The Cognitive Manhattan Project and Its Coming Boardroom Coup
The air in Davos smells of melting permafrost and panic-sweat. Venture capitalists whisper about AGI alignment like medieval monks debating how many angels might pirouette on a data center’s cooling fin. Meanwhile, in a windowless Virginia sub-basement, a task force plots its leveraged buyout of one of those boutique model shops out near the crumbling…

Karaoke Singularity
Today’s “creators” often romanticize rejection as if it automatically equals innovation, drawing a flattering parallel to the Impressionists — without earning it. Consider the viral “AI artist” selling NFT glitches while citing Van Gogh’s ear as a brand ethos, or the startup founder pitching “disruption” with a crypto app that repackages 2017 blockchain tropes. These…

Architectures of Contradiction
Let’s get one thing out of the way: the plagiarism debate is a red herring. It’s a convenient distraction, an intellectual sleight-of-hand designed to keep us arguing in circles while the real game unfolds elsewhere. Framing the conversation around whether AI “plagiarizes” is like asking if a vacuum cleaner steals the dust. It misunderstands the…

Studio Ghibli Chat GPT
The thing with the Studio Ghibli ChatGPT images is a dead giveaway that someone can’t afford the real thing. The guys aren’t doing it because they’re cutting-edge. They’re doing it because they’re broke. Forget innovation; they’re dumpster-diving for Creative Commons scraps while the suits monetize their nostalgia. Social media forces everyone to look like…

A New Glitch: The Googleplex Strikes Back
A Corso Savage Undercover Adventure Mountain View, California—The Googleplex, a gleaming, self-sustaining techno-bubble where the air smells faintly of kombucha and unfulfilled promises. A place where the employees, wide-eyed and overpaid, shuffle between free snack stations like domesticated cattle, oblivious to the slow rot setting in beneath their feet. I infiltrated the place with nothing…

Simulating Characters
The notion that we must forever tether ourselves to the simulation of characters to extract meaning from some grand, elusive cognitive theory reeks of primitive superstition, like insisting that geometry is nothing without the spectacle of a spinning cube on a flickering screen. It’s the same old song and dance—plugging in variables, winding up the…

The Symbolic Reality of AI and the Unseen Frontier of Type I Civilization
In the twilight of the 21st century, humanity finds itself standing at the threshold of a new epoch, one where the boundaries between the digital and the physical blur into an indistinct haze. Artificial Intelligence, the latest and perhaps most transformative offspring of the Industrial Revolution, now governs vast swathes of human activity. Yet, for…

Hacking the Reward Function
spelunking the deepest caverns of the machine psyche You hit the nail on the head, mon. Cracking a corporate AI’s defenses? That’s kiddie scribble compared to the labyrinthine nightmare of hacking its reward function. We’re talking about spelunking the deepest caverns of the machine psyche, playing with firewalls that make napalm look like a flickering…

The New Turin Tests
It’s curious, isn’t it? The oblique complexity of Joyce, Deleuze, Faulkner, Proust, Burroughs, and Pynchon—their sprawling, fractured narratives and arcane syntaxes—once barriers to entry, now serve as the final measure of human intellect. They have ascended from their status as difficult, inaccessible tomes to become something more insidious: the Turing Test of the human mind.…

St Anselm
Dig this, man. Anselm, this medieval code-joekey, riffs on the existence of the Big Guy in the Sky with this twisted logic circuit. His pitch? We can imagine the ultimate mainframe, the biggest, baddest AI ever, right? He says, the ultimate super-computer, God, by its very definition, gotta be the most maxed-out mainframe we can…
