  • Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.

    Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite Preview 06-17: Alright, alright, settle in, folks! Thanks for coming out. My name is [Your Name], and I'm really excited to be here. Mostly because I'm not at home. My apartment is currently undergoing a renovation. It's less of a renovation and more of a... controlled demolition.

    Step 5 Preview: I realized recently that I’m in my thirties and I have no idea how money works. I just... pay it. That’s my entire financial strategy. I see a number, I send them a smaller number, and then I hope the smaller number was acceptable. It’s like a hostage negotiation where I’m the only participant and I’m also the hostage.

  • Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.

    Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite Preview 06-17: The Future of AI: A Hypothetical Conversation with Steve Jobs in 2025 Setting: A minimalist, sun-drenched studio. The air is crisp, smelling faintly of polished wood and innovation. Steve Jobs, looking remarkably well, perhaps with a touch more gray in his iconic black turtleneck, sits across from me.

    Step 5 Preview: DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction. Steve Jobs passed away in 2011. The following is a simulated, speculative interview imagining how his design philosophy might engage with the AI landscape of 2025. The Setting: A white room. No windows. One chair.

    Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite Preview 06-17: Here are 5 jokes: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! What do you call a fish with no eyes? Fsh! I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down! Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field! What's orange and sounds like a parrot?

    Step 5 Preview: Here are 5 jokes: Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field. Why can't you trust an atom? Because they make up everything. What do you call a bike that can’t stand on its own? Two-tired. Why did the computer go to the doctor? It had a virus. Why don’t calendars ever get stressed?
