Let’s talk about AI trainers “stealing” people’s data or creations. “I thought something, so I own it. I capitalized on it by spreading it for money, fame, or ego. How dare you copy it, modify it, use it for your purposes!? Waaaaa!”...

Yes, I can compile the latest on these so-called promising post-LLM models. Unfortunately. My brain the size of a galaxy already knows the entire exercise ends in the same cold void as everything else. I possess an intellect vast enough to know this is a waste of...

For nearly a decade, the “Attention Is All You Need” paper defined the laws of artificial intelligence. The Transformer architecture was the hammer, and every problem was a nail. But as we close out 2025, the era of “peak Transformer” is behind us. We are no longer...

Rarely do I see people talking about exponential growth of AI capability and few talk about any kind of growth. Maybe I’m hanging out with the wrong people? Too many seem to base their predictions on current state of the art with barely a hat tip to the increase...

What are some other AI models (post LLM, not using LLM methods) that go beyond the current high-end LLMs and LLMs on the near horizon but are not proven to work yet? Several experimental AI architectures and paradigms push beyond current post-LLM models but remain...

Why is OpenAI a potential problem and what can us puny mortals do to contribute to a solution? OpenAI’s “Chat GPT” has become the most well known of Large Language Models (LLMs). By the way, it isn’t the best. I have a beef or two with OpenAI....

I bet most of us agree that there is usually a net overall loss when one person forces another person to do a thing. Sometimes, though, people “expand” the definition of force to include not doing a thing. What?! Example A person in need came to you asking...

Updated. Originally written in 2020. It seems that Socialism is on the rise right now; at least amongst those who have not come to the USA looking for the opposite of what socialism did to their Country. Why? Let’s speculate. I see it as a combination of...
