Oz: "Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way."

Don't think this is a thing? My wife has ears like a bat, and we also have a border Collie. Never noticed anything

Ffs. The chatbot didn't say anything, and is not capable of fixing anything. It's a collection of algorithms that express the codified intent of the humans running it.

Do better, dipshits.

No, and the companies saying it can should be strapped to rockets and fired into the sun.

My 2026 resolution is to spend more time yelling at strangers on the Internet. That'll fix it.

Today in things that are not B2B AI SaaS..... Hey VCs, there's like 15 potential billion dollar companies in this thread
meanwhile.... medicine has taken INSANE leaps and bounds in the last 2 years.
we're out here curing HIV and leukemia and creating 100% efficacy vaccines against all sorts of cancers, and now this??

between this and renewable energy outstripping fossil fuels in efficiency, the future is bright
Wanna see real-life miracles? Fund scientific research.

A team of US scientists just cured Alzheimer’s in mice — and there is now hope that the disease can be reversed in humans.

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable.

If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

This was always the outcome. Shitty unit economics for AI in b2c
“This could look like a user asking how much ibuprofen to take for a headache receiving a promoted ad for Advil in the chatbot’s response. Meanwhile, actual results on correct dosage may be brushed to the side, or buried under a mountain of ad text…”

Physically ran into Kevin Garnett in a gym outside Boston. He said "excuse me"
I got a slice of pizza in Philadelphia once. Gregg Popovich was also there for a game vs the Sixers later that night. He was alone and wearing a suit.
Ran into Evander Holyfield eating alone in the back corner of Gladys Knight's Chicken and Waffles in Atlanta.

This. Rowing machine is the single best purchase I've made as an adult.

Even 20 minutes in the morning at a brisk (relative term) pace like doubles my energy for the day
+1 to this. i have taken to trying to do a 30 minute jog on the treadmill most days and it has done wonders for my health and general state of mind.
not gonna evangelize about it but tbh coming to understand the value of cardio is one of the biggest positive changes I've made of any kind to my adult life, for whatever that's worth

Wrote about this deal last week.

Tl/dr, it's a Ponzi-curious scheme to inflate valuation ahead of IPO, after which these porn parody companies pass their insanity onto retail investors, and then crash.

All the execs will get rich and therefore not care.
