I was disadvantaged in the duel as I had sold my pistols to buy a comb for my wife's beautiful hair. But as we turned on the count of ten, I saw she had shaved her head so loose hair would not interfere with her deadly bald aim.

AI will not write "They Not Like Us" *or* a Shakespearian sonnet
AI can write a chord progression and lyrics but can use the power of music to blame its problems on its ex?
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

one way the media really fucked us over when it came to trump was portraying him as a big-time, powerful exec who had a ton of world class executive experience, when in reality he was an LLC king who got most of what he had by ripping off people he hired to do the work and cheating on his taxes
he went from having never held any office at any level straight to the presidency. he’s never even run a very large company — all of the trump org scams have been tightly held with a pretty small number of actual employees, they’ve always farmed everything to contractors who they then ripped off
