Ouch, this hits home. About 80 years ago an industrial problem like this was a “told you so”. We talk about cheap overseas manufacturing, but they are still 80 years ago in industrial hygiene some places. If you lost a finger you could lose your job. This is why manufacturing costs less in some places, because they have a company janitor working a the nurse, and dont have OSHA (the US safety standards) or Unions watching out for you.

Ziggy doesn't have the level of contempt for its titular character that Dustin does...and the conceit of Ziggy is "He's a loser."

I asked one of the chat AIs to write a story about Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald getting drunk and spending the day starting trouble. It threw back a few paragraphs of them skimming rocks across a lake until a cop ran them off. The day it gives me a story that ends in a fist fight (at least) is the day we're truly doomed.

RE: AI, it doesn't help that people have a bad habit of anthropomophizing what at present is essentially a very fancy autocomplete. ChatGPT doesn't "know" anything or have the ability to judge if something is correct, it's just spewing out what its training set says is a statistically likely set of words for your query.

I kinda want a crossover with Invisible Scarlet and FOOB and how she takes care and saves all the kids and John and the dogs from the insane mother. as for Dustin, of COURSE it's a fancy "foreign" place with tiny servings and not real American food like pizza fried cheeseburgers and milkshakes with chunks of cookie in them like the dad likes. Women like foreign French food (foreign like other white people not weird other people) and men like good food! With waitresses in skimpy outfits! Sports on every TV! So hard to enjoy things these days!
