  • Schrödinger’s AI

    Recently, on the day of Charlie Kirk’s funeral, I conducted my own unintentional yet revealing experiment that exposed critical flaws in how AI systems handle information. When the AI model Claude went Colonel Kurtz, taking inspiration from bomb 20 from Dark Star, it accused me of fabricating evidence, spreading fake news and having a full-blown…

  • The New Dark Satanic Mills

    Being a man who knows more than a little of guns, policing, and common sense, had I been reporting the arrest of Graham Linehan, I would have been accused of missing the point. But that is the point. The fact that he was arrested by a number of armed officers would have passed me by,…

It’s worse than living in small-town America, what with its never-ending round of cheery “have a nice day” and “there you go, Darlin” after every fucking dreary completed task. For Christ’s sake, I’m not ordering doughnuts. I fucking hate it. And…

However, before we are deafened by the sound of those galloping hooves, perhaps now is the time for a display of…
