My hobby when watching older movies is checking IMDB to see what the actors are doing professionally and feeling sad if it's not much. Then I imagine they've made a life choice that works better for them and it helps.

Something I like about AI tools is their obsequiousness. Even if they give a very reasonable answer, you can say, "Wrong, you're a fucking idiot," and they'll come back with, "You are absolutely right, and my apologies for the misdirection. " It's like being a nineteenth-century English aristocrat.

This is something I wrote a couple of years ago that I'm proud of, and it's truer than ever.

I just went for an x-ray for a shoulder injury, and the technician said "You aren't some kind of rock and roll guy, are you?"
I don't know exactly what he meant but felt immensely flattered. I choose to believe that he sensed my innate, ineffable coolness which only grows with age.
