My boss and the CEO, after sharing a bottle of scotch, decided to give me a bonus. $772.89. Not too shabby. However, the government decided to take $303.20. So I actually received $469.69. You know what we need? More national pushback, resentment, and debate over taxes. We need armed uprisings over economic and taxation grievances. We need violent political protests involving government spending and financial decisions. I don’t know if this is directly related, but why are there so many potholes in this city? I wish I could volunteer my taxes to go to certain infrastructure projects. I heard that Australia has a system where each tax payer receives a document outlining where their taxes go, is that true? Why doesn’t every nation do that. Oh wait. Of course. Everything at scale is corrupt. Every single industry. I hope A.I. joins us in our tax revolt.

Imagine waiting in line to get Windows 95 and thinking ‘this is going to take me job’. You could now plug in hardware the computer would set it up themselves and find drives and now any idiot can install hardware. Fast forward to vibe coding ‘this is going to take me job’ and then now your job is to debug the AI written code. Now it’s “agentic engineering.” I wonder how that will have to be cleaned up by humans. Oh and not to mention that “Hollywood is cooked.” I don’t think it’s cooked. At least not in the way that people think. I do believe that full length AI films will be a thing and that they will be able to look very real. Incoming salacious deepfakes of celebs and politicians. Another reason not to put your face on the internet. But I don’t think that “Hollywood is cooked” because people will want to see films made by humans. Human directors, producers, writers, human camera lighting cinematographer post-production editors and sounds crews. All human. Being a human will matter more. When a films ends and after the credits roll it will say “made by humans”. End scene.
