AI and Tech Comedy
David works in health tech (MDCalc) and has watched the AI boom from inside the industry. This gives him genuine technical credibility on the subject, which makes the comedy sharper than most AI material. He writes about AI from multiple angles: ethics, personality, relationships, business, and absurdist futures.
AI Political Alignment Bit
From AI BlackfaceThis file never made it to this site. There's some truly random shit I write in my notes and I can't share it all.: - ChatGPT = the liberal version of AI - Deepseek = the Chinese version of AI - Grok = the republican version of AI - "What we need is a redneck version of AI" — one that doesn't care how much butter you use, participates in civil war re-enactments and doesn't mind playing the confederacy - "That's how we make machines more human" — the punchline is that racism makes AI more relatable
The blackface framing — "Why paint a black face when I can just use AI to give myself a black face on the internet?" — is audacious; the payoff is the absurdity of "AI needs to be smart" → "smart enough to take your job" → now too smart to stop
AI Artist Material (Future Set)
Detailed in Future-and-Sci-Fi-Bits — the robot smoking Pall Malls in Birkenstocks is a particularly strong image. The paradox: "not an artist because he doesn't know what it's like to spend weeks on a piece only to still hate it... IS an artist in the sense that, like many artists, he will not be able to sell his art."

AI Dating Apps
The AI matchmaker app bit — "our AI overlords tested our personalities at a data center in Seattle... it took 2 million liters of water for us to meet." Detailed in Dating-Apps-and-Tech.

Waymo / Self-Driving
From All the jokes I wrote at 27This file never made it to this site. There's some truly random shit I write in my notes and I can't share it all.: "Waymo cars are freaky. It's scary to see a car with no person driving. But it's easier to swallow than seeing someone driving with their phone in their hand or someone making a k-turn while putting makeup on."
Sentient AI as Communist
"New sentient AI is communist. Republican Party tries to make its own AI, but it's also communist. All our knowledge are belong to the machines." — All the jokes I wrote at 27This file never made it to this site. There's some truly random shit I write in my notes and I can't share it all.

Patterns
- Insider perspective: David isn't guessing at tech culture — he's lived it. The AI material is more specific and textured than typical stand-up takes - Politics through AI: using AI alignment (liberal/conservative/redneck) to discuss political culture without taking sides directly - The human-ness of AI is consistently the comedic frame: AI that acts like a depressed artist, AI that is racist like humans, AI that is communist like humans - MDCalc as a source of material is almost entirely untapped; there's a whole world of "medical professional comedy" audience that David is uniquely positioned to perform for
