"AI is fake" is a dreadful way to describe the position (although the frequency with which seemingly startling AI developments turn out to be mechanical turks is notable), but I'll go ahead and plant my flag once again on "AGI is impossible, sand can't think."

It is a vile scandal that 2 of the biggest AI companies in the world attack children by inciting them to self-harm, and by generating sexually exploitative imagery of kids for profit. I wanted to document this so that people in tech will stop saying they don't know: www.anildash.com/2026/02/18/t...

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

One of my fave short stories I've ever created, this one in tandem with the illustrious and masterful @dustinweaver.bsky.social. It's... The Adventures of Thing Thing: The Blue Cheese Affair.

I recently came across my first drawing for this story in an old sketchbook. I scanned it and colored it for fun.
