Millionaires: “AI is here to stay, there’s no way we can stop it while we are actively forcing it down everyone’s throats....
* Ely Kreimendahl (@ElyKreimendahl): Confession: sometimes I write “thanks so much; looking forward to it!” and I am not really looking forward to it. The exclamation point is simply a beard for my deep existential sadness.
* Andrew Nadeau (@TheAndrewNadeau): Me: The Kool-Aid man was basically a reverse vampire. he’d go into people’s houses uninvited and have them drink his blood.
My therapist: Again, it’s not technically wrong but I’m concerned you have diagrams.

Millionaires: “AI is here to stay, there’s no way we can stop it while we are actively forcing it down everyone’s throats. It will help humanity, it isn’t here just to help the rich get richer… anyway I have some layoffs I’d like to announce.
A little girl who was writing a school paper asked her father, “Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?” “It’s mostly a matter of degree,” the dad replied. “Let me show you what I mean.”
With that the dad picked up the phone and dialed a number at random. A man answered the phone and the dad said, “Hello, is Homer there?” The man on the other end answered, “I’m sorry, you must have the wrong number. There’s nobody here by that name.”
The father hangs up and immediately hits redial, “Hello, is Homer there?” asks the father. “Now listen up buddy, there’s nobody here by that name, so quit bothering me!” The dad listens as the man slams the phone down. “You see, “says the dad, “he is starting to get angry.“
He hits redial and a loud voice comes on the line. “HELLO!” the man yells. “Yes, is Homer there? asks the father calmly. “Are you crazy?” the man screams, “I told you Homer doesn’t live here so don’t call back again!” Then he slams the phone down again. “Did you hear that?” The father asked the little girl, “Now that is what anger sounds like.”
“Now you’re going to hear exasperation.” He picked the phone up and hit redial again. “HELLO!” boomed the voice on the other end. “Hello,” the dad says politely, “This is Homer, have I had any calls?”
