y. If you're sure that it's just an imaginary structure in their head, you are not obligated. Well, you know, I've talked quite a bit before about trying to create an agent that would look like me, like a clone of me, and would survive me and go on forever as my AI version of me. Well, apparently that's a growing industry. They're called deadbots, AI dead bots. And a deadbot would be a bot or an…

But the hard plastic ones to me seemed like a safe bet.
So all day long, I was thinking, God, I can't wait for dinner. And this is unusual for me. I usually don't have dinner cravings.

Specifically, a black plastic container.
That's literally what I was craving all day long is a thing coming in a black plastic container. And apparently

it's pretty bad. Black plastic is made from recycled electronics such as old televisions, computers, and other electronic waste. So, allegedly, the black plastic contains flame retardant chemicals. There are just all kinds of chemicals, and you're eating it. Now, how many of you have had that experience where the news serves up exactly what you were thinking and it wasn't even like a normal thing…
