BRAIN FOOD > “I Can Act My Ass Off”
The interview was a bust. It went something like this—
“Tell us about yourself.”
“Student. NYU.”
“Studying theatre?”
“Yeah.”
Robert De Niro Robert De Niro Robert De Niro…
“What kinds of parts do you like?”
“Everything.”
Robert De Niro, Robert De Niro, Robert De Niro…
Self-conscious silence.
They politely thanked me for coming and I left.
Julia signed with the William Morris Agency and Alfredo asked me what happened in the interview.
“Why? What was their feedback?”
“They said you didn’t talk.”
I wanted to tell Alfredo the Robert De Niro story, but he went on to say that Julia signed with them.
I needed that box of tissues.
“You know what she said to Risa? ‘I can act my ass off.’”

Bryan Callen on how he knew he was getting old:
APPENDIX
“The fifth of our sixth horse persons is A.I. and labour. Not merely job displacement by A.I. It seems inevitable that an increasing share of our workforce will find itself working for an A.I. system, a master that it cannot understand, cannot negotiate with, and is not allowed to know. If this doesn't get people out on the street and ready to overthrow the system, then one has to wonder what will.”
Dr Johnny Ryan, speaking about the Six Horsemen of the Digital Apocolypse at the European Data Summit 2024.
