Depends on what kind of rich person were talking about. I’ve always thought it was interesting how money worked for them.

There are the, I guess insecure rich. Often inheritance/trust fund kids, they are concerned with money, appearances, details.

One time, I met someone who was self-made rich. Not medium rich, but routinely on richest people in the world lists rich. That dude was serene as fuck. Ce across like a perfectly regular dude, except for (1) things always went his way. Like he’d say “I prefer this to happen” and five dudes show up out of nowhere and make it happen. (2) The only times he was not serene was when it came to the details of his work. Then he was the most meticulous motherfucker I’d ever met.

Side benefit of the extreme proliferation of gambling: basically every bar has a shitload of quarters now.

I just flag every email from IT and HR as a phish

The idealist in me says “fuck yeah”

The pragmatist in me says “fuck, we’re gonna have to do more mandatory cybersecurity training next week”

People are already anthropomorphizing AI. That’s a good chunk of the problem. If you get used to being shitty to an AI that takes it, then you’re a lot more likely to be shitty when you go touch grass.

This is also the best argument I ever heard against AI friend/relationship apps. It’s teaching you a certain style of communication which may well prove catastrophic in real life relationships.
