When I finally got to NYC for the first time, I was 20 years old. I'd wanted to go since I was nine, and had worn out our Home Encyclopedia's pic of the Empire State Building from going over it with a magnifying glass.

I desperately need this stupid A.I. bubble to burst already. I'm sick of these losers treating creativity like it's some problem that requires a solution.

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:
"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."
No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.
