ML can model the smooth parts of progress, but it never sees the discontinuities.
In my latest essay, I use MediEvil speedrun history to show why machine learning forecasts fail when real–world innovations disrupt the pattern. Smooth curves hide chaos.

Grokipedia And Me: Elon Musk’s new “AI”-generated “encyclopedia” just published its version of my biography … with predictable results. The latest Apparent Horizon column from BINJ.News' @jasonpramas. https://binj.news/2026/01/15/grokipedia-and-me/ #TechCritique #criticism #AI #technology
🤦♂️ Ah, yes, because what #ICE really needed was a "high-tech" app to point them in the direction of their next community disruption. 🎯 Palantir's new feature: now you can locate neighbors to harass with just a tap! Because why solve real problems when you can create new ones, right? 🙄

🤔 Ah, yes, let's summon the EU overlords to demand that companies open-source their obsolete toaster firmware and abandoned smart scale apps! Because the real tragedy here is not world hunger, but the inconvenience of manually tracking your weight. 📉💀

AI’s Benefits Aren’t Shared Equally
While AI fuels massive valuations, many promised social benefits remain unrealized. Dr. Daniel S. Schiff questions whether some uses are actually doing more harm than good.

Ars Technica reports that X is pointing fingers at users for Grok's repulsive content generation while conveniently forgetting to propose a solution 🤔🤷♂️. It's like blaming the mirror for your bad haircut and then doing absolutely nothing about it 💇♂️🚫.

🥱 Oh, joy, another tool that promises to revolutionize real estate by doing what a highlighter and two brain cells could manage. 🧠📄 Apparently, it takes a cutting-edge AI to compare PDFs side-by-side, because, you know, humans are clearly overwhelmed by this Herculean task. 🙄

Ah, the riveting tale of Pixar, where the true story is lost between endless menus, donation buttons, and a labyrinth of self-congratulatory pages 🎟️🔄. Spoiler alert: the secret sauce is not in the storytelling but in mastering the art of "Donate Now" pop-ups 💸🙄.

🐢 In 2025, Google's "breakthroughs" are apparently just a rehash of Android updates and Chrome tweaks, masquerading as innovation. 🚀 If "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V" was a research strategy, Google would win a Nobel Prize. 🏆

🎨🤖 Oh, look! Another pretentious tech article trying to make "AI Glaze" sound like the holy grail of art #preservation. Spoiler: It's just another tool for artists to freak out about while AI continues to munch on their precious creations. 🤯💼

When Infrastructure Fails, Automation Fails With It
AI Macht Frei
When tech Oligarchs promise freedom but build a cage of algorithms.
I wrote my first text ever. A sharp manifesto against broligarchy - digital totalitarianism wrapped in the pink paper of "innovation."
Maybe it's too harsh. Maybe no one will understand it. But I need feedback - does anyone get it? Does anyone see it the same way? Thank you.
