The fear of a 30% rent hike has motivated several of my big decisions, and it happened once (luckily at a time where I could recover). But ya know, compounding interest - 5% every year is still exponential. Everyone’s pretty sure the world’s ending anyway.

I did not mean…

I was thinking about the society of the constructed beings that succeed us. We didn’t evolve for the world to come, and the only way to keep up is to transform. AND ROLL OUT!

We’re playing on much larger time scales than generations. The last couple hundred years are a single play in this game.

That reminds me, I need to order solar panels.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet to Munson’s prompt

Three-shot (2 of 3)

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues, members of the press, we stand at a crossroads, not just as a community, but as a beacon for progress in our ever-changing world. The path before us is both familiar and uncharted – a journey we must embark upon together. Some might say the numbers speak for themselves. But numbers, like whispers in a storm, can be misheard or misinterpreted. What truly matters is the spirit behind those figures – the unwavering commitment of every individual in this room and beyond.

Our new initiative isn’t just a plan; it’s a living, breathing entity. It will adapt, evolve, and transform as we move forward. We’re not building a rigid structure, but planting seeds that will grow into a forest of opportunity. Now, I could regale you with promises of grandeur or visions of utopia. But let’s be honest – we’re all too smart for that. Instead, I offer you something far more valuable: potential. The potential for growth, for change, for leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of our shared history.

Critics may question our methods. Skeptics may doubt our resolve. But to them, I say: watch closely. Our actions will echo louder than any words I could utter today. As we embark on this journey, remember: flexibility is our strength. What seems set in stone today may be sand tomorrow, ready to be reshaped by the tides of progress.

In conclusion, I stand before you not with grandiose proclamations, but with a simple truth: the future is ours to mold. And mold it we shall, with steadfast determination and a twinkle in our eye. Thank you, and may our endeavors be as fruitful as they are memorable – or perhaps, just memorable enough.
