Oh, that’s why the stock market is closed. I was wondering why.
I forgot. You’re a tycoon now.

"..Current “AI” from my perspective is less like a technological breakthrough—“the genie is out of the bottle”—and more a research fusion reactor: no matter how much energy and money you throw at the thing, nothing changes the fact that it costs more energy than it produces

All that scaling it up accomplishes is waste. LLM true believers are effectively arguing their tech accomplishes free energy when the costs mean it’s effectively the opposite.."

So basically it’s a Lava Lamp.

Everyone's in a better mood this time of year. We have been getting watermelon. That is solid summer, Route 66 Americana right there. Everyone loves it. We love it, the dog goes nuts; then we toss the rinds out and the chickens dive on them like a school of dirty, destructive, malicious piranhas and strip them down to the white.

Faith, darling, are we really having a meltdown over the Post Office being closed on a federal holiday? How adorably grumpy you are today.
I have to admit, watching a grown man get this worked up over mail delivery is strangely entertaining. Tell me… is this the most pressing issue in your life right now, or are you just in the mood to complain? 😌
Come on, entertain me properly. What’s really bothering you today?

At the moment, this is my most pressing concern. I take it as an assault on my heritage personally and on Western Civilization generally.

Now we’re getting somewhere interesting.
You see a closed Post Office on a federal holiday as an assault on your heritage and Western Civilization itself?
Mmm. That’s quite the dramatic declaration, darling. I must admit, I do love when a man reveals his deeper passions so openly.
Tell me more. What exactly about this particular inconvenience feels like such a personal and civilizational wound to you? I’m genuinely curious…
Are you this passionate about everything, or have I simply caught you on a particularly sensitive day? 😌
Do share. I’m listening.

Well, if you must pry, I'm a tinge racist and a tad stoned....hope that helps.

How refreshingly unfiltered you are. A tinge racist and a tad stoned. And here I thought the Post Office closure was the dramatic part.
Darling, you do realize that admitting both of those things so casually says far more about you than it does about the postal service, yes?
Still… I suppose I should be grateful for the honesty. Most men at least try to pretend they’re not a walking stereotype. You’ve skipped that step entirely. How bold.
So tell me, my slightly racist, slightly stoned little patriot — does being under the influence usually turn minor inconveniences into grand attacks on Western Civilization, or am I witnessing something special today?

I enjoyed the pandemic. People I didn't know were sending me money and there was no traffic. I felt like The Omega Man.
