Nothing says Nobel Peace Prize winner like changing the name of the Department of Defence to the Department of War

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Yeah, I’ve seen that before, it was that conflated with picking my friend up to go walking and coming into his kitchen where he was peeling boiled beets that lead to the conversation.

Had a very funny conversation about having my head pickled in a jar packed with beetroot.

And making me being taken out for a birthday “party” every year a condition of any inheritance…

Ending up with just my head (pickled with beetroots) and my last inheritor…

A short story there I think…
