• 2025 Is a Triangular Number: Tim Apple May Have No Way Out

    Updated: 2025-05-30 17:23:10
    Just a dinobaby and no AI: How horrible an approach? Macworld in my mind is associated with happy Macs, not sad Macs. I just read “Tim Cook’s Year Is Doomed and It’s Not Even June Yet.” That’s definitely a sad Mac headline and suggests that Tim Apple will morph into a well-compensated human in a […]

  • AI Can Do Your Knowledge Work But You Will Not Lose Your Job. Never!

    Updated: 2025-05-30 09:37:00
    The dinobaby wrote this without smart software. How stupid is that? Ravical is going to preserve jobs for knowledge workers. Nevertheless, the company’s AI may complete 80% of the work in these types of organizations. No bean counter on earth would figure out that reducing humanoid workers would cut costs, eliminate the useless vacation scam, […]

    Updated: 2025-05-30 09:07:00
    Censorship is having a moment. And not just in the US. For example, India’s The Wire laments, “Academic Censorship Has Become the Norm in Indian Universities.” Writer Apoorvanand, who teaches at Dheli University, describes his experience when a seminar he was to speak at was “postponed.” See the article for the details, like the importance […]

  • It Takes a Village Idiot to Run an AI Outfit

    Updated: 2025-05-29 09:53:00
    The dinobaby wrote this without smart software. How stupid is that? I liked the the write up “The Era Of The Business Idiot.” I am not sure the term “idiot” is 100 percent accurate. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word “idiot” is a variant of the phrase “the village idget.” Good enough for […]

  • A Grok Crock: That Dog Ate My Homework

    Updated: 2025-05-29 09:37:00
    Just the dinobaby operating without Copilot or its ilk. I think I have heard Grok (a unit of XAI I think) explain that outputs have been the result of a dog eating the code or whatever. I want to document these Grok Crocks. Perhaps I will put them in a Grok Pot and produce a […]

  • Telegram and xAI: Deal? What Deal?

    Updated: 2025-05-29 09:29:26
    Just a dinobaby and no AI: How horrible an approach? What happens when two people with a penchant for spawning babies seem to sort of, mostly, well, generally want a deal? On May 28, 2025, one of the super humans suggested a deal existed between the Telegram company and the xAI outfit. Money and equity […]

NPR reveals, “Nearly 300 Scientists Apply for French Academic Program Amid Trump Cuts in U.S.” Reporter Alana Wise tells us: “A French university courting U.S.-based academics said it has already received nearly 300 […]

  • xAI and Telegram: What Will the Durovs Do? The Clock Is Ticking

    Updated: 2025-05-28 17:59:00
    Just a dinobaby and no AI: How horrible an approach? One of my colleagues called my attention to the  Coindesk online service’s article “Telegram Signs $300M Deal with Elon Musk’s xAI to Integrate Grok into Its Messaging App, TON up 16%.” The subtitle is interesting: Telegram Will Also Received 50% of Revenue from xAI Subscriptions […]

  • Traditional Publishers Hallucinate More Than AI Systems

    Updated: 2025-05-28 09:53:00
    Just the dinobaby operating without Copilot or its ilk. I sincerely hope that the information presented in “Major Papers Publish AI-Hallucinated Summer Reading List Of Nonexistent Books.” The components of this “real” news story are: A big time newspaper syndicator A “real” journalist / writer allegedly named Marco Buscaglia Smart software bubbling with the type […]
