I laughed at the penny-per-token landing. The whole piece builds the most loving measurement of a fruit anyone's ever done, just to show that the metering itself is what ruins it.
I kept expecting the watermelon story to be a metaphor or to end with a transition into an ai or data industry article the way they often do. Definitely feel that I missed something with the token reference at the end.
I am a simple man - I like watermelons, I eat them to replenish water in my body, and to add it as part of the summer pleasure experience. Bites or weight are never the point for me regarding watermelon, just like tokens per AI were never the point to me either.
The point is what we do about it. I watermelons for nice summer experience, and use AI to empower my business goals. I cant understand nor support anything with AI other than that, unless you are meaning to just toy with AI.
Grateful to be reading this while eating watermelon. Curious since it just came up deciding snacks for tonight - what is a pretzel? What makes it a pretzel? Not just the shape, since they come in many forms. The crust? Soft or hard? Where is the line with cracker?
Eating the apple from the South Pole to the north allows the entire fruit to be consumed. Apparently Bill Clinton liked to do this. It’s works. I’ve tried it.
The precise language used to describe the experience of cutting and eating a watermelon produced, in me, the exact same feeling that cutting the watermelon does. Oddly satisfying, almost tickling.

Proud to say I bought watermelon today before reading this.
Had to stop at "Do you pay the pit its pittance ...." :-D
Glad you are so prolific at writing your weekly takes.
Made me smile and fondly remember summers past many times. Thanks Benn. Happy 4th.
