Stupid Takes

A weekly by Essyad · Free

The stupidest things said about AI and tech this week. Checked, then answered by a donkey.

Chatbots, tech bosses, launches and gadgets, plus one other field that earned it. Every week we collect the worst takes, check every quote, hide the names of ordinary people, and let our editor, a donkey who has read everything, reply.

  • They’re Stupid Too

    One other field each week: politics, sport, business… Tech isn’t alone.

  • F*ck Morning

    The 5 a.m. clubs, cold showers and “rise and grind” of the week. The donkey hates mornings.
