@davidrevoy Brilliant! Pepper shows the way.
@davidrevoy Method. ❤️ 🦆
@davidrevoy WOAAhh, names have been named, there's no going back now! Congrats!
PS. I love Cepper, but thank you for ending this story arc, I can't stand any more parrot or amphora.

@jntesteves Thank you 
And same here, that was really painful to show Cepper on episode 45 having her addiction to the point of running her own local model. I'm glad to turn the page and open a new chapter!
I used a guinea pig as a rubber duck. It was lovely to stare into his beady eyes and see little but buck-toothed contemplation of whether I had lettuce. Very helpful when trying to decide whether to use a hypercube. I didn't.
@davidrevoy Cepper is hella pretty, and Amall is cute too
@davidrevoy Now we need one where the duck is an LLM. and actually responds but only with patently wrong, yet plausible replies.

We really don't. I remember a post that counted the comics, and like 70% of them are about AI somehow. We all know AI exists, and we get that the writer doesn't like it, now lets talk about something else.

@rastilin @ShnoofleBear Yes, I think I exhausted all I had to say on the topic: ads, premium, sources, accuracy, economic, ecological aspect and more.
This comic strip is a solid conclusion and the LLMs/AI theme was hard to endure for a large part of my followers.
Maybe it's time to move on :)
@davidrevoy This episode is so cathartic after seeing her suffering because of avian intelligence antics.

@Stem Thank you, yes. I also feel it's a good ending point for the mini series
@davidrevoy
+1 sometimes just explains my problem needs to find the solution
@davidrevoy what an amazing conclusion to this story 😁 was she able to figure out something for the house situation?

@aeva
Come to think of it: maybe the fireball *is* the solution: use it on that parrot! 😈
At the very least, a fuming pile of metal and ash will not disturb her with "helpful" suggestions while she is rebuilding her house (or has someone rebuild it)!
@davidrevoy On topic you already know about, it works as good, or even better than the other Avian Intelligence.
And on topic you don't know about, it also works as good, or even better, because you have to actually research stuff anyway! What a deal!
Ha, Yes, this is the best part!
@davidrevoy A time-honored and classic tradition of finding the answers to many of our problems, no birdbrains needed.
@davidrevoy mais tellement !
@davidrevoy
i like the duck more then the bird.
pls do more duck and less bird comics
How does the saying go?
"You're Never Alone With A Rubber Duck"?

@davidrevoy ah rubber ducks -- sharing my coding life for years :)
@davidrevoy I always keep one on my desk
@davidrevoy
But... but.. where are the profits? I was told there'd be so much profit!?
@davidrevoy for a moment I read Creeper instead of Cepper lol
@f4grx Yes! Good to reach this part of the arc for Cepper: a closure, a solution... she grew. I'll probably end the Avian Intelligence arc here and move on.

@davidrevoy I hope this isn't the last we see of her
@davidrevoy
*Sad*
Would like to see more from Cepper!
@f4grx
@davidrevoy Gee, and I thought it was "IGNISME!" Whoopsie!

14 years ago it was a reference article to me !
Glad to have a modern revamp !
David, Jeff, thanks a lot for how inspiring your are !
@davidrevoy Sometimes, it's works.
@davidrevoy i cannot boost this as often as it deserves to be boosted.
I don't know why, but it was just going through my head when I was reading the comic.
But yeah, sometimes all we need is a muse to help jog our memory.
@davidrevoy Most everyone has more than one mind since they have more than one brain hemisphere. Sometimes we just need a quiet moment to hear our second thoughts speak above the cacophony of our first thoughts.
@davidrevoy Cepper? First time we hear about her name I guess?
1
@lanodan Yes! It's official, it's ... 🥁 ... Cepper & Parrot! 😆

@davidrevoy Oh dear gods. I know you mentioned her name in passing before, and I wondered...
And now my head hurts 😂
@davidrevoy @lanodan So does that means her name is meant to be pronounced with a hard "C"?

@davidrevoy @lanodan Oh. I got Amall right away, but I couldn't figure this out.

@landelare
I didn't even realize that there is something to "get" behind Amall... Would you mind to share?
@davidrevoy @lanodan

@davidrevoy @lanodan thats a cepstral projection I guess (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cepstrum)
