What if we had something like cassette futurism, but it was based more on early 90s with SVGA, MIDI, scifi floppy disks, DOS, modems, etc?

Oh, to be a newly-sentient robot caressed tenderly by a strong, pretty butch who's concerned for you.

a comic about printers

I remember seeing a post a couple months back of someone talking about printer troubles and companies making them bad deliberately, like pointlessly different screw sizes and a lying no-usb-compatibility sticker

If someone knows it please tell me, I'm pretty sure I remember it had good resources on a youtube channel that teaches you how to fix stuff!

This was Orwellian

[thedeadmanswitch]

we should set more tv shows in fake US states the way we make up fake european countries for disney channel originals and hallmark movies

#this is why Trial and Error takes place in a fake US state 🤭

You know where they should use AI?

To replace the CEOs of the companies. No one would see a difference.

trial and error

I will never shut up about artificial intelligence and how much I love it. How we use it now and in the future. with the books i am reading as of late i.e. the raw shark text and xx, they both have to do with forms of life that are not the traditional term. Trial and error follows a scientist that is studying computers after they become sentient. This podcast has a lot going for it in my field. I hope it’s a home run hitter in your brain field.

9/10 wish there was more

You know what, fuck it, I don't *want* some frivolous, artisanal, lighter-than-air computer with no customizability, no upgradeability, no reparability, no ports, and a lifetime of *maybe* 3 years if you're lucky. I want a fucking great BEAST of a computer that's designed to last a minimum of 50 years, with ports up the wazoo and optional drives for every kind of media! I want modular components that you can drop in a bog for a year, dry them off, and have them still work fine! I want them to make a noise like "ker-chunk!" when you slide them into place! I want a switch that you pull to turn it on! And I don't want software that constantly forces you to get a pointless, cosmetic "upgrade" every few months either! I want durability! I want longevity! I want satisfying haptics! I want Silicon Valley to go fuck itself!

Just discovered your podcast and binged it. I love it- it feels like I've been looking for something like this without actually realizing it. I've always had a "thing" for robots, but most things I've found are either robots are servants and no one questions it or endless agony about are humans playing god/how do we know AI is sentient? to a frankly cartoonish level, so it's nice to see a realistic approach. I'm sorry about your health issues, and hope your pains ease soon!

Hello, and thank you! Thank you so much!

The show is, yes, still on indefinite hiatus. Health things are becoming more manageable but Trial and Error will remain tabled until I have the ability to return in a full capacity. I've greatly appreciated all the patience extended to me by listeners. This is very much a passion project of mine so, tragically, the dayjob I work for my month-to-month living expenses is my second priority after my physical and mental health. Often, this arrangement leaves little room for labors of love like Trial and Error is to me.

Despite the hiatus, you are more than welcome to join our small Discord server, too, if you'd like to discuss things and ask questions (not just about the podcast, but about robots and AI in general). Most of our guest voices are in there, as well as a few patrons.

Hiatus update

Hi all,

I'm writing you here to announce that this hiatus certainly is more "indefinite" than initially intended. Persisting health issues—immune system, mental, and pre-existing disability-related—have caused me a significant amount of delay in returning to normal functionality and I sincerely apologize for my lack of communication of this to listeners.

Partway Decent Productions' Patreon page remains open to accepting new patrons, however billing will remain paused until after season 1 has been completed. In show-related news, I can reveal that season 2 is similarly a 10-episode run, episodes being slightly longer, and will not revolve around Harriet or Dr. Goodman's study (but fear not; Harriet and the study constructs will still appear in bonus fillers for patrons).

Being a one-person writing-and-editing machine (that just so happens to malfunction a little too regularly) is a slow and difficult process, and I appreciate your patience during this time. I also want to thank listeners who continue relistening to episodes and I especially want to thank the wonderful, amazing people who have provided their voices for recurring characters in this series so far.

Hoping to return to continue this story,

Dairy
