Well @theonion.com 's new Voting Simulator video game might just be GOTY. Some Stanley Parable vibes but more importantly it's highly instructional on how to save our failing democracy. Everyone should play it. Seems like I barely scratched the surface! #Vote

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Today's little doodle. #CatArt
Panel one is a giant kitty wreaking havoc on a city with smashed and burning buildings. Panel two is an exasperated looking news caster cat behind the news desk. A news ticker reads "experts weigh in: monster just a baby" and the caption is "this just in, we're receiving reports that .. really? Sigh. We're receiving reports that the damage is... Catastrophic"

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.

> “Hallucination,” then, is not a bug awaiting a patch but a symptomatic expression of this structural condition. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
Human communication involves not only internal
coherence but also reference to shared reality, and
communicated words, thus, carry extensions, relations to
the actual nature of things in the world, which calculated
words do not (Bunz, 2026). Two terms may share the
adjacent intension in a high-dimensional vector space while
differing radically in extension, a phenomenon impossible in
communicated language, but routine in calculation. The result
is writing that is relevant without being reliable; contextually
proximate, but not anchored to the things those words
ostensibly name. “Hallucination,” then, is not a bug awaiting
a patch but a symptomatic expression of this structural
condition. When users treat LLM outputs as communications
of “meaning” rather than calculations of form, they engage in
“human hallucination”, anthropomorphizing generated writing
by conceptualizing it in the image of human expression
(Bunz, 2026), producing a systematic over-attribution of
understanding to systems where none exists. Training critical
thinkers to recognize the mode of production underlying a
text, rather than reasoning solely from its surface fluency, thus
becomes a pedagogical obligation.
Of note, this argument does not claim that LLMs are
useless.‡

The first crudely done sketch is of an old-timey looking boxy robot zapping a skeleton with flames or energy beams. The robot is saying Exterminate! the skeleton is saying Ow. The caption says How we thought killer AI would turn out. The second panel is of a laptop that says ChatGPT and the line "kill yourself". there is a man shrugging saying "if you say so!" the caption is How it turned out to be
