But lots and LOTS of people are resigning their jobs around the world. The last one will be the, uh, cherry on top.

From the article:

"A total of 178 out of the 3,078 articles came back as flagged for AI … About half of our staff spent a month during summer 2025 painstakingly reviewing the text from these 178 articles…

Far more insidious, however, was something else we discovered: More than two-thirds of these articles failed verification. That means the article contained a plausible-sounding sentence, cited to a real, relevant-sounding source. But when you read the source it’s cited to, the information on Wikipedia does not exist in that specific source."

This is the guy who bankrupted 4 casinos. Clearly what he’s best at.

Cash they’ve got. Jail time for CEOs will work better.

That’s a classic and welcome comic style. Nailed it!

Profit?

Or, ‘P’ as in trickle-down?

That’s a really fancy way to say ‘dumb terminals to the mainframe’ … only without wires.

The link says ‘zero-emissions-cooling’

The article sez: “It relies on the temperature change of materials called shape memory alloys (SMAs) when they are stretched and released.”

How do you stretch something without producing any emissions?

Hmmm. And this is the work of the ‘Genius at Davos’, you say? And where was the electricity generated … that state that ran out of electric for weeks a few years back?

The bot shouldn’t give lethal advice The person or company that runs the bot that gave lethal advice should be charged with homicide.

A LOT of fraternities have gotten in BIG trouble for hazing practices that led to the death of a ‘candidate’.

I asked an AI to describe itself and it told me: “I am not a sentient being; I’m a program designed to process and respond to text based on patterns in data. I don’t possess consciousness, emotions, or intentions, so I can’t be held accountable in the same way a human would be.”

The other day an AI, at the end of a remark, replied: “If you have more thoughts on best practices or specific measures that could enhance clarity and safety in AI, I’d love to hear them!”

That last phrase contains the words ‘I’ (suggesting it’s a sentient being) and ‘love’ (suggesting emotion).

These ‘programs’ have clearly been designed/allowed to create a fraudulent impression that they ARE sentient, conscious, and emotional.

The words “I can’t be held accountable” also suggest that SOMEONE should be.

nobody important cares

And you’re sure of that because …

In most fairy tales, it takes more than one blow to kill the dragon…

Since the beginning of human history …

Because he knows his shit.

Not to mention all the adverts after all the stories … including anti-capitalism stories

He’s been writing a lot lately … ever since enshittification hit the fans

His blog: https://pluralistic.net/

Pretty sure a superb writer like Cory chose reverse centaur for a reason - to make it clearer that a human is becoming the servant of a machine.

A few more years? Try Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, like millions of others are!

Reading the other day a June 2011 Elec. Musician mag. Story on Moby in it, he’d collected hundreds of old analog boxes, after digital came along. Used to make his ‘Destroyed’ album.
