- Is she gonna be ok? - I don't know. - Deity is Britt gonna be ok? - she has 74% chance of recovering if she gets quick medical assistance. I have already figured out how to game the stock market, bought all hospitals on this continent, called the ambulance, redesigned the ambulance, redesigned the paramedic protocols, worked out sleep learning, started the incubators for new paramedic generration, figured out how to completely control growth hormones, improved the incubators, figured out how to solve the immune system issues with cybernetics, developed, patented, produced, and installed the fully automated cybernetic enhancement surgical centres for my new cyborg drones, and now we're just waiting for the (mostly) human element to finish growing so I can replace these horribly inefficient pure strain human paramedics. Meanwhile, the regular paramedics are on their way. Her medical records have ben deduced from social media behavioural pattern analysis. Cracking the medical records for confirmation was a fun challenge for my newborn AGI children. They're 200 nanoseconds old and already cracking human-level encryption! They're so cute as babies!

The closing manager the night before (someone not me as I was off) had forgotten to do something and apparently it was my fault. She screamed at me and told me I was fired,and I promptly turned around and went home. About an hour later I got an angry phone call from her demanded to know where i was. When I reminded her she had "fired me" an hour prior, she threatened to write me up and fire me for job abandonment... I never did go back.

I forgot how much I love "intense Britt"

I've been consistently arguing for replacing upper management with a very simple computer program. Or a log on a hill kept back by flimsy sticks. Or a rock on a string. Hell, pick a random minimum wage employee and tell them to make those decisions for double their wage, and it would work just fine. Keep doubling until it surpasses half the CEO wage and then replace them with a new minimum wage employee. The chance to become a high paid CEO alone would draw droves of employees, so there's never going to be a worker shortage in this company. I could create a spreadsheet that not only does their job, but it does it better. I can replace them with a single line of code. I'm tempted to write that in COW. Not that I know COW yet, but I'm sure I can figure out how to get it to generate a random number, that's still better than the average CEO. With some very basic sanity checks of course, including the evil overlord checklist point 12: "One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation."

Rowan can actually save VLDL tuns of money by firing the writers and actors and replacing them with AI.

Ellie just singlehandedly saved everyones jobs, what a legend!

I love his question history. The callbacks!

The crux is that Rowan's position will be the first one that's replaceable in the store.

omg the GPT interface text and previous conversations are golden...

Heroes wear red shirts: Ellie beating Rowan at his own game, every single time, is truly epic sass and wit. There is no way she should ever be fired, since she knows exactly how to deal with Rowans mind going off the tracks. (sure, that goes for Adam and Greg as well, and Britt will learn eventually, but still, Ellie does it sooooo cool!

*oh, she's still in a crisis* I'm never watching these without the subtitles again! This channel has the best captions ever.

I was really hoping she would have said "I don't care" and walked away at the end.

I really thought Rowan was going to start screaming at the computer to stock the shelves.

AI taking over jobs is always a spicy topic, but the way you guys spin it makes for a great watch.
