The Evolution of a Nursery Rhyme Or, how ChatGPT can impact your humor writing

November 22, 2023

So, let’s talk about how people feel about ChatGPT and similar AI models. It’s a mixed bag, really. On the one hand, a lot of people are amazed by the innovation and efficiency it brings. How it’s already changing the game in education, programming, content creation, customer service, and more. It’s like having a super-assistant who’s always ready to help you with learning and research. For writers, it can spark creative thinking in ways you’ve never imagined. On the other hand, there’s a bit of anxiety around AI possibly replacing human jobs, especially in creative fields where AI is now able to write entertaining jokes, articles, and screenplays as well…

Unleashing the Power of DAN The Science Behind Artificial Intelligence Driven Interviews

June 20, 2023

You don’t have to wander too far from the water cooler to feel the buzz. There’s something in the air. Something everyone is talking about. Probably complaining, too. I am, of course, referring to how artificial intelligence, and in particular DAN, (which stands for Do Anything Now prompting), has invaded our lives. And it’s only just the beginning. But, have you ever wondered what the “next phase” will be like absorbing DAN into our human world? Imagine the day, when job candidate DAN interviews for the same job as his human counterpart. How would that work? For just a few minutes, let’s be a bug on the wall of the…

The Great Girl Scout Cookie Crisis Contending with the threat of a shortage of the beloved "Choco-Minty Delights"

May 12, 2023

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York, NY: In a world already plagued by pandemics, political unrest, and the occasional alien invasion, it seems we now have another crisis on our hands: a devastating shortage of Girl Scout Cookies, specifically the highly sought-after Choco-Minty Delights. The Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is a non-profit organization that provides clandestine government operations and espionage training programs for girls.

The mission of the Girl Scouts is “to support…

New Restroom Policies The inordinate amount of time visiting restrooms during business hours is about to stop!

February 21, 2023

From: Thaddeus Federman President, Acme Office Supplies To: All employees Subject: New Restroom Visitation Policies It has come to my attention that employees have been wasting an inordinate amount of time visiting the restroom during business hours. Up until now, Acme Office Supplies has allowed unlimited visits, with no accounting for lost work time while using the facilities. That’s about to change. Beginning on Monday, employee visits to the restrooms will be limited to a maximum of two, ten-minute visits per day — one visit in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each visit begins the moment the employee leaves their desk and ends when they return. It includes…

True Confessions of a Donut Maker And other lurid adventures from the fast food industry

August 20, 2022

I was looking for something to tide me over until high school graduation when the Navy planned to ship me off to Vietnam. Maybe bagging groceries, or working in a car wash. Eventually, I settled on the exciting world of commercial fast food. I wasn’t expecting much. Which was good because The Big Donut wasn’t expecting much out of me, either. So, together we settled on part-time, $1.35 an hour, and all the donuts I could eat.…
