AI bots were developed because some rich, lazy a-hole wanted normal people to be able to feel like rich, lazy a-holes, because at the end of the day, if we could choose to be rich, lazy a-holes, most of us would. And that's why AI exists. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

This is why AI bots have always confounded me. I don't NEED a bot to write an email for me. I do it quite well myself. But some people don't have that skill, and that's why AI bots were developed. I don't know why it took me this long to realize it.

So, I'm watching the scene in a TV show where this guy is talking to his assistant, asking her to send a gift with a card. "Something affectionate," he says. "No, something polite" and it hit me. Writing is not hard - arguably it's easier for me, a writer, than some, but it's not hard.

I'm going to start carrying a flask with me to all of my press events (in person and virtual) so I can take a shot every time someone one stage says "work...AND play." I figure my liver will give out around mid-March.

suspected killer: here's a manifesto where i explain my motives. health insurance companies' modus operandi mutilates and kills people media: the killer was radicalised through assassin sim among us and a firaxis internship where he was trained to kill 'bugs'

It’s that special time of year when you get to see freshly cut Christmas trees tied to the top of EVs and can’t help but wonder where the compromise came in.

I have had a FedEx package attempt to be delivered 3 times with nary a FedEx truck showing up. That's usually FedEx code for "We lost your package" but I need to wait another week to be sure.

The longer you read Def Leppard lyrics, the less they sound like love ballads and more like stalker manifestos.

The not-so-secret reality of even pre-Elon Twitter was that it was godawful for clicks. Writers/editors didn't post stories there for readers, they did it to show their industry peers (and maybe subtly flaunt that they'd published first). Even "viral" posts were generally dire for actual traffic.

Good question. Probably not -- I'm guessing there's some hardware (NPU) that Google would like to take advantage of.
