). Why do I like this guy? Section Z fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Dec 3, 2015 |

Were you a teenager when you first read him? There's something special about reading a comic where you can relate to the main character. I doubt anyone here is a billionaire so Batman is fairly un-relateable (unless your parents were murdered, I guess) but we can all relate to being an awkward teen which is why SpiderMan works so well.
