I too can’t wait for the AI coded life-support machine or the slopped up nuclear reactor cooling system.
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

And Tiny Tim, who cannot die, his time come round at last, shambles towards Bethlehem to be (re)born.
And Tiny Tim who is the mind-killer.
He is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my Tim. I will permit it to pass over me & through me. And when he has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see his path. Where the Tiny Tim has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

If you like a book?
Review it. Ask your library to buy it. If you can afford it, buy a copy for a friend. Recommend it wherever you're social. Send the author an email, or a skeet, or a Ko-Fi. Write fanfic. Blow under the wings of the paper airplane so it can fly a little farther.

I'm currently working on a novel and at the end of an average day, I'm wiped out. The sheer amount of analysis, synthesis, making of connections, layering of prose, deepening of characterization, supplemental research... all the mental work is intense and exhilarating. Which is just to say, fuck AI.
