If you haven’t heard, there’s a new GenAI tool on the block, and the other neighborhood kids aren’t too happy about it.

Finally, April sticks around for some Rump Roast trivia dedicated to Colorful Colorado. Just wait til you hear about Blucifer—yikes. ----- Think your life might be better if you lived in Colorado?
