The JoyPoll was...

What's the problem here?

  • The programer programmed the AI to have too much empathy.
  • The AI needs a non-judgmental sub-routine, to acknowledge and accept its flaws as an inevitable part of being an AI, rather than giving itself a hard time about it.
  • There's no problem. When your AI has good self-awareness skills, they will know their strengths and weaknesses, be in tune with their emotions, as well as their likes and dislikes, and hopefully not kill all humans.
  • There's problem at all! The programmer made this the solution to an AI that goes evil.

We were an Amazon Associate for over 15 years, but soon after we published a comic unflattering to Amazon, they canceled our account.

When we tried to find out why, we received this reply... "under the terms of the Operating Agreement, we may terminate your account at any time, with or without cause. This termination is final and not subject to appeal." Gee, thanks Jeff.

But don't worry, we will still bite the hands that feed us, even if they don't help feed us anymore.

About us...

The Joy of Tech is a comic about technology and pop culture, created by Nitrozac and Snaggy, and updated three times a week. We like to feature the people and events that are making today's tech and pop culture news.

We've been making comics on the web since early 1999, starting off with After Y2K, and then The Joy of Tech, which is now in its whoa... 17th year!

We currently live on Vancouver Island, Canada, where we have a lovely perspective of the silicon valleys to the south. We make The Joy of Tech using Apple computers, mostly on a MacBook Pro and iMac, running Mac OS X. We use software from Apple, Adobe, BBedit, OpenOffice.org, and others, including Microsoft (yep, we do use Microsoft Office for Mac on occasion). Nitrozac uses a Wacom tablet to draw her illustrations.
