This. AI is sometimes good at the things that help make a startup successful, like launching products and content, but startups are not primarily businesses. They are primarily financial instruments.

The Conquistador from the original Zunzi’s is Savannah GA. Impeccable roast chicken on a fresh baguette with lettuce and tomato, absolutely drenched in their 2 special sauces. Johnny (owner’s son) would ask if you wanted more sauce and respond with an enthusiastic “shitchyeah” if you agreed.

I went off to college in 2008. My grandmother bought me a MacBook for school, and I can’t tell you how thrilled I was to be able to add an iPod touch to it. It would be another 4 years before I got my first smartphone, and that thing ruled.

THE WIZARD IS BACK! You have been cursed with a lot of money! You are going to become not just permanently brain damaged, but SUPER evil, incapable of doing good, if you use the money for anything that isn't ridiculous. To break the curse, you must spend it on something ridiculous. What say you?
