Thoughts about BRICS+, China, and Europe—and the US
I'm by no means an analyst of any kind, but I happen to have had a few thoughts, and I decided to put them down. They're not phrased that well,…
Bibi + Donald + Iran = 💣
I initially wanted to update my previous short post, Israel is the land of love, either at its end, or through comments, but I decided to behave more traditionally and…
Copilot, Mistral, Gpt4All: more AI letdowns. Back to Claude?
I hesitated about writing this post, as I tend to pay too much attention to those bloody chatbots. But even so, there are many “improvements” in them that I miss,…
Israel is the land of love
Two terrorist countries, Iran and Israel, are playing the “your mother is a whore” game (مادر جنده). Iran doesn't recognize Israel's right to existence, and Israel doesn't recognize Iran's right…
Grim book 1 — a review like no other!
Following my previous post “The Tate brothers equivalent for the intellectual type: Grim,” I’ve received a complimentary evaluation copy of the book “Grim Begins: The Hero’s Journey of a Russian…
I asked AI how to fix America’s “undocumented” millions
Triggered by the current events in LA, but not mentioning anything about Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, I asked a couple of chatbots if they see a logical solution…
Un nou geniu al Carpaților: moi-même
Printre multele prostii pe care le postez pe Facebook (link-uri cu minime comentarii, frivolități) se mai strecoară și opinii de mai mare întindere, iar aici preiau două astfel de postări.…
The zombified Claude Explains, and more Anthropic shit
When Claude Explains, then it doesn't anymore! I’m not sure when was it that Anthropic launched its Claude Explains sort of blog, but between June 3 and 5 every single…
Trying to understand the stupid Chinese AI censorship
Western-made AI agents generally censor stuff based on a set of rules regarding “public safety” (violence, drugs, pornography, terrorism, nuclear weapons, etc.) or copyright (ChatGPT refused to draw Winnie-the-Pooh for…
Cât de inutil poate fi AI
Sorry for posting this in Romanian, but it should be machine-translatable quite well. OK, să zicem că aud o melodie la radio, iar Shazam o identifică astfel (SoundHound nu găsește…
Meet the retarded prophet of the AI Apocalypse
I’ve been made aware of AI 2027, a completely useless intellectual masturbation by Daniel Kokotajlo, Scott Alexander, Thomas Larsen, Eli Lifland, and Romeo Dean. Unfortunately, such a huge pile of…
Student, dar nu absolvent? Să înțelegem CV-ul lui Nicușor
Am aflat dintr-o dată că există o isterie cu privire la studiile lui Nicușor Dan, și în contextul în care oligofrenii din presa românească îi tot dau cu Sorbona în…
Claude’s dirty secrets and… Grok would kill for money!
A couple of days ago, in Ars Technica: Hidden AI instructions reveal how Anthropic controls Claude 4. This is about the independent AI researcher Simon Willison having published a detailed…
Curtea Constituțională a legalizat corupția în România
Nu poate omul să se bucure de o zi din viața sa fără să vină o adunătură de căcați cu ochi care să încerce încă o dată să arunce în…
🤩 Claude can now search the Web for everybody!
This is an unannounced feature. I just discovered by accident that “Web search” can now be enabled in both the browser and the app, and it works! When Claude 4…
The Tate brothers equivalent for the intellectual type: Grim
A blog was originally meant to work as an online journal; social networks didn’t exist when the “weblogs” were invented. Well, let’s make this post exactly this: a report about…
The questionable industry of online AI training gig jobs
Let me start by abruptly inserting the text that I fed some chatbots with. It goes as follows: Years ago, various online jobs that didn't require much expertise bar a…
It’s not the liberal order that we’re losing, and the decline didn’t start with Trump
By pure chance, I ran over some older contributions to Foreign Affairs by Graham Allison, Professor of Government at the Harvard Kennedy School. I'll just paste here some excerpts, without…
Vibe coding just got cheaper
I hate vibe coding, but how I feel is irrelevant. The world is a broken hamster wheel, and it spins faster and faster. After OpenAI's Codex, there’s a new “bug…
The Three Shitheads (and us)
We, Europeans, are cocksuckers. We sucked Putin’s dick (and we still do, as the EU still imports some gas from Russia). We suck Netanyahu’s dick, because criticizing Israel is seen…
