So the question isn’t whether the year exists… It’s whether it’s old enough to grow up.

If you’re tired of panic headlines and want perspective instead, this one’s worth your time. This video was produces with the assistance of the following tools: ChatGPT, NotebookLM, Slide Deck, ScreenPal, and I did the narration.
