I am sitting in a hole-in-the-wall pizzeria having this for lunch and reading a Superboy comic on my phone and Spotify just shuffled up “Original Sin” by Taylor Dane from the soundtrack to “The Shadow” (1994).
No kidding, if an asteroid hit right now, I’d be cool with going out like this.

It boggles the mind that someone could write the sentence "he’s just The Spider, a callback to other ... heroes of this era like The Spirit & The Shadow" but make no mention of the hero of that era literally called "The Spider."

I try not to be super alarmist about AI because I can see it having certain merits in certain cases, but this is the kind of thing that scares me, because people have apparently already started to forget the concept of “making things up in your head and writing them down.”

There's an old tweet about how all Olympic events should feature an untrained regular person to illustrate how insanely difficult it all really is, and this should apply to commentary teams as well.
