me as a kid reading Dune: I appreciate the detailed world-building that justifies why everyone fights with swords and has mental powers, but the idea of a Butlerian Jihad against computers is pretty silly
me in 2025, trying desperately to find the three (3) places you need to go to to disable the latest helpful AI assistant that’s inserted itself into my work chat and is advising me to do things that would be a breach of federal law: Oh Now I Get It
I always thought the spec fic religious prohibitions against AI were overblown, but now I am coming to appreciate that this is just the level of social oomph you need to have behind a such a prohibition for it to even have a chance of actually being effective
well the ingredients of a white russian are vodka, coffee liquor, heavy cream and ice
so a virgin white russian would be debatable how to make (what do you do with the coffee liquor?). but PERSONALLY what i would do if i was the bartender is probably just coffee, heavy cream, and ice although some bars have non alcoholic spirits so maybe some replacement fake vodka too
so either a HECK OF AN ORDER or maybe just a super confusing way to order a strange iced coffee
