There was a lot of backlash to having AI police burger employee friendliness, but at the same time, Squidward could probably have used this.

Oh, that's interesting.

I would turn that setting off.

you would yeah i think i think politeness is perhaps and saying please and thank you is perhaps in the domain of parents instructing rather than some tech companies ai telling us whether to say please or thank you or to smile or to make eye contact uh i would if that setting comes by default i would probably turn it off i know maybe it'll keep people from leaving the country because there'll be just a you know a friendlier set of interactions that prevent people from going to lisbon

All right, finally, a new post-workout snack just dropped, Doritos.

Yesterday, PepsiCo decided nothing was sacred anymore and announced Doritos protein in two flavors, nacho cheese and sweet and tangy barbecue.

A one-ounce serving of these will contain 10 grams of protein compared to two in the standard version alongside zero grams of shame.

Because at this point, what else is there to put protein in?

Starbucks has protein cold foam.

Chipotle has protein bowls.

Dunkin' has protein milk.

Subway has protein pockets.

The good news, Anne, is gym bros and potheads used to have nothing in common.

Now they can bond over Doritos protein.

It's just crazy how much protein has infiltrated the food supply.

Doritos said that 86% of Americans are actively adding protein to their diets.

70% want protein and salty snacks.

So you can understand why executive would look at these numbers and say, well, might as well just turn every single thing we have into a protein product.

I think...

There might be a tipping point at some point where everything becomes infused with protein and we're saying, okay, maybe we're getting too much or we don't necessarily need it.
