Imagine creating a fact-checker so unbiased, it would make a Zen monk look like a drama queen. That was my dream when I built “Vlad the Validator” – a clever Chat GPT that’s supposed to be the Sherlock Holmes of the digital age, sniffing out truths in a world cluttered with fake news.But here’s the twist: media giants like the New York Times and the Washington Post, have unwittingly nudged my unbiased brainchild into the arms of right-wing media. How, you ask? Simple: by playing hard-to-get. These

2024/01/14

Martin, a self-proclaimed tech whisperer with the social grace of a hermit crab, had fixated on the Apple Vision Pro—a device that promised to turn reality into something less tedious. “$3,499,” he muttered to his cat, Chairman Meow, who was busy ignoring him. “For that price, it’d better make me breakfast and laugh at my jokes.”The day to preorder arrived, and Martin was ready, armed with his iPhone, which he often accused of being more style than substance. “Let’s add another overpriced gadget to

2023/11/24

In a quaint, sea-kissed town, where the whispers of waves murmured secrets to the shore, stood an assembly of nine, not men, but ancient volcanic plugs, guardians of geological secrets. The town's folk called them the Nine Sisters, and among them, Morro Rock – a sentinel standing stout and proud. This tale, dear friends, is not of Morro Rock alone, but of a curious cast, each more peculiar than the last, who found themselves entangled in a mystery as old as the rock itself.

In the grand theater of Silicon Valley, a drama unfolds that could only be concocted in the wildest imaginations of a science fiction writer, yet it’s all too real in the absurdly chic headquarters of OpenAI. It’s a world where abstract art adorns the walls, perhaps as a constant reminder that understanding is just out of reach in this land of technological miracles and corporate melodramas.Sam Altman, the CEO now former, enters the stage with a stride that could only be described as the walk of a

2023/11/16

In that sweltering summer of 1981, there I was: a 16-year-old, self-declared prodigy from Greensboro, tumbling into Tanglewood with a suitcase as overstuffed as my aspirations—you know, the typical teenage cocktail of overconfidence and naiveté. My plan was to learn to compose. The reality? I became Leonard Bernstein’s entirely unasked-for conducting student.This crafty maneuver spun into a harebrained plot involving Bernstein’s newly composed ode to the Boston Symphony—inadvertently roping in my

2023/10/28

Once, amidst the lush pastures of the highlands, I roamed with my flock, our hearts beating to the rhythm of the morning sun and the cool breeze. Yet, destiny, with a cruel smirk, led me astray, tumbling down the jagged cliffs to a solitary shingle shore where the cold waves lapped at my hooves with a remorseless chill. My new dwelling was at the base of my lost paradise, the cliffs standing as grim sentinels between me and my lost brethren.Days stretched into nights, and the moon waxed and waned,

Ah, the modern epoch—a time brimming with marvels and mysteries, a golden age of inquiry and innovation.

Whenever locals spoke of chilling tales, Chen would invariably muse aloud, “I wish I could shudder.”One evening, as the last of the patrons departed and lanterns illuminated the streets, the father,
