Monday Morning Memo

OldLadyKitsch

Kitsch – art, objects, or design considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness
or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way.
“The lava lamp is an example of sixties kitsch”

Would you like to become a better writer?
The key is to listen to common things made interesting.
Poets have been doing this for centuries.
Buy the GOOD POEMS books or MP3s curated by Garrison Keillor.
Below is a link to one of the HUNDREDS of great audio poems you’ll hear in that series.

“

Computer scientist and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton predicted artificial intelligence will spark a surge in unemployment and profits as companies replace workers with AI.

“What’s actually going to happen is rich people are going to use AI to replace workers,” Hinton said. “It’s going to create massive unemployment and a huge rise in profits. It will make a few people much richer and most people poorer. That’s not AI’s fault, that is the capitalist system.”

- Fortune, Sept 6, 2025. 3:27pm. NOTE: 5 days earlier, in the Monday Morning Memo for Sept 1, 2025, "The Reason History Repeats Itself" I wrote, "Now AI is going change everything. And it definitely will, for awhile. Technology saves money by reducing labor costs, which is just a fancy way of saying that technology allows you to replace people with machines. Unemployment will increase, and Trump will blame Obama. And so it goes."
