Cartoon of a professor in a classroom pointing at a blackboard saying “every single person who confuses correlation and causation ends up dying”
You must log in or # to comment.
The trick is to find a partner while you’re still alive. Screw those single persons!
Everyone who writes on a blackboard ends up dying
Yeah, I only use Post-it notes and I have never died.
Coincidence? I don’t think so
Dang, it sucks that death somehow causes misunderstandings of empiricism
AI generated images are getting more impressive.
Pretty sure Timo draws his own cartoons, what makes you believe it’s AI?
If you zoom into the shading and into the professor’s face, you’ll see that the lineart is all wonky.
edit: I checked out his blog, he also has ai generated cartoons there, and his non-ai generated cartoons are more clean and vector-y
Looks pretty human to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Edit: Damn, well spotted! That is very impressive, though.
Wow these are pretty funny actually
Also the shmutz on that student’s desk.
Is this that cel shading I’ve heard so much about?
Spooky
I need this on a shirt
that’s not even correlation
Agreed, the correlation between 2 random variables is undefined if one of the variables is actually a constant (the formula reduces to 0/0)
Every single person who does not confuse lives forever? Good.
so does everyone else
And that, my friends, is the joke
