Wandering the crowded and friendly streets well into the night, grabbing two or three bites and a glass from each stop. Great experience.

This comment rings in my ears like a gunshot. I wish reality didn’t make it so poetic.

Remind me of the chance some same AI kills us all before 10 years?

I do, and I’m pretty militant about distracted driving. Long drives are captive time to think. Not rarely is there a “oh snap, that needs to get done on Tuesday not Friday” moment. Adjusting that hands free in natural language is useful.

Circling the wagons and tending our own garden is a nice ideal, but is no panacea just because we build some factories in Cleveland, celebrate the end of Globalism , claim ‘US energy independence’ (that’s gotten quiet lately.) reassessing our footprint?
