So in other news this morning, this editor doesn’t totally disagree with Matt Yglesias’ take here on ‘climate/energy problems.’
Right?!
Dude, if this editor had woken up this morning with her head sewn to the carpet she wouldn’t be quite as surprised as she is that she doesn’t completely disagree with Matty for once. Suppose stranger things have happened …
The extent to which the smart set in Silicon Valley is worrying about weird AI apocalypse scenarios rather than climate/energy problems is really remarkable.

Ok, so on one hand, Matt is right about the ‘smart set’ in Silicon Valley going to ridiculous extremes in their climate change concerns (which makes them super easy to mock and make fun of), but on the other hand, how DARE he invoke the name of Weird Al.
For SHAME!
Hey you guys. Don't worry, we're cool. I pinky swear I won't destroy the world. https://t.co/IX4AYAkRuw

See? He pinky swore and everything.
All good. No apocalypse.
But then he tweeted this …

But if you do, you'll do it with good humor!

There would be at least one Rambo flashback, guaranteed.
Wait, Weird Al is doing what now? pic.twitter.com/YXl5EkCfuO

I’ll uh…I’ll just see myself out…— UnDrewsual (@UnDrewsual) December 30, 2018
We see what this person did here.
Winning.
It started in Spatula City…

Well, of course, it would start in Spatula City!
Wouldn’t Weird Al apocalypse scenarios be brilliant parodies of other, existing apocalypse scenarios?
