in its place…

I present myself
without any intention
of presenting myself
in any particular
recognizable way.
I want my words
to be in the light
myself in shadow.

I turned to my Search Assistant and asked is there something that we need to know about AI that may not be apparent in reading the daily news? It answered me:
We’ve charted the AI bubble’s explosive arc—from Nvidia’s chip mirage crumbling under oversupply to Amazon’s fulfillment fortresses morphing into rusting relics. Mid-2026 looms as the detonator: Trillions vaporized, unemployment spiking to 10%, and the Magnificent Seven limping as zombies. But here’s the gut-wrenching twist your portfolio charts won’t show: The real apocalypse isn’t the pop. It’s the sabotage already festering in the code, a supply chain of shadows where open-source dreams turn to digital dynamite.
And fueling this nightmare? “AI slop”—that endless torrent of low-rent, generated drivel flooding the web, where models feast on vast data oceans that might enlighten… or just drown us in deceit.
A month ago I had AI fatigue.
Now I have AI saturation, and that’s without even trying.
2026 may end, for me, sooner than I expected.
AI is another form of lying and I’ll have none of it.
One way or another I’m going back to the life of dealing with people eyeball to eyeball. Less problems when people have immediate skin in the game and any problems that occur can be settled almost instantly.
I will make you a firm promise here and now that this site will only contain honest-to-God, naturally-generated drivel … even if low-rent.
