Underrated comment of the day

โ€œI think a job that might appear is "AI calming specialist". Like when the AI gets angry and wants to wipe out humanity, there's gonna be a bunch of people trying to calm it down, telling it how it's the best and all humans admire it etc. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ€

This is a 3D animated video featuring a firefighter and a child drawing on the street. The firefighter needs to pass through, but the child refuses to move. When a nearby house catches fire, the firefighter tries to force the child to leave. The child still refuses to move, so the firefighter blasts him with a water hose to get him out of the way.

The room was split.

Three young men are standing in a kitchen and talking about playing hardcore Minecraft and how many times they might die. They walk through the house, showing off their rooms and sleeping arrangements. Eventually, they open some packages and look at gaming gloves.

The room was split.
