AI-generated images inherently have less substance. There's no human experience behind their creation. There's no story behind the story.

If we could do something about bluetooth speakers in public, you'd have a large donation coming your way.

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s β€œa lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. β€œI also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about β€˜airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

You just know he felt so proud of himself when he thought of this, then soft launched over dinner and repeated it when no one acknowledged how clever he was.

I sincerely believe that if people were paid more equally, you'd fix the majority of the problems in every country the workers live. Life would be better for everyone, except the one CEO (who would still have every chance to live a great life).

"AI" means too much to mean anything. There's elements of technology that are good and many that we are so much better without. I'll toss this baby with the bathwater.
