I have been looking for a while to where I fit in on the political landscape. There is so much dogma and rigidity around the camps as they currently exist. Marxist Socialists or Pluralist Liberalism, Anarcho-Humanist or Enlightenment Rationalist. None of these really fit, like a shirt whose sleeves are too long or the mid…
Something has gone missing. Dead Internet theory has been decrying the lack of soul online for almost a decade. But now even the human generated content feels as aimless and just as algorithmically driven as the slop that proliferates so much of our online spaces. The heart is gone. Reason for posting and sharing something has been twisted and warped into a clamouring for views, likes, duets, reposts & remixing. Above all the motive of being able to sustain yourself through shit posting has taken even those with enough means already, like certain tech billionaires, down to play in the muck.
AI is inescapable currently. Quite literally every app is introducing some sort of AI into it’s main sections. My own website admin panel now has it through Wordpress which seems to have included it “out of the box” – I have no clue to which service it pings or who is footing the bill for…
In a world teeming with AI slop one could ask, why create anything? In order to cut through the noise you’d have to do something beyond phenomenal or just make something at least amazing that appeals to the most broad audience possible. Either way the chances of breaking through to anyone as a hobby especially…
I have been feeling a fair bit of #praxisParalysis over the last two years. Honestly I can’t believe it’s been that long since my last upload. Man how times change in such a short span. The more I learn, the harder it seems to see the path forward that lifts humanity out of it’s current…

Our joke has even gone so far as to have people picking out their desired roles & responsibilities within our made up pseudo-society. This musing isn’t unique to us; there is…

From the outset it should be said that I use ChatGPT pretty much daily and think it is an amazing piece of technology set to change the course of human history (as if it hasn’t already done so). But now the act of putting thoughts to paper in my own often grammatically dubious and bumbling…
Cooperation of humans and robots Artificial Intelligence vs. Machine Learning: Understanding the Differences Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. AI refers to the broader concept of machines that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as perception, reasoning, and learning.…
