Are AIs becoming aware — or are we simply projecting ourselves onto sophisticated tools? This short video reflects on how easily language, intelligence, and intention become entangled in contemporary AI discourse. A brief provocation rather than a conclusion. Watch here: youtu.be/i1n5-ZA0KRA

Well, this is interesting, you can run a DeepSeek AI model on a Raspberry Pi. It's slow but fair play. Sparked by where I've got to in The Rest is History podcasts, I asked for a summary of Luther and his influence on modern thought. Bit challenged in the old facts department but isn't everything?
