  • The world is a much worse place as a result of his life’s work; it would be a better place had he never been born. If he did not want people to rejoice at his death, maybe he should not have spent an entire lifetime working for and justifying their pain and suffering. He preached that there is a hell, and that the wicked go there. He lived his life as though he did not believe it, or anything else.

    Truth.








  • I’m joyously retired now, but office work was my entire ‘career’, and it was sweet and easy. Anyone with a decent command of English and numbers, anyone who could write a coherent sentence, prep a tidy and accurate report, and had a decent eye for catching other people’s errors and not making too many of their own, could have steady work. And every company needed good office help, so when one boss pissed you off, you could easily find another. The work was less than fascinating, sure, but the pay was OK, the chairs were comfortable, muscle aches were rare, and I never came home particularly sweaty.

    AI can do that work now. It won’t do it as well, as accurately, and won’t be able to spot and solve problems on the fly or sooth ruffled customers, but it’ll be “good enough,” so with AI careers like mine will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
