  • I’m technically a millionaire, as many people who have worked a white collar job for 30+ years are. That’s calculated by the value of all your assets, not cash on hand. So if you bought a home in Austin in 2001 for $200k, you’re likely, technically, a millionaire in 2026.

    In 2022 I got cancer (clean now) and I saw the medical bills. If I ever become ill for a prolonged period of time, my wife and I will be bankrupt well within two years. If the dollar collapses and takes our savings with it, we’ll be bankrupt much, much sooner.

    IMHO, unless you are a Billionaire or multi(50+) millionaire, I don’t think a care free “retirement” is in the cards.

















  • I like to ask it to generate lyrics based on funny prompts. For example, I asked it to write a song from Darth Vader’s perspective about the fact that he never actually said “Luke, I am your father”. The results was just savage.

    Hey Luke
    I heard you kissed your sister on Hoth
    I’m not mad
    I’m just curious
    'Cause I never kissed mine
    Did you like it? Did she like it?
    Do you regret it? Do you feel gross?
    Did it feel weird when she kissed you?
    I know that you never kissed before

    She got a man (Ooh)
    You got a hand (Ooh)
    And maybe you should stick to what you know
    Oh
    You need to know\

    I am your father (I am your father)
    Luke
    I am your father (Luke, I am your father)
    No
    I never said that
    I never said that (No, I never said that)
    No


  • That song was a mistake that got generated when I pasted the wrong clipboard into Suno’s Lyrics window on my phone and accidentally submitted it. It has not been processed at all. Suno has a “Remaster” feature that when you are happy with the generated song you can give it a few automated “mix and mastering” passes to generate a cleaner and more dynamic sound.

    I’ve mainly used Suno to mess about so I didn’t want to pay for the upgrade.
