Well, hey there, friend. Happy Friday as always.

You know, on this very date in 1997, IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeated Gary Kasparov in chess.

26 years later, we've got AI art, robot girlfriends, even AI narrators.

Hey, but you'd never listen to one of those, would you?

No, never to Druby brothers.

No, not to worry Chester.

Your job's as safe as safe can be.

Good luck building a robot alligator, Apple.

Come on inside, friends.

We've got real work to do.

Hmm.

Oh, that's better.

Find me a robot who's gonna smoke and drink with you, and I'll take my leave.

Meanwhile, smoke them if you got them and drink those glasses to the bottom, y'all,

because the real Drew Blood has a tell-to-tale.

Let's do lunch.
