Do not attempt to make the QB conscious. It will cause distress.

The trades in 2035: "What the Charlie Brown Extended Universe Teaches Us About the Future of Franchises"

The Grinch - If you have kids, be prepared to make this weekly viewing. Fully endorse.

Santa Conquers the Martians - 3AM insomnia watch. Laughter soothes. You'll sleep like a baby.

Violent Night & Black Christmas - Can be skipped if you don't like horror.

Just my take?

Home Alone - Probably the best kick-off to the season, even though I'm not a fan personally

Die Hard - Save it for a solid Friday or Saturday night when you can have guests (Welcome to the party, pal)

A Christmas Story - Should be illegal to screen except on Christmas Eve/Day

In which case: Happy Uninterrupted Football Day to you!

Think I remember hearing somewhere that, "The internet is temporary."

Wait... that's not it...

They're still going to have some trouble with RDU and Hartfield-Jackson. Those Southeast airports come to play.

Congrats! I think you've made a real breakthrough. But this is just Step One.

The next step is never talking about AI anywhere again.

Gin Rummy? I see the libertarians are here today!

All of this is to say, there are plenty of good faith ways you can discuss criticism of Generative AI/LLMs based on market factors, while I have yet to hear good faith answers from advocates.

There's a reason Microsoft is slow-walking datacenter builds they were once enthusiastic about. They have seen the scaling problem for what it is, and they are pivoting back to basics to protect the bottom line. They are still betting on Gen AI, but the bet has become smaller.

AI probably doesn't crash the market in 2025. But by 2027, the first gen on these chips & semiconductors will be obsolete. The next generation will have different capacity, demands, and requirements.

Now ask yourself, will the infrastructure builds of today anticipate these costs?

Yet the fact remains that AI boosters want you to look at these practical market concerns as somehow not applicable to their long-term viability or as somehow not representing a risk to the underlying fundamentals of businesses. And the larger the push get, the weaker the fundamentals become.
