If a thousand people bought one of my games, it would be life-changing what I could do with the money. I could settle my medical and credit card debt. I could help some of my friends on this site get out of THEIR medical debt.

Since I just sold a copy (YAY!), I'm going to #SelfPromoSaturday what I think is my best named game:
Claws & Affect - Cats versus the Supernatural.
And "affect" is used correctly!

AI creates an illusion of work, not work proper. It's not for writers, it's for people who want to 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯. It's not for creators, it's for people who want a portfolio or a container full of "content." It is opposite to human expression; it is simulacra. A plastic hamburger on a tray.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.
Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)
