Historically, the world's richest people accumulated wealth by selling commodities everyone used or building clever financial products. Elon Musk has done neither. He doesn't actually have a mass-market product—he has a psychological hack that turns institutional greed into pure, unadulterated gold.
Researchers are now warning that Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) will arrive by 2027, but in the same breath, they admit it might not be entirely reliable. So which is it? A god-like digital brain, or just another pile of LLMs hallucinating at the speed of light? I have a different theory: the AI isn't a superbrain, human IQ is just in freefall.
The AGI Illusion: Why We Are Chasing Ghosts, Burning Coal, and Enriching Nvidia for Marginal Tweaks. And the best part? AGI is already here, and no one realizes it.
Spielberg’s Disclosure Day sets up a brilliant theological premise but completely drops the ball on the actual alien encounter. If a species survives its own 'Great Filter' of greed and populism, they aren't coming across the galaxy to give us magical gifts. They know we have to earn our survival.
Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos spent years building the algorithms and platforms that shaped the political landscape of the 2024 election. Now, a new book reveals they spent the aftermath desperately kissing Donald Trump's ring—only to have him mock them behind their backs. I have zero sympathy.
Germany nailed the bottle deposit system in the early 2000s with blazing-fast barcode scanners. Almost 25 years later, Malta introduces its BCRS machines. They feel like a high school Linux project, fail half the time, and I'm convinced the terrible recognition rate is a highly profitable feature, not a bug.
The cybersecurity world is panicking over 'DarkReplica,' a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Redis. But there is a catch: it is a post-authentication bug. We build massive digital fortresses on the outside, but leave the inside protected by a beaded curtain.
Imagine if the software industry was regulated like the aviation industry. If we applied the strict SQDCP5S manufacturing standards to code, Silicon Valley would panic, and Generative AI would be banned from production environments overnight.
Every week, the tech media publishes another panic piece about the desperate need for COBOL and Mainframe developers. It is a fabricated narrative. The reality is a wall of HR bureaucracy, geographical gatekeeping, and companies that don't actually want to hire the engineers they claim to need.
Why pay a corporate subscription for a slow, Java-based terminal? DX3270 version 1.7.0 just dropped. It now supports both TN3270 and TN5250 in one sleek, native macOS app that is so small it could literally fit on a floppy disk.
I posted my native macOS TN3270 emulator to Reddit, expecting the usual tech-bro toxicity. Instead, I found a deeply supportive community—and learned a valuable lesson about naming open-source projects.
The LinkedIn feedback for X3270 has been absolutely unreal. To celebrate, I've spent the last week shipping a massive wave of updates: Multi-model screens, 14-bit addressing, IBM 3279 colors, and pixel-perfect exports.
Samsung just announced 'record bonuses' to avert a massive strike, yet the atmosphere among employees is incredibly dark. It reminds me exactly of the acquisition of Ixaris by NIUM: when HR starts talking about 'performance metrics,' it's usually time to write your resignation.
When 15 years of deep, architectural Java experience is dismissed because your resume doesn't perfectly match a recruiter's framework checklist, you know the tech hiring industry is fundamentally broken. A dive into the bizarre reality of modern recruitment, where companies have stopped searching for engineers and started hunting for framework-monkeys.
Meta just pivoted from an $80B Metaverse failure to an AI frenzy. But beneath the hype lies a harsh reality: LLMs were trained on a global pile of abandoned pet projects, and the enterprise is about to pay the ultimate price.
A data leak at Trump Mobile reveals its true, tiny order numbers. A perfect symbol for modern right-wing populism: A massive megaphone, but hardly anyone in the room.
If you thought intelligence operations from spy movies were pure fiction, think again. A Russian ship loaded with nuclear reactor parts gets blown up in the Mediterranean, and the world barely blinks.
Introducing X3270, a native, bare-metal macOS terminal emulator for IBM Mainframes. No Java, no X11, no recurring fees. Just pure C++ and Objective-C++.
Another day in paradise, another masterclass in selective law enforcement. Today, we look at the curious case of the QZ-plated UT10s running guided tours right under the nose of the police.
Modern tech companies have stopped solving problems. Instead, we hire for useless algorithmic puzzles and reward the gamification of management metrics. Here is why the industry is losing its mind.
Just when you think you've seen the peak of grifting in Malta, a German death benefit insurance company shows up to prove that corporate bureaucracy is the ultimate scam.
When childhood fantasies of pirate havens and sci-fi smuggler dens collide with the hyper-capitalistic reality of living in the Mediterranean.
An update on returning to the blog, retiring old projects, diving deeper into C++, and a personal tragedy that changes everything.
Why there will be no such thing like AGI. An Ohmovore still not exist yet!
Announcing the ambitious roadmap for uα Version 27 'Amazing Grace'—a self-hosting compiler written entirely in its own assembly language, marking the transition from alpha to beta in 2027.
