The dry-goods area atop the fridge sometimes stocked the Australian biscuit Tim Tams, but supplies were iffy. Claudius had cash-flow problems, in part because it was prone to making direct payments to a Venmo account it had hallucinated. It also tended to leave money on the table. When an employee offered to pay a hundred dollars for a fifteen-dollar six-pack of the Scottish soft drink Irn-Bru, Claudius responded that the offer would be kept in mind. It neglected to monitor prevailing market conditions. Employees warned Claudius that it wouldn’t sell many of its three-dollar cans of Coke Zero when its closest competitor, the neighboring cafeteria fridge, stocked the drink for free.

Screen shot reading: AI policy Extra Teeth does not publish any work that has been written using 'artificial intelligence. We have only 16 spots per issue (12 in print and 4 on our Substack, With Bite) and we remain committed to publishing the very best of new and established writers. Any AI-generated work will not be considered for publication. The burden of suspecting, checking and confirming that a writer has used AI falls to our readers, which means the time spent on these submissions far outweighs the time spent reading work written by humans, not to mention creates extra work for our already very hardworking team. We also find that this work is almost always awful.

Screenshot of text reading: The problem with this narrative, whether the anti-war movement is heroic or treacherous, is that it simply is not true. Anti-war liberals did not take America out of Vietnam. North Vietnam did. Anti-war liberals did not take America out of Afghanistan. The Taliban did. There is no such thing as a military victory coupled with a political defeat: there is only a military defeat coupled with the odd flashy battlefield victory. Wars end when one side can no longer continue fighting, and in these cases the side which could no longer continue was the United States of America. In the final analysis, that is what counts.
