AI Is Stealing Humanity's Sense of Self

AI is erasing the messy, irreplaceable things that made humans human. Pushing it now is like selling the house while the roof is burning. Calling algorithms progress ignores the cultural theft underway. Convenience is not a substitute for meaning.

Ethical Consumerism Is a Comforting Mirage

Ethical consumerism is a comforting mirage. A nicer label at checkout feels like progress but it does nothing to stop the machine that turns meals, work and love into products. This is a structural problem, not something you fix with a different shopping list.

AI Skepticism: From Toy to Dangerous Tool

AI started as clever text mimicry and is now a reliability disaster. Flashy word generation turned into broken reasoning and unsafe hallucinations. It is making developers lazy and wrecking real engineering by outsourcing judgment.

Tech Bubbles Burn Pioneers, Predictions Fail

Breakthrough tech always blows up into a bubble that eats early adopters. Pioneers get roasted. Predictions miss more than they hit. AI grift is theater for people who missed the pattern. Real talk about a fast changing world gets drowned out by scammers and noise.

Tools Don't Create Experts, Operators Do

Hallucination or leverage is decided by the operator, not the model. Excel never made everyone a finance expert. Photoshop never made everyone a designer. Same prompt, two users. One ships nonsense. The other ships results because domain knowledge catches errors. Value lives with the driver, not the software.

Data Centers, Not AI, Are the Bubble

This hundred-billion-dollar frenzy around data centers and GPUs is the bubble, not AI or LLMs. In five years phones will run local LLMs that handle 95% of everyday tasks at native speed. Trillions poured into centralized GPU farms will look stupid. AGI is not coming from pouring more GPUs into a word-guessing machine.

Openai Has No User Lock-in Advantage

ChatGPT is replaceable. A billion users are not glued to it. OpenAI lacks the hardware and social lock-in iPhone, Google and Instagram enjoy. Its user numbers are fragile and easy to poach.

AI Is Winning at Options, Not Decisions

AI floods workflows with choices and noise, stalling real work. It spits out drafts, not decisions. Conviction and decisiveness live with humans. That disconnect is why teams freeze.

Altman Is Wrong About Google's Search Reinvention

Altman is flat wrong to dismiss bolting AI onto Google Search as futile. Rewriting search from scratch is theater. Google’s distribution, data and live signals turn AI into a real, decisive edge. Users and scale pick winners, not lab experiments.

AI Kills Thinking and Steals Art

AI hands back instant answers so there is nothing to learn. It gets things wrong, corrodes critical thinking and kills research habits. People stop checking anything. It rips off artists and burns the planet with massive compute. Being left behind is preferable to trading thought and craft for convenience.

Gemini 3.0 Can Replace Designers

Gemini 3.0 is already good enough to design a complete mobile UI end-to-end. You can one-shot an entire app interface with it.

Google Stole The Internet

To catch up in AI, Google: 1. Scraped the web and YouTube without permission. 2. Forced AI Overviews into search, cutting out publishers. 3. Creators couldn't opt-out or get paid. 4. Google locked rivals out and developers too.

ChatGPT Is Just Bad Google

ChatGPT doesn’t “think” - it just copies a Google search and delivers a sloppy summary. The model isn’t intelligent because it’s autocomplete.

AI Only Repackages Existing Knowledge

AI isn’t creating anything new. It’s just regurgitating info we already had. The supposed “insight” is really just slop of the open internet.

AI Can’t Be Used for Real Work

AI breaks the moment the task requires precision, accountability, or domain expertise. It can draft, guess, and gesture - but not deliver. The gap between “helpful demo” and “reliable tool” is still too wide, which makes AI unusable for work. The Tech Bros are wrong again!

Most AI Output Is Inaccurate

A significant portion of AI-generated answers are wrong, misleading, or confidently fabricated. It hallucinates for god's sake.

AI Adds No Real Value

Despite all the hype, AI hasn’t improved human life. Most of what we call “AI progress” is just faster access to information - not genuine value creation.

Spotify is Better Than Apple Music

Apple Music has a better app, better sound quality, better ecosystem integration, even pays artists more. But Spotify has a better recommendation algorithm.

Cutting the NBA Season Won’t Reduce Injuries

Real reasons NBA injuries keep rising: 1. We created a generation of single-sport specialists. No baseball, no football, no track - just AAU mileage from age 8 onward. 2. Teams don’t practice, so players overtrain the wrong way. Hours of skill drills, zero live scrimmage. Then they’re asked to go from 0 → 100 only during games. 3. The shoe revolution backfired. Low-tops freed the ankle but shifted the load up the chain - Achilles, calves, hamstrings.
