❝ She came up through the apprenticeship you abolished: Ben, 1998, the USB stick. She is the pipeline. When she dies, the thing that produces people like her is already gone. ❞

the purpose of STEM was to create a precariat. no job security, only job hopping. away went bonuses, shares, retirement, pensions.

so why would workers document & mentor their replacements?

with a precariat comes INSTRUCTIONAL DEBT. capitalists think #AI will fix +30 years of lost expertise & memory.

they can’t.

Users hate #AI. So tech made it mandatory. Even if you don't personally use it, it pollutes what you read and how systems make decisions. The computer's hallucinated word is final.

And it steals your data to do it.

Your tools are constructing you as a subject of surveillance — the #UX is making it seem normal to expose every facet of your life to companies with complete disregard for your privacy.

This is NOT normal. It's deeply weird. But it's becoming unavoidable.

For the longest time I used LibreOffice on Linux and Microsoft Office on Windows, but now I have dumped Microsoft Office for LibreOffice on Windows too.

My blog post explains why, but basically: fuck Microsoft and their shoving of Copilot down our throats. (I also rant about the current AI hype cycle, in case you're interested.)

To write is to think. Using ChatGPT to write leads to..."cognitive debt", which might be one of the better euphemism for somewhat less polite words.

How's that AI coding going for you? Ah... I see.

Wired: McDonald’s AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants' Data to Hackers Using the Password ‘123456’

"... Carroll and Curry, hackers with a long track record of independent security testing, discovered that simple web-based vulnerabilities—including guessing one laughably weak password—allowed them to access a Paradox.ai account and query the company's databases that held every McHire user's chats with Olivia. The data appears to include as many as 64 million records, including applicants' names, email addresses, and phone numbers...."

[If] Big Tech to turn off all of your country's chatbots tomorrow, nothing would change. Every one of your country's ministries and corporations would chug on with nary a hitch. Households, too, though perhaps a few of the younger members of those families would have to do their own homework again.

[If] tech giants to switch off your country's Office 365 access, or to brick your Android and iOS phones, or to killswitch your John Deere tractors. Your country would effectively cease to exist.

So this is how the industry is trying to prevent the #AI bubble from popping: they want to use taxpayer money to replace VC funds. They will attempt to graft AI into as many government workflows as possible, essentially forcing taxpayers to enrich industry players, and turning government services into slop-filled garbage.

Predictive #AI can only do predictable things. And predictable things are uninteresting. The world is about to be flooded with uninteresting, predictable content and software.

This is a huge opportunity because humans are going to be starved for authenticity, for craft, for novelty, for creativity, for unpredictability. And only you, fellow human, are capable of creating interesting stuff.

Be unpredictable.

OpenClaw founder Steinberger joins OpenAI, open-source bot becomes foundation

From https://www.reuters.com/business/openclaw-founder-steinberger-joins-openai-open-source-bot-becomes-foundation-2026-02-15/

Everything I've read about OpenClaw suggests it's the NFT of AI. These folks need the fiction that AI is approaching "consciousness", or at least "agency", to continue.

I consider the scenario where one vehicle tells another one where to get food, and run a #thoughtExperiment with crow tool use. I find programs want to alternate autonomous action with human-in-the-loop interpretive collaboration.

Good news: I’m writing another book!

Data centers have been a big part of the discourse over the past few years. I’ll be digging into why there are so many being built right now and the broader impacts they’re having. But also: do we really need this much compute?
