SHIFTHEADS: From Florida Shenanigans to Fiero Dreams: The Week’s Wildest Stories

Workplace AI adoption challenges start when your assistant stops challenging you. You're using ChatGPT. You draft something. It responds: "That's a great idea. This is good." You refine it. Same response. You've entered what Mohit Rajhans calls the Ralph Wiggum effect. The AI isn't helping you think better. It's placating you. And now you have to prompt it to disagree, which is the opposite of what anyone taught you to do with AI.

You thought AI was a laser beam. Point it at a problem, get 1% of what it can do. Turns out it's a bulldozer. It gives you 100%, and now you're writing rules to exclude the 99% you don't need. That's more work, not less. Meanwhile, knowledge management is the single biggest corporate AI issue. People won't use sanctioned tools because they're worried the first five drafts will be documented and look bad. So they're using ChatGPT on their phones instead of the Copilot their company pays for. More people are using unauthorized AI than the approved tools. It's called shadow AI, and it's happening in real time with no rule book.

Cloudbot and Moltbot are the counter-trend. Personal AI hubs you air-gap from the internet so they only train on your information. The nerds are building sovereignty. The rest of the workplace is still figuring out whether the efficiency tool is making them more efficient or just telling them they're doing great.

ICYMI - The AI Helper That Only Tells You You're Great

Edmonton Oilers superfan known as McMullet just attended his 200th consecutive game. You're doing the math: he lives 30 minutes east of Calgary, drives two and a half hours north to Edmonton, then 30 minutes downtown. Three and a half hours each way. For every single home game. Including matchups against Columbus Blue Jackets. Including games during emotional breakdowns when the team struggles. He bought season tickets after being sober for a year when his wife told him to do something for himself. Now he helps others in recovery too.

Meanwhile, dental floss has expiry dates despite being string with no medical ingredients. Netflix greenlit a show where a man climbed Taipei 101's 1,800 feet with bare hands, creating content with only two possible endings: success or watching someone die in high definition on live television. The ethical question: is this different from Evel Knievel's Grand Canyon stunts, or does HD change everything? French climber Alain Robert did it with ropes in 2004 taking four hours. This guy did it ropeless. Oscar Meyer Wiener 500 returns with cars named after hot dog flavors racing around the Wiener Circle.

Three and a half hours each way for 200 consecutive games isn't fandom. It's commitment bordering on madness, powered by sobriety and wife encouragement. Netflix betting on either triumph or tragedy in 4K raises questions Evel Knievel never faced. Dental floss expires for reasons nobody can explain. The world keeps getting weirder.

NEW - The Three-Hour Drive This Fan Makes More Than 41 Times a Year

Food expiry dates dictate what you toss and what you keep. You open the fridge, check the date, throw out the yogurt. But here's the thing: some of those dates are meaningless, while others you're ignoring completely. Your dental floss has an expiry date. So does bar soap. Honey that's turned into a brick technically lasts forever, but the package says otherwise.

The hosts test the logic: eggs float or sink to reveal freshness, not the carton date. Milk? Your nose knows better than any stamp. Spices fade but don't spoil. Meanwhile, you're gambling with wedding budgets and wondering when "sell by" became "throw away by." One co-host is planning a wedding, discovering that family politics cost more than the venue, while the other admits counseling beats lawyers every time.

You'll recognize which dates protect you and which ones just sell you more product. The next time you're about to toss something, you'll know whether the date matters or the manufacturer just wants your money. And you'll understand why some things expire when they shouldn't, and others never should have lasted this long.
