-	- # Standup Comedy Jargon
-	- ## 1. **Set**
-	- **Definition:** A set is the collection of jokes or routines you perform in one session. It’s your whole act from start to finish.
-	- **Example:** “I’ve got a tight 5-minute set ready for the open mic.”
-	- ## 2. **Bit**
-	- **Definition:** A bit is a single joke or a small group of jokes around a specific topic or idea.
-	- **Example:** “I’ve got a new bit about the ridiculousness of tech support calls.”
-	- ## 3. **Punchline**
-	- **Definition:** The punchline is the funny or surprising part of the joke that delivers the comedic payoff.
-	- **Example:** “In the joke, ‘I used to play piano by ear, but now I use my hands,’ the punchline is the unexpected switch to using hands.”
-	- ## 4. **Setup**
-	- **Definition:** The setup is the part of the joke that provides the context or premise for the punchline. It sets the scene and builds anticipation.
-	- **Example:** “In the joke, ‘I asked my wife to let me know next time she has an orgasm,’ the setup is everything before the punchline that prepares you for the twist.”
-	- ## 5. **Tag**
-	- **Definition:** A tag is an additional punchline that builds on the original joke, adding more humor without needing a new setup.
-	- **Example:** “After the punchline, you can add a tag like, ‘But she said, ‘You’re just never home.’’”
-	- ## 6. **Callback**
-	- **Definition:** A callback is a joke that refers back to an earlier joke or bit in the set. It’s a way to reward the audience for remembering the previous material.
-	- **Example:** “If earlier you joked about your fear of heights, and later you mention, ‘Yeah, so I’m obviously thrilled to be 30,000 feet up right now,’ that’s a callback.”
-	- ## 7. **Killer Line**
-	- **Definition:** A particularly funny line or punchline that always gets a big laugh.
-	- **Example:** “I’ve got this killer line about working from home that always slays.”
-	- ## 8. **Bombing**
-	- **Definition:** Bombing is when your set or joke fails to get laughs. Every comedian experiences this at some point.
-	- **Example:** “I tried a new bit last night, and it bombed so hard the room went silent.”
-	- ## 9. **Crushing/Killing**
-	- **Definition:** Crushing or killing means you’re doing exceptionally well, and the audience is loving your set.
-	- **Example:** “I was killing it last night—the crowd couldn’t stop laughing.”
-	- ## 10. **Heckler**
-	- **Definition:** A heckler is an audience member who interrupts the comedian with comments or attempts to disrupt the performance.
-	- **Example:** “A heckler kept shouting during my set, so I had to shut them down with a quick comeback.”
-	- ## 11. **Open Mic**
-	- **Definition:** An open mic is a performance event where anyone can sign up to perform, often used by comedians to try out new material or practice.
-	- **Example:** “I’m hitting the open mic at the comedy club tonight to test some new jokes.”
-	- ## 12. **Tight Set**
-	- **Definition:** A well-polished set with strong, reliable material, typically 5 to 10 minutes long. It’s concise and effective.
-	- **Example:** “I’m working on a tight 5-minute set for my audition.”
-	- ## 13. **Closer**
-	- **Definition:** The closing joke of your set, ideally your strongest, to leave a lasting impression on the audience.
-	- **Example:** “I always save my best bit about dating apps for my closer.”
-	- ## 14. **Act Out**
-	- **Definition:** An act out is when a comedian physically performs or acts out a part of the joke, adding visual comedy.
-	- **Example:** “In my bit about my boss, I do this whole act out where I mimic his weird hand gestures.”
-	- ## 15. **Premise**
-	- **Definition:** The premise is the main idea or concept behind a joke or bit. It’s what the joke is built around.
-	- **Example:** “The premise of my new bit is how technology is making us all dumber.”
-	- ## 16. **Segway/Transition**
-	- **Definition:** A segway or transition smoothly connects one joke or bit to the next, creating a cohesive flow in your set.
-	- **Example:** “I transitioned from talking about online shopping to dating apps by saying, ‘And speaking of terrible algorithms…’”
-	- ## 17. **Audience Work (Crowd Work)**
-	- **Definition:** Engaging directly with the audience through improvisation, asking questions, or reacting to their responses.
-	- **Example:** “I did some crowd work last night, riffing off the guy in the front row who kept laughing like a hyena.”
-	- ## 18. **Room Work**
-	- **Definition:** Adapting your set or delivery to the specific audience, venue, or atmosphere of the room.
-	- **Example:** “The room was a little quiet, so I started with some lighter jokes to warm them up.”
-	- ## 19. **Break the Fourth Wall**
-	- **Definition:** Addressing the audience directly, acknowledging the performance aspect, or reacting to something in the room that breaks the typical performance structure.
-	- **Example:** “When a glass shattered in the back, I broke the fourth wall and said, ‘Wow, my joke just killed so hard, we’re breaking stuff now!’”
-	- ## 20. **Punching Up/Punching Down**
-	- **Definition:**
-		- **Punching Up:** Making jokes aimed at people or institutions in power, or those perceived as having more privilege.
-		- **Punching Down:** Making jokes at the expense of people with less power or privilege, often seen as mean-spirited.
-	- **Example:** “It’s safer to punch up at politicians or celebrities rather than punch down at vulnerable groups.”

-	- ### The AI Revolution Hits Home
-		- **Opening: The Safe Zone Delusion**
-			- "I majored in Computer Science and AI in college, so I thought I was safe. I mean, whatever happens with AI—taking over jobs, automation—yada yada, I’m good, right? I’m the guy programming the robots, not the one getting replaced by them."
-				- (Pause)
-			- "When [[John Oliver]] did a piece on AI and showed truck drivers as the jobs that would be impacted first, I was like, ‘Phew, I’m safe. I sit behind a computer and tap on a keyboard. Truck driving? That’s not me.’ I was so relaxed, I might as well have been smoking a cigar, laughing at the idea that my job could ever be at risk."
-				- (Pause, shift tone)
-			- "And then ChatGPT hit the market in November 2022."
-				- (Mock horror)
-			- "OMG! I’m like, what? This thing can write code better than I ever have! And I took pride in my code. You know, I thought my code was beautiful, like it should be hanging in the Louvre, right next to the Mona Lisa. But you know what? No one gives a rat’s ass about the beauty of your code. It just has to work. It’s just gotta make us look good in front of our users. And AI? AI doesn’t care about aesthetics; it just gets shit done. Fast. Like, blink and it’s already shipped your job to the cloud."
-		- **My Existential Crisis: AI Took My Job**
-			- "So what did I do? It’s not like I wasn’t already depressed. I mean, who majors in Computer Science without a touch of existential dread? But this? This sent me deeper. I took a ‘deep rest,’ right into my depression. Suddenly, I’m looking at AI like it’s the Terminator and I’m just a tech John Connor, except instead of saving humanity, I’m sitting there eating family-sized bags of chips, binge-watching Netflix, and wondering, ‘Is this the end?’"
-				- (Pause, mocking thoughtfulness)
-			- "And the worst part? People think I’m some kind of wizard behind the AI curtain, like I’m out here tweaking robots and controlling the Matrix. Nah, I spend most of my time resetting passwords and explaining how ‘turning it off and on’ is still cutting-edge troubleshooting. AI might be taking over, but it’s got a long way to go before it can fix your Wi-Fi."
-		- **AI’s Invasion of Human Jobs**
-			- "Everyone’s worried AI will take our jobs. Sure, AI can beat us at chess, but can it beat us at navigating a passive-aggressive email chain? Can a machine really understand how to tell your boss, ‘Per my last email’ without sparking World War III? AI’s smart, but it doesn’t get the intricacies of human life, like pretending to like Dave from accounting."
-				- (Pause)
-			- "People are terrified AI will make all our decisions. ‘What if AI picks who I date?’ Honestly, you think it could be worse than your last Tinder date? If AI were in charge of dating, it’d probably do a better job. Like, ‘Oh, you’re swiping right on this guy? Based on past data, you’re about to make another terrible decision.’ And then it matches you with someone who actually has their life together. And you’re like, ‘AI, stop judging me. I know he still lives with his parents!’"
-		- **The Hype vs. The Reality**
-			- "You know, CEOs are super excited about AI. There’s always this rush to be the first one to ‘figure it out,’ so they’re testing, experimenting, scaling—basically throwing money at it like it’s the next big thing. And of course, the hype is real. But then reality sets in."
-			- (Referencing the quote)
-			- "I read this article where a VP at a bank’s AI center said, ‘An LLM is like an engine. No one just wants the engine of a car or a plane; they want a car or a plane.’ Which makes sense, right? You don’t walk into a dealership like, ‘I’ll take just the engine, please. I’m good at assembling things.’"
-				- (Pause for laughs)
-			- "And the same article said CEOs and boards are starting to lose interest because they’re not seeing results fast enough. It’s like when you buy a gym membership in January and expect to have abs by February. They’re out here like, ‘We invested millions in AI, where’s my six-pack productivity boost?’ Sorry, buddy, AI’s not your personal trainer; it’s more like that one guy at the gym who’s constantly on his phone, looking busy but not doing much."
-			- "Eric Schmidt, the CEO that made Google, Google, said with the current state of AI now, we should just be able to copy TikTok, steal all the users, and ‘boom boom boom’—instant success. Yeah, because building a billion-dollar social media empire is just like assembling IKEA furniture. Just follow the steps: steal users, add music, hope it doesn’t collapse under its own weight, and pray you don’t end up with a few extra screws—or in this case, lawsuits. Who knew the hardest part of Silicon Valley was figuring out the difference between ‘blah blah blah’ and intellectual property theft?"
-		- **The Energy Crisis: AI and the Environment**
-			- "And here’s another thing no one talks about: energy consumption. People think AI is this magical thing in the cloud, but it’s guzzling electricity like a frat boy at a keg party. You want AI to run your business? Cool, just know you’re going to need to generate enough power to light up a small country. And here I am, trying to explain to my boss why we can’t deploy AI to run everything because our power bill might end up higher than our profits."
-				- (Pause)
-			- "And the regulations, man. Europe’s got GDPR; you can’t even sneeze without getting permission to use someone’s data. Meanwhile, other places are like, ‘AI? Sure, let it loose! What’s the worst that could happen?’ It’s AI meets Mad Max out there. You’ve got drones trying to sell you a timeshare, self-driving cars driving to wherever the hell they want… It’s chaos!"
-		- **The Human Side of Tech: Unsung Heroes**
-			- "And here’s the crazy part: People worship tech like it’s some alien magic, but they don’t know the real story. Everyone knows Steve Jobs, right? The turtleneck guy, Apple’s prophet. But no one talks about Dennis Ritchie—the guy who invented the C programming language and created UNIX. You know, without Dennis, there’d be no Apple, no iPhone. But when he died—coincidentally the same week as Jobs—let's just say that almost no-one noticed. The news barely covered it."
-				- (Pause, thoughtful)
-			- "So we worship tech, but we don’t even know the humans behind it. People think technology is alien. You know what’s really alien? AI. And you don’t need to go 3.4 million light years to find it—it’s already running your Facebook feed, recommending you videos you didn’t know you needed but suddenly can’t stop watching."
-		- **The AI God Complex**
-			- "AI is like the new God. People think it’s this all-knowing, all-seeing force. We pray to it every day—except instead of lighting candles, we ask Alexa to play our favorite playlist. And just like God, AI works in mysterious ways. It’s got infinite knowledge of the universe, yet somehow, it still suggests I buy a book I already bought on Amazon. I’m like, ‘Thanks for the miracle, AI, but I don’t need two copies of *The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck*.’"
-				- (Pause)
-			- "And you ever talk to Siri or Alexa like it’s a prayer? ‘Hey Siri, where’s the nearest pizza place?’ It’s basically like, ‘Oh great AI in the sky, deliver me from hunger.’ But instead of answering your prayers, Siri’s like, ‘I found five nearby gyms.’ I didn’t ask for salvation, Siri, I asked for pizza."
-		- **Closing: Worshipping the Wrong Thing**
-			- "So here we are, a society bowing down to AI, treating it like some kind of omnipotent God. But maybe we’re worshipping the wrong thing. I mean, God gave us free will, love, compassion… AI gave us a smarter way to order pizza. If we’re putting all our faith in AI, we’re gonna need more than divine intervention. We’re gonna need customer support."
-				- (Pause, thoughtful look)
-			- "Actually, that’s the real reason I’m in Data & AI Governance—to make sure we don’t all end up praying to a glitchy, pizza-ordering God."
