This interview with Sylvester Stallone is wise, emotional, and gripping. And, it really made me want to read his memoir. I knew only bits and pieces before (that he banked on himself for Rocky, didn’t like Arnold). But from his childhood to adult regrets, its an astonishing read.

Getting around to reading this and struck by the excellent language of surrender and choice. I am tempted to replace my writing with AI because it is hard for me and I’m not great at it, but I know the only way to get better is to suffer from through. I feel no problem farming out many coding chores to AI because I know what needs to be done and it is an issue of volume, not accuracy or novelty. Still, it’s an evolving dialogue in my work!
