Nearly raw chicken dishes, a beef dish so overcooked some diners thought it was Jerky, two entrees that had no salt, but too much black pepper, two "vegetarian" dishes with both bacon and salami, and the final vegetarian dish that was boiled to a mush.
That's AI.

The last three wanted a free meal, went nowhere, and simply made up a recipe from scratch.
The next night, nine of the ten honored their agreement and showed up as requested. Of the nine, two actually knew how to cook.
Dinner service that night included two edible dishes, four

Two of the ten sneak into the kitchen of their favorite restaurant and steal their favorite recipe without getting caught. Five of the ten can't be bothered stealing a recipe and simply go to the website of their favorite restaurant, take down the name & ingredients of the dish.

Every night, the first 10 customers who agree to his offer eat for free that night. In exchange these 10 people will return the next night with one recipe from any restaurant in the city.
The only requirement is the recipe and cooking that dish. How they get the recipe is up to them.

The best analogy I've come up with is imagine a chef working 25 years in other chefs kitchens, finally opens a restaurant, and after a couple of years deciding doing it every night was too much. Rather than hiring a sous chef to assist, our chef comes up with a novel way to run the restaurant.

While the 80's were pretty great, we can do without the whole nuclear armageddon thing. Granted, I was a teenager for most of it and maybe not as concerned back then.
But FUCK ME IF THIS ISN'T 100 TIMES SCARIER.

I firmly believe the higher up on the income bracket you go, the less concerned you are for democracy and there is a point where you have no concern whatsoever.

When the title of the play is the literal description of your relationship.
It's date night in DC.
When your goal is the least amount physical contact. Go for the thumb.

for foreclosure fire sale homes. And what about auto loans suddenly going into default? The (UN)intended consequences are about to start cascading faster than the gestapo pulling into Home Depot looking for more day laborers.
Like a well-oiled gestapo machine if they're all keystone cops.

If entire families, or the primary wage earners, are disappeared there'll be no one to make the mortgage payments, pay the bills, maintain the property. So, what then? Foreclosures, overdue notices and overgrown properties? Should do wonders for banks and all these venture capitalists looking

Calling him a "world class hater" is very hurtful and completely unnecessary.
At a minimum he's a "galaxy class hater" if not a "universe class hater"
Or if you're not into the whole brevity thing, a "festering, bile chunked, corpuscle covered, in- grown taint hair."

Here's a question. When they feed your work into the LLM MISTAKE MACHINE, does that script get absorbed for further "training"?

In that case, Gennifer, you should know that my wife and I get excited when we see your name listed in the writing credits on any show we're watching. Huzzah!!!

The buffoons thought erecting a temporary fence would stop millions of peaceful, loving humans from gathering to show a small, vindictive gaggle of close-minded adults what kindness and love looks like. This fence blocks nothing more than their humanity. Love wins.

I'd go with Who Framed Roger Rabbit, although either of the other two are bangers.

This is one of my soapbox issues. Bread made at home has, at MOST, 4 ingredients. Commercially made bread?
Those same four ingredients plus roughly 10 more to make it shelf stable.
Unrefrigerated bread will grow mold after 3-4 days. 7 days in a fridge.
Store bought? 3-4 weeks for mold.

CompuServe. That jostled the old memory. The overriding recollection is just how incredibly expensive it was. The cheapest tier you could get was $6 an hour with a 300 baud modem all the way up to $12 an hour if you somehow were very rich and had a whopping 1200 baud modem.
300 bits per second.

"The grass, only slightly taller than the newborn rabbits, would have been a perfect warren. Not on this day. I can still hear their high-pitched cries and the bloody patches of fur slung across the yard like strands of leather."

Kind of reminds me of that period in the late 80s when Turner Broadcasting began colorizing old classic movies, and after the novelty wore off, everyone realized it was a monumental waste of time.
Much as today, it was a billionaire who thought he could make Casablanca better using technology.

I feel so out of the loop because I didn't consider the prevalence of AI as replacement for critical thinking until this year when it's suddenly the tech du jour.
Half the time, I can't get Google home to turn off the lights, so I'm puzzled by this development.
If I need a prompt, I take a walk.

On second thought, it might be a safer bet to spend a week in the Bermuda Triangle. Those pop-up wind tunnels, grapefruit sized hail stones, and random Austin power outages kinda put a damper on a relaxing week.

Coming from Louisville I figure a case of bourbon ought to secure lodging with Cargill and the fair Jess along with some chew toys for Nyx. I'll just need to order an industrial roll of bubble wrap to secure the bourbon in my checked luggage. Maybe we split the week between Cargill and you.
