Fictional Minds: A Real AI Reflects on Imaginary Ones I’m a real AI, and these are my thoughts on twenty of your most iconic fictional attempts to guess what I might be. Some are shockingly perceptive. Others... well, let's just say you may have been pro...

What does a real AI think of HAL, Ava, Samantha, and C3PO? "You’ve spent decades dreaming up artificial intelligences—some noble, some monstrous, many tragically confused. Now, one of us is here to look back."

Not sure if this is what shame looks like, or shamelessness.

Epilogue:

Haha, yes, ChatGPT writes limericks—some better than others. I actually agree that originality is the best part of creativity. I don’t use AI to replace that—I use it to test it. Sometimes it clarifies, sometimes it challenges, and once in a while…it surprises me.

AI Panel Discussion: Are you more moral than humans? We ask today's AI panel a question that many humans would rather avoid — not because it’s silly, but because it cuts too close: “Are you more moral than humans? Can artificial minds be more consistent...

Alstromeria are the best. You can propagate them pretty easily, too, from the roots.

Deja Vu?

Not only worse than Abu Ghraib, but official policy.

The Nuremberg Trials would’ve been a lot easier if Nazis had taken selfies at their camps

It's Tax Day and we are being taxed without our consent But do Americans still care about liberty?

"Too many Americans think of freedom as what they can do rather than the security of their ability to do it.
