8-year-old: “OK dad, you know how you said you’d help me build a treehouse? I’ve been designing it with AI all day and I think I’m ready to build.”
Me: “Oh really? Ask it what it estimates the cost of materials will be.”
8-year-old: “169,000.”
Me: “That’s a lot bud, is there anything you could do to bring the price down?”
8-year-old: “I’ll start with the kitchen.”
Between watching BYU football last night and primary program prep all day today feeling extremely Mormon today
People used to pay 6 figures to help manage calendar, email and meetings in a way that AI just does automatically now
“The Tesla Roadster launch was just a marketing stunt.”
…You mean a car driving upside down on a Hotwheels ramp and kick flipping off of it was a marketing stunt?

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is from Tesla's October 2026 Roadster event. The car used cold gas thrusters with compressed air from a high pressure tank to perform short jumps flips and aerial maneuvers in a live demo. It is not a helium balloon.

If you’re super rich and you’re not buying this I need to understand why before we can be friends again
For AI spend to make sense within a company one of two things has to happen:
1. Revenue per employee needs to increase
2. Number of employees needs to decrease at same level of productivity
When the CFO makes the tech decisions lmfao
New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…
