That was Drake and the Weekend.
What's the name of that song?
Does it have a name?
Oh, shoot.
I left my computer in there.
I brought it.
I just left it in my office.
That was made by AI.
What the fuck?
That was not Drake and the Weekend.
It's by Ghostwriter 977 on TikTok.
It's blowing up socials and streaming platforms.
Go back up, please.
UMG, which controls around a third of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban AI, a modern Napster moment.
So they don't want you doing this.
Art has been trumped by computers.
What's that?
I saw some lawyer on the weekend on Twitter talking about how half his job now is just done by AI.
Like he tells you to write up legal documents.
He peruses them, of course, and he goes, yeah, that's really good.
Send it off.
Corporate mergers, all kinds of complex copyright law.
Handle it, AI.
He has this massive, infinite team of assistants that don't exist.
Spooky.
That's crazy, man.
Isn't that crazy, man?
That's not.
I wish AI would fucking do something about this infrastructure problem we have in America where incompetence is taking over as the dominant characteristic of virtually everything we do.
I was at Home Depot this weekend conducting my own level of incompetence, I should say.
Pretty hungover.
I was sitting around.
My wife really wanted to barbecue on the weekend, and our barbecue is shit.
It's really, really old.
We actually, when we bought the house, it was there.
It's a Weber, but it's rusted to shit, and I could only get it up to $350.
So I think, I call Maddie.
I go, can you come by with your van?
I got to go buy a grill.
I just want one that's ready because I hear they're a nightmare to put together.
And he goes, I'm in Jersey.
Farts.
So I drive down there and I look at one and it says free delivery and assembly.
Great.
So I choose a really nice one, a $600 one, a Weber, and down from $714.
And then I go there and I go, okay, I want to deliver it and assemble.
They go, okay, we could do that Thursday.
Ah, fuck.
See, if I had my shit together, I would have already looked that up and I would have booked it earlier, right?
So then they go, okay, I'll just, I'll, I'll rent one of these trucks.
There it is.
That's it.
That's my exact one.
The square?
Yeah.
I go, I'll just rent a truck.
You can rent a truck for 25 bucks there, right?
So I'll do that.
I'll drive it home.
Then I'll come back.
So then they go, the guy goes, hey, Will, you got to get one of these barbecues from the back.
They tell me to be prepared to wait 15, 20 minutes.
Well, it's right there.
I'll go get it.
And he pulls a Homer Simpson walking backwards.
No.
And they go, Will, come on, man.
Will, Will.
He was Hispanic.
The guy yelling was black.
90% of the employees were black.
This was a new Rochelle, just north of here.
And I'm just like, this is fucking brutal.
This is brutal.
So then I get the box.
I take it home.
It took, there was 31 steps to putting this fucking thing together.
And by the time I put it together, it was about 10% bigger than the box it came in.
A. B, every little piece had its own cardboard box and plastic on it.
It seemed like it was harder to put in the box than it would be just to build it.
What a nightmare.
