A horse walks into a bar. Bartender says, "Hey buddy, why the long face?"I'm reading Daniel Pink's 2005 "A Whole New Mind". It has some of that left/right hemisphere stuff I find important, and says that right-hemisphere thinking was going to be raising in importance with an age of "abundance" (material good satiation) "asia" (offshoring off many jobs) and "automation" will make artistic pursuits where the money is. But now of course it's automation in the form and of Generative AI that is making inroads bo the into outsourceable work in the "Asia" variety, and doing bizarre inroads into a lot of arts industries.
Horse says, "My alcoholism is ruining my life."
Bartender blinks. "Oh. Uh. Sorry, I--uh--thought this was a joke."
Horse sighs. "Yeah, so did I."
