    love John Mulaney

    He also thanked the crowd for fundamentally changing the world for his almost three-year-old son, ensuring that he “will never talk to an actual human again.”

    “Instead, a little cartoon Einstein will pop up and give him a sort of good answer and probably refer him to another chatbot,” Mulaney told audiences, referring to the fact that chatbots still have a strong tendency to “hallucinate” facts.

      Can’t agree. He’s funny, sure, but he’s also a gigantic piece of human trash on a personal level. I really liked his old bits where he talked about being with his wife and how she stuck with him through his addictions and alcoholism, then he turns around during the pandemic, relapses, dumps his wife, and remarried some lady he met in rehab. Guy is a walking talking contradiction between fantastic stage presence and being a human garbage patch as a person.

        Honestly this just sounds like being a normal dude, not like he’s beating his wife or something fucked up like that

          Emotional abuse can be worse than physical abuse in some aspects. I just find it extra disgusting to use anecdotes from a life lived with his wife to rise to fame only to dump her when he finds an upgrade.

            I don’t have any idea if there was emotional abuse, but the way it was portrayed in the comments above made it seem like a messy divorce but nothing to imply abuse of any sort. And some rehab chick doesn’t sound like an “upgrade”

              A relapsing addict doesn’t unilaterally decide to check themselves into rehab. The first step to recovery is admitting the problem, which pretty concretely confirms there were problems. And you don’t grab “some rehab chick” from a fancy $100k a trip celebrity rehab facility. You find a pretty gold digger.

                Ok, but does this justify calling him “human trash”? I usually reserve that phrase for disgusting criminals, not womanizing drug addicts.

                  I’m really struggling to understand why you’re going out of your way to defend such a sleazy hypocrite. Do you have some personal stake in supporting dogshit behavior from people in the public eye?
