It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

The executive costs won’t go away with AI. It is in fact only getting worse as they rely on technology that’s losing money and will need to rehire humans to fix a lot of shit, all after assuming less labor = more in their pockets.
