The AI revolution is not here
I frequently get reminders of just how old I’ve become (at this remarkably young age of 62), and nothing sends that message faster than all the bullshit marketing hoopla surrounding Artificial Intelligence.
Totalitarian Tech
George Orwell got it slightly wrong. Big Brother is not a totalitarian political dictator, he’s the tech nerd trying to “make your life better.”
We know Facebook and Google make their money selling data about us. There’s billions in knowing who you are, who you know, what you do and where you go.

What’s the matter with Kelowna?
I have never heard of Kelowna British Columbia (Canada). I don’t even know how to pronounce it — does it rhyme with Aloha? But last week I started to worry about Kelowna.
Or at least one person in it.

Crypto annoying
As an ancient (former) “marketer,” I must admit I’ve long been baffled by what “influencers” do. After my latest “encounter” with one, I’m still baffled, and now I’m a little bit pissed.

This religious zest for drug purity in sports is bullshit at it’s best.

Shoe Contracts
Every time I find a tennis shoe I like – brand, make, model, year, color, 10 seconds after I walk out of the store, they change all the fucking models

Phallic singing
Not too long ago, I told the story of how I learned that the side of earth Amazon box is covered with a penis.
Apparently, I was the last to know.

Human extinction — let me count the ways
Since I was a child hiding under my desk at school “practicing for World War III,” I’ve known the “end is near.” It didn’t start with me. We have all “known it” for a long time.

AI photos versus Google
To give the poor souls some rest from my bullshit words, I have grudgingly added pictures to these rants for the past 4 years.
It’s not going well.

Dick moves of the Musk
I’ve been hearing how smart artificial intelligence and machine learning “is” since 2008. It seems to be on everybody’s lips 15 years later with chats and pictures coming from a machine that are as good or better than people.
I still wince at the claims.

Bloody Anti-inflammatory
I can usually have a good night if I can just get my drugs right. It’s not as easy as it sounds.

Disposable horsepower
Hello Fresh delivered them. Mutant carrots. So long, thick and hard, they would be too big even for the hardest of hard core porn movies.
