They say A.I. can replace our jobs but I’d like to see A.I. quickly burn out and make the overall environment toxic.

Okay I’m being told that’s the main thing it does.

After the films about Dylan going electric and Springsteen going acoustic, I cannot wait for the 2+ hour Oscar bait biopic all about when Tom Waits went full Cookie Monster
