New York City has seen it all, from taxi drivers who claim to have seen the Loch Ness Monster in the Hudson River to rats who have aspirations for Broadway. But nothing quite compares to the recent sensation that’s taken the city by storm: Bigfoot Zombie. That’s right, our favorite lumbering, undead beast has now decided, due to being inspired by the “AI in NYC” Community, to trade in his forest camouflage for a data science certificate.
One might wonder, “Why would Bigfoot Zombie want to dabble in AI?” Well, rumor has it that after watching reruns of “Manhattan Machines” on a mobile phone left by some unfortunate campers, our hirsute friend felt the call of the coding wild. I mean, if Pied Piper can do it, why can’t he?
The first step for Bigfoot Zombie was to master the art of typing. This was a monumental task, considering his gigantic fingers and lack of coordination. After breaking seventeen keyboards, he found solace in a voice-assisted coding tool (courtesy of some innovative AI experts). Now, he just growls his commands, and voila! Code appears.
For someone who is officially over 40, his first project? An app called “BrainMunch,” aiming to connect zombies worldwide and rate the best brains in town. Reviews include comments like “Brain was slightly overcooked, but the frontal lobe was to die for.”
The “AI in NYC” community, initially skeptical, is now abuzz. Venture capitalists are lining up, wanting to be the first to invest in the next undead unicorn startup. One investor was heard saying, “He’s got the bite, now he just needs the bytes!”
Bigfoot Zombie has also been a regular at tech meetups. And while his networking skills are a bit, well, aggressive (pro tip: never stand between him and the snack table), his passion for AI is undeniable. His pitch? “Ugghh… AI… Brains… Ugghh… Profit?”
As with any budding entrepreneur, branding is key. Bigfoot Zombie has now launched his own line of merchandise. From “Code and Consume” hoodies to “I debug and devour” coffee mugs, he’s making sure his personal brand is on point.
Of course, not everyone is thrilled with Bigfoot Zombie’s tech aspirations. Traditionalists argue that a zombie’s place is in the woods, scaring campers, not in a WeWork, sipping on cold brew. But Bigfoot Zombie remains undeterred, his vision (or whatever’s left of it) clear and unyielding.
In conclusion, while some may see Bigfoot Zombie’s foray into AI as just another quirky NYC tale, there’s a lesson here for all of us. No matter who (or what) you are, it’s never too late to follow your dreams, break barriers, and maybe munch on a few brains along the way. But, it is also important to note that this tech obsession is coming from a good place, this Sasquatch Undead wants to use AI to create solutions for America, as a way to thank all those from all over the U.S. to go camping in the forest he lived in, thereby providing a steady stream of lunches.
So the next time you’re in NYC, and you see a massive, hairy figure hunched over a laptop at a local coffee shop, remember: he’s not just looking for his next meal, he’s also debugging his code. Give him a nod, and perhaps a wide berth. After all, everyone deserves a shot at the American dream, even Bigfoot Zombie.
