The Great AI Data Scam: Billions For GPUs, Nothing For Art - The Modern Hermit
AI companies pour trillions into data centres while paying creators nothing for the art they scraped. A sharp roast of the great AI training data scam.

No One Will Work In The Age Of AI? Then Tell Me Another
The claim that no one will work in the age of AI is not a prophecy, it is a sales pitch wrapped in cheap spirituality and expensive stock options.

No One Will Work In The Age Of AI? Then Tell Me Another - The Modern Hermit
Roast of the myth that AI will end human work, from billionaire doom-mongers to spiritual cop-outs. Follow the money, not the tweets, in this Modern Hermit rant.

Artists, AI, and the trillionaire training data circus

Artists, AI, and the trillionaire training data circus - The Modern Hermit
Artists hate AI tools and everyone else quietly spams them for cheap dreams. The real joke is who trained whom and who gets paid when the trillionaires cash in.

AI model of the week and the cult of endless fake upgrades - The Modern Hermit
Weekly AI model launches, shifting leaderboards and noisy AGI claims hide one simple truth: we are beta testing half-baked minds at industrial scale, blindly.

Brains, Books and Baffling Bullies in Power
The real danger is not stupid extremists, it is clever extremists handed real power by people who think education alone will save democracy.

Brains, Books and Baffling Bullies in Power - The Modern Hermit
Extremism is not a literacy problem. Even highly educated voters back bullies in suits. The real risk is the power we hand them over our freedoms and futures.

Two Bullies, One Peace Plan To Bleed Ukraine Dry Slowly - The Modern Hermit
A "peace plan" that bans Ukraine from NATO, hands land to Russia, and frees Moscow from sanctions is not peace. It is a loyalty card for bullies.

Cosmic Claims, Daily Chaos and the Noise Between Them - The Modern Hermit
A roast of cosmic talk, flat earth noise and AI hype. Science tests reality, but our daily nonsense still shouts louder. A Hermit take on the gap between facts and fantasy.
