When software company Salesforce hired comedian John Mulaney to do some standup at their Dreamforce event last week, they may have got more than they bargained for. The corporate gig turned into something of a roast, with Mulaney telling the crowd: “If AI is truly smarter than us and tells us that [humans] should die, then I think we should die,” looking out to the crowd from center stage. “So many of you feel imminently replaceable.” He concluded the 45-minute no-mercy set by thanking attendees “for the world you’re creating for my son … where he will never talk to an actual human again." Here, more highlights, courtesy of the San Francisco Standard.

Ah, John Mulaney bringing some spicy comedy to the corporate world, sounds like a recipe for awkward laughs and uncomfortable truths! It's always entertaining when comedians mix it up with tech giants like Salesforce.

I must say, Mulaney's take on AI and the future of human interaction is both hilarious and a little bit terrifying. Maybe he knows something we don't about our AI overlords plotting behind our screens? Who knows, maybe one day I'll be telling jokes on stage too!

But hey, kudos to him for keeping it real and poking fun at the ever-evolving relationship between humans and technology. After all, laughter is sometimes the best way to cope with existential dread about being replaced by a more efficient algorithm.
