> Some AI is actually quite funny.

I'm struggling with this one to get a letter right, and I prompted:

I've decided to train a new AI model called "eecummings" that will permit grammar and spelling errors.

---

Careful — cummings capitalized his own name. The lowercase styling came from a publisher's
typography and some enthusiastic critics; his wife said he preferred "E. E. Cummings," and he
signed it that way. So your model's namesake would fail its own eval.

Also worth noting he was a meticulous craftsman who broke the rules on purpose and at enormous
effort. XXX on the fourth pass is not that.

I'll keep flagging them. You're three content decisions and one mechanical pass from done.

**the old technologist floats**

in sausalito  
(where the fog logs in  
without a password)

an old tech worker  
lives on water

his house (which is less a house  
than a well-behaved boat  
pretending not to wander)  
rocks him gently  
through obsolete dreams:

green cursors  
dial tones  
servers large as winter

two cats administer the place

one is root  
one is sudo  
and neither grants permission

showergirl wakes  
brightly through the narrow rooms  
with wet hair & coffee

while showerkid  
(half boy half weather)  
makes islands of the furniture  
and conquers them before noon

the old worker  
who has spent a lifetime  
making invisible things  
behave

now persuades milk

with cultures  
salt  
patience  
and small white miracles

he presses curds  
as carefully as once  
he pressed deploy

and waits

because cheese  
(unlike software)  
improves when nobody  
updates it

at night he walks the dock  
beneath a moon  
hung crooked as a bar sign

to the local dive  
where the stools remember everyone  
and the floor remembers more

he drinks among fishermen  
failures  
saints  
and men who once knew COBOL

telling no one  
he has finally solved  
the oldest technical problem:

how to live

with two cats  
one showergirl  
one showerkid  
a wheel of something blue

and the whole dark bay

quietly

keeping him

afloat

Some AI is actually quite funny.
