This is the new baseline for AI Tools and Services:...
Perhaps the near ubiquity of vampires and zombies in popular culture of late has to do with the grim state of the world economy, the seeming overabundance of natural disasters, and our proximity to 2012. EVERYTHING is aligned against us and vampires and zombies personify an implacable universe feeding upon us, draining us of our...
