Do inmates experience boredom in jail? Can you provide an example of something an inmate might do for fun if they were bored?

And a lot of this has to do with common comfort.

That's where you eat your meals;

And if you're not…well….

What is something you have to share?

See those stainless steel stools?

You can only watch so many hours of basic cable on the shitty day room TV…play so many tricks of Spades…read so many chapters of Michael Crichton…listen to so much Top 40 radio over your earbuds, before it all just becomes too fucking much.

And as the seconds, minutes, and hours tick by, your ass starts to ache, your eyes cloud over, and your brain begins firing on one single cylinder.

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?

That's where you typically shoot the shit with your fellow inmates.

The perpetually tired don't think straight.
