Happy Easter 🌤️ We considered pranking you for April Fool’s, but we couldn’t come up with a prank that delivered laughs while avoiding reputational suicide on our part.

For some, the AI revolution has done much more than make it easier to send veiled hate mail to your work colleagues. For example, the Caribbean island Anguilla's “.ai” internet domain (www.something.ai if you’re wondering what an internet domain is) raked in about $32 million, which is 10% of the country’s GDP. Perhaps Uganda should commandeer the “.ugh” domain and wait. It’d be on-brand anyway.

Have a good week!
