Tonda was extraordinarily great to me when I started publishing, always helping me with research. Her badass spirit always inspired me to be bolder. Once, she called me an Avenue Q muppet, and it's still the best description of me I've ever heard. She made so much of my life better.

So much of the โpromiseโ of AI right now is saving time creating.
Let me say it from my chest: all I want is to spend *more* time creating. Iโm not making content. Iโm engaging in my vocation, my calling, my literal reason for existing.
