1925

I'm betting we eventually find out that somewhere around 2015, Randall decided to start experimenting with an AI to generate webcomics for him. As the first clumsy, poorly-tuned outputs of a nascent artificial intelligence, these are remarkably human (if not funny) jokes-- I've made several of them myself. It will be interesting to see how the network develops, though this example shows some overfitting problems. Randall should train it on other webcomics too, so it doesn't have to lean so heavily on shotgun humor about things he saw in Wired.
