Day 3213.
I didn't have time to mourn. I have a client to meet.
Is it another company that needs rescuing from their self-inflicted AI woes? Of course it is.
This time it's a Meta subsidiary. My contact is insufferable. He won't shut up about "both sides" and how things would be so much worse if we didn't get all the trans people out of women's sports.
I ask him who his favorite female basketball player is. He doesn't answer, but his Alexa device helpfully lists the ones with the largest social media presences.
I take it as a small victory, knowing he's going to short me 20% of the advertised contract amount.
