Regular Business Owner: "Yeah, okay, give me 1M phone calls a minute to every elderly person in the country, telling them that Medicaid is going bankrupt and they need to sign up for my scamming private coverage policy. Then mint me 40B units of a fake currency called KanyeNaziPopeCoin and book me on Joe Rogan to answer fake call ins from people saying they're dumping their life savings into it."
Spooky AI Company: "Oh geez. That's going to cost a fortune. We're going to lose $5B/yr just staying operational."

โIt contains potassium benzoate.โ
โโฆโ
โThatโs bad.โ

"Marge! Marge, look! The doll's trying to kill me, and the toaster's been laughing at me." One of my favorite scenes to this day.
Because this post, that Simpson episode, and the other personโs comment about Rick & Morty are all based on the Stephen King story โNeedful Things.โ
Reminded me of Rick arguing with the Devil in his cursed pawn shop.
"Do I need to call the police?"
"Here, you can use my phone. Don't worry, it won't make you deaf because I'm not a hack."
