The AI Manifesto 2023: Sam Altman’s Bold Demand that you Wake Up
Just last Friday, Sam Altman, visionary CEO of OpenAI, published a long blog post to the OpenAI website. As with most (not all!) of Sam’s posts, it is well-thought out, forward-seeing, and clear… and a bit shocking. In my mind, it reads more like a genuine AI Manifesto and less like just another thought piece.…

AI Censorship: ChatGPT’s Dirty Little Secret
The situation is actually far worse than I had previously imagined. On Top of the ridiculous instruction set that attempts to conform a politically correct AI, there is an even earlier layer applied, this one at both the training dataset (content pre-scrub) and the output (real-time filtering) levels.

The Choice: and the Plan for Humans to Deal with AGI
I humbly present to you: The Choice. This is perhaps the most important and relevant post which I’ve yet to write on this here lil website. It is, basically, what you’ve all been asking me for — or rather, what you ask once I’ve convinced you that the AI Tsunami is actually something a) real,…

Who Owns my iPhone 14? The shocking truth: Not Me.
SYNOPSIS: The year is 2022. Everything from your car to your washing machine to your fricking lightbulb is “smart” and “connected.” While this has a massive upside in terms of convenience and magic, it also has a massive downside: you never really own it. Think about it: If Apple blacklists you, your shiny new iPhone…
