Plot

Tom Leslie is having some trouble at his newspaper job, so his wife, a stamp collector, suggests he distract himself with a former hobby of his own, photography. Tom takes his son Robert to a national park, where the boy, a short-wave radio enthusiast, enjoys his hobby, too.

A park ranger informs the Leslies that a pyromaniac is on the loose and to be careful. Soon they and others are threatened by a roaring blaze, but Robert's radio enables them to send for life-saving help, while a photo Tom takes of the fire ends up capturing the pyromaniac in the same frame.

Cast
gollark: Also that since current "AI" approaches seem to work by just throwing data and masses of computing time at the problem, the barrier to entry will be higher than with a simpler solution.
gollark: A worrying thing about having self-driving cars have piles of onboard "AI" and processing is that that will probably make them more vulnerable to exciting security problems.
gollark: In the UK we have nationalized healthcare and it... mostly works? It does burn a ridiculous amount of money, though.
gollark: Touchscreen keyboards always do that. Shame there are so few phones with hardware keyboards.
gollark: But you're probably not a bot, I guess. Unless we're all secretly bots.
