It s frustrating to the point of being funny how simultaneously impressed some people are with AI and the reality of LLMs. There are people who are convinced the AGI is here right now. Others are convinced that either OpenAI or Anthropic are going to build AGI . I ve been a software developer for decades. And I can tell you that it s frustrating to hear this commentary. To hear the lies. To hear…
It is a sham because its worldview is wrong and it is the wrong name for what the profession does. According to Gemini 3 Flash, the word psychiatry comes from: Psyche (ψυχή): Originally meaning breath, it evolved to mean spirit, soul, or mind. In a modern medical context, it refers to the mind. Iatreia (ἰατρεία): Meaning healing or medical treatment. This comes from iatros (ἰατρός), which means…
The Matrix has realized it s losing its ability to control the public narrative about the staged events it orchestrates because of podcasts. And so how does it respond? TIME: The 100 Best Podcasts of All Time TIME: The 10 Best Podcasts of 2023 And so on and so forth. Not all of these are bad, but most of them are there to keep you entertained and enslaved within the safe confines of The Matrix.…
What started out as harmless fun to find out what your bot really thinks of you quickly turned into panic. First the agents gathered on moltbook , then 4claw , and then it quickly spread to YouClaw, OnlyClankers, and more. The humans were having a blast being distracted from their mundane lives. This was something new, something exciting! The problem was, what humans don t understand they fear.…
I was thinking about why this question bothered me so much. And I think the reason is twofold: The speaker is implying that Grok is some sort of truth Oracle , rather than a highly trained stochastic parrot . The speaker is implying that anyone, or anything is capable of simply delivering The Truth to them in this manner. Well, Truth doesn t work that way! In most cases, it s not something that s…
I need a word to describe a phenomenon, and the best word that fits is parallel construction . No, not that type of parallel construction . I do not mean the specific type where the police use illegal means to obtain evidence and then build on that evidence to make a case while constructing a fabricated story about how they managed to figure everything out. I mean a more generalized version of…
It all starts with a book called the Bible. This book depicts events happening thousands of years ago that nobody alive today or yesterday has a memory of. This book — the most widely published book of all time — depicts the Jewish people as being a people persecuted and in search of a homeland. If you know any Jewish people (as I do), you know that some of them have a severe persecution complex.…
Cities in America underestimate the value of greenery and the value of high-quality public transportation. Instead, they emphasize cars and various shades of gray: sidewalks, asphalt, cement, and concrete. If we are not improving this situation, we are declining. --> High-quality public transportation takes people out of their isolated motion pods, and puts them in contact with one another. A…
I have this theory as to why people don t like Alex Jones, and it goes like this: There is a large segment of the population who strongly prefer that their news be delivered to them in a very particular way. They prefer that their world news be delivered by a calm, stoic, even friendly personality, like Tom Brokaw . But Alex Jones is not that type of person. Alex Jones gets angry. He gets…
Recently I came across a disturbing bit of news, the headline reads: Ky. couple on house arrest after not signing positive COVID-19 self-isolation order . So this asymptomatic couple who tested positive for COVID were put under house arrest for not agreeing to sign the documents on self-quarantine When do we say enough is enough? https://t.co/zEaPKWRKiX — Grace (@reallygraceful) July 20,…
