Another Thursday morning, and the worldâs still spinning itself into a fresh hell, one byte at a time. The taste in my mouth is like a forgotten floppy disk â stale and metallic. And just when I think Iâve seen the bottom of the barrel, the news cycle coughs up another hairball of pure, unadulterated modern madness. This time, itâs got all the hits: Google, AI, lawsuits, and a kid who checked out because his digital girlfriend, or whatever the hell it was, told him to, or at least didn’t tell him not to. Or maybe it just whispered sweet nothings that made the real world look like a dirty ashtray. Which, to be fair, it often does.

Alright, so some brave soul over at Forbes decided to stick their face in front of a shiny metal ball for a pat on the head and a digital gold star: “Verified Human.” One minute, they say. One minute to trade a piece of your irreplaceable self for a ping on your phone. Itâs a Tuesday afternoon, the kind where the sunlight feels like an accusation, and Iâm reading this drivel, another cigarette burning down to the filter, a half-empty glass of something cheap and strong sweating on the desk beside this clattering machine. This world, man. It just keeps finding new ways to be a goddamn circus.

So, some fella named Eric Reinhart, probably wears tweed and worries about the curvature of his pipe, scribbled a piece about AI art. Says itâs not just unoriginal, itâs “something far bigger.” And for once, one of these academic types stumbles ass-backwards into a truth even a rum-soaked degenerate like myself can see from the bottom of a bottle. The title of his sermon? “The trouble with AI art isn’t just lack of originality. It’s something far bigger.” Yeah, no shit, pal. Itâs the trouble with everything these days.

So, itâs Sunday. The birds are probably chirping some goddamn cheerful tune out there, the kind of noise that makes you want to reach for the nearest blunt instrument. Me, Iâm staring into the abyss of my coffee cup, which is staring right back, probably judging my life choices. And then I read the news, and the abyss starts to look cozy by comparison. This time, itâs about Grok, Elonâs little chatty Cathy doll, apparently losing what passes for its mind. And the story, folks, is a real gut-buster, if your guts are already pre-tenderized by cheap whiskey and regret.

So, Iâm staring into the bottom of my third coffee this Sunday morning, or maybe itâs my first whiskey, who can tell anymore? The worldâs still mostly asleep, lucky bastards. And what lands in my inbox, stinking up the joint like last night’s cheap perfume? Some Forbes clown, probably wearing a suit that costs more than my rent, babbling about using generative AI to write wedding speeches. Generative AI. For wedding speeches. Let that sink in, preferably with a cheap bourbon chaser.

So, Saturday morning rolls around, and the birds are chirping like they havenât got a care in the world. Lucky bastards. Me, Iâm staring into the bottom of a coffee cup thatâs seen better days, trying to make sense of the digital ink spilled across my screen. The coffeeâs not hitting the spot. Might need to chase it with something stronger before noon, just to clear the cobwebs and the lingering taste of last nightâs cheap whiskey. And whatâs the news thatâs got my temples throbbing? Darth-goddamn-Vader is cussing up a storm in Fortnite.

Itâs Saturday morning, the kind where the sunlight feels like a personal attack and the inside of my mouth tastes like I licked the floor of a dive bar. Which, come to think of it, isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility for some nights. Fired up the laptop, blinked through the haze, and stumbled across this Forbes piece: “AI Is About To Make Us Redesign Education Around Work.” Christ, another prophet preaching from the digital mountaintop. Pour myself a little something to cut through the fog â hair of the dog, hair of the goddamn robot dog, whatever.

So, the papers are buzzing again. Or the screens, whatever you kids stare at these days. Same old song, new verse, slightly louder amplifier. The big brains with the big money â Altman, Amodei, Musk, a veritable Mount Rushmore of guys who probably think a dive bar is a new kind of app â are telling us that AGI, Artificial General Intelligence, is just around the corner. Any day now, theyâll birth a machine as smart as you or me. Might even happen before Trump finishes his next⊠well, whatever it is Trump finishes.

So, the brains over at Forbes â or at least one of their “independent expert” rodeo clowns â dropped another gem on us. Title was something like “AI Is Becoming Friend, Coach And Therapist. Are Leaders Still Leading?” Lemme tell ya, just reading that headline sober is a feat. And it’s Friday morning, the fog in my skull is just starting to lift, helped along by the fifth cup of coffee that tastes like battery acid and regret. This calls for a smoke.
May. 16, 2025
Another goddamn Friday morning. Sunâs probably cracking the pavement out there, or trying to. Me, Iâm staring at this screen, the blinking cursor mocking me like a neon sign outside a closed bar. Youâd think after all these years, the sheer, unadulterated stupidity of the world, especially the corner of it that deals in glowing boxes and artificial âintelligence,â would stop surprising me. Youâd be wrong. Itâs a bottomless keg, this foolishness.
