Dr. Oz is on my flight right now. He is sitting in the very first seat, front row. I saw him get on the plane. So when I stepped off the jetway onto the plane I approached him and put my hand out. What the man in charge of healthcare for the people on the very margins of society saidโ€ฆwas revealing

A poem called: AI Cannibal Diet.
A student tells me I should teach how to write using AI as a tool. I tell him we don't use forklifts in the gym. Some tools can weaken us. This is less profane than what I really want to say to him: If you don't learn how to do the heavy lifting of thinking and writing, you will become an animal that survives eating only its own shit. Our words are what feeds the machine. AI becomes our mirror. When we only ever look at our reflection, the mirror becomes the meal. Soon we are eating what we already ate, chewing yesterday's language and calling it a new recipe. We harvest our own manure,
dress it up as knowledge, and the system that feeds it right back to us. Mama and baby birds passing chewed worms from beak to beak. Never swallowing or digesting a thing, but calling it sustenance. A strange new carnivore. Not flesh eating flesh, but thought eating thought, until the words become marrow-I mean narrow.
It's the new fad diet. All the rage.
Consume everything. Digest nothing. Intellect becomes thin. Translucent. AI anorexia. Outsource appetite. All thoughts pre-digested for you. No need to chew on a single thing.

I have been to this Bolders beach near Cape Town and took a million pics of these little guys. They call them Jackass penguins because they sound exactly like donkeys. Here is my favorite from this trip (the one with his wings outstretched like he is taking everything in is just too adorable).
