randal_olson · x · 2026-09-26
WIRED's longread "Meet the Sad Wives of AI" captures the home side of the AI gold rush: the author's husband, at 11 pm with their 10-month-old, FaceTimes her from a hotel to shout "JUST LOOK AT THIS!" at a laptop running Claude Code. She jokes there are two babies in the household — a small human one and a large language model, both demanding constant attention at 2 am — and she'd kill the AI baby in an instant. randalolson calls it one of the best articles he's read this year, relatable for anyone in (or married to someone in) the AI gold rush.
