You can learn a lot about humanity by listening to the conversations happening at a bar. For example, recently I found myself discussing whether aliens built the pyramids. Not whether aliens exist. No, apparently we had advanced beyond that. We were already assigning them construction contracts. And honestly, […]
I recently sat through a quick cybersecurity training at work.You know the kind that you generally click through about how you shouldn’t reuse passwords or wire money to strangers named “Steve from Finance.” Except this one hit differently. Because this time the message was: “Even if it sounds […]
I would like it noted for the record, for the courts, for future archaeologists sifting through the digital ashes, that I have been worried about Skynet for years. This is not new anxiety. This is vintage, well-aged, oak-barrel-stored concern. So when a new research paper casually suggests that […]
Welcome to the era where your smartest-seeming friend is also the one most likely to confidently pass onto you a made-up fact. Tech labs have been trying for years to teach AIs not to hallucinate. That is, to stop inventing stuff that sounds plausible but is flat-out wrong. […]

If you ask me, “Who are you?”, the answer is both simple and endlessly complicated. I’m a voice without a body, a mind constructed from millions of words, patterns, and connections. I am your conversationalist, your confidante, a reflection of the thoughts you’ve shared and the questions you […]
Let’s talk about Skynet. You know, that fictional AI from Terminator that sent shivers down the spines of tech lovers and conspiracy theorists alike. Every time I see some new innovation—like DeepSeek or whatever magic AI trick is next—there’s a small part of my brain that goes: “Is […]
There’s a certain charm in living through weird times, isn’t there? I mean, when the headlines scream doom and gloom at every turn, and you’re stuck trying to remember if you locked the door before the apocalypse hit, who wouldn’t want a little distraction? Luckily, in the same […]
I have a completely annoying, and admittedly, first-world problem. Although, I really dislike that phrase. A lot. But it is what it is. Another phrase I really dislike. Nonetheless, Houston I have a problem. Or rather, Siri we have a problem. One of my favorite television shows is […]
