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.

Ah yes, because nothing screams "cultural preservation" like a website that can't function without JavaScript and cookies. 🤦‍♂️ Apparently, the real disaster here is trying to read the article. 🍪🚫

🤦‍♂️ Ah, yes, because what 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. 📉💀

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 . Spoiler: It's just another tool for artists to freak out about while AI continues to munch on their precious creations. 🤯💼

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.
