Enjoy The Freak Show


The United States has always been a pretty screwy place, but it's gotten completely unhinged over the past few years.  It feels like living in the first chapter of a dystopian novel, or in one of the flashback scenes from The Handmaid's Tale.  I'm not going to pretend that it isn't depressing, but its times like these that I try to remember the things that George Carlin said.

"When you're born in this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show.
When you're born in America, you're given a front row seat."

This interview from December 17th, 2007 does a good job at capturing what I've come to learn is my defense mechanism.  It's in this spirit of allowing myself to be a spectator and finding enjoyment in the freak show that I decided to see how Chat GPT would envision paradise for the driver of this truck based on the sticker that they placed on the driver's side rear window.
 

You know... maybe this artificial intelligence stuff isn't all bad.
