Oh, sure, you only tried to take the guy out over and over. You barely flooded him with lawsuits right before an election. Just a few stories here and there to smear his name. You hardly attempted to humiliate him publicly, and, of course, jail? That was definitely just a casual thought. But the best […]
Read MoreSo, what is our universe expanding into? Another universe? A giant cosmic void? The mind reels. Maybe it’s something like that closet in your house that eats socks. Or maybe it’s nothing, which sounds mysterious but is really just the universe’s way of saying, “I don’t owe you an explanation.”
Read MoreAlright, so what do we get when we “read between the lines” of the latest U.S. election? Well, for one, it’s like signing up for a contest where the prize might be a fantastic new target on your back. And yes, if you’re lucky, you too could find yourself swept into the whirlwind of political […]
Read MoreThe scariest moment of my childhood lingers, sharp and vivid, like it happened only yesterday. It started with a bored kid, left alone with nothing but a restless urge to explore. I crept down into the basement, the air thick and stale, shadows draping across every forgotten box and corner. Just as I reached the […]
Read MoreSo, let’s say someone comes up with the idea that schools are secretly shipping kids off to get gender reassignment surgeries, and of course, there’s zero evidence for it. But hey, lack of evidence doesn’t mean it’s not happening, right? I mean, just because we don’t find fingerprints at a crime scene doesn’t mean the […]
Read MoreAlright, let’s summon the one and only “7 Zark 7” from the legendary (but questionably sane) universe of Battle of the Planets. Imagine an AGI chatbot that’s so helpful it’ll automate every boring task for you while you kick back, pile on the snacks, and watch the pounds and existential dread slowly pile up.
Read MoreAh, Computer Killers—a film that really goes deep, or at least tries to. Imagine a world where drugs are the remote control, and you’re the TV, flipping channels you didn’t even ask for. But it doesn’t stop there. No, now enter computers, those big, clunky machines with more authority over people than any government could […]
Read MoreSo, I assembled a crack team of AGI agents—basically, a bunch of AI minions with questionable ethics—and had them build me an IMDB clone in the background. First, I sweet-talked Claude AI into giving me an API key, set up Docker, and voilà! Now I could bark commands at the agents while they rummaged through […]
Read MoreFor 800 years, property law had trudged along, a relic of feudalism that even Henry VIII couldn’t kill off completely. But then along came Willard v. First Church of Christ, and—poof—centuries of common law got tossed out like last week’s leftovers. California, ever the trendsetter, decided that a random third party could now waltz in […]
Read MoreSure, anything’s possible if you remember that a scientist like Lord Kelvin once declared airplanes impossible. So, yeah, given that track record, why not throw in teleportation and the utterly unimaginable while we’re at it? What exactly are we dealing with in this life?
