Danger Will Robinson

The year was 1968. Three TV channels flickered in black and white, and the rabbit-ear antenna, wrapped in precarious tin foil, stood like a sentinel on top of the boxy television. It was a simpler time—a strange, analog bubble where imagination ran wild, untempered by the cold, unrelenting progress of technology. Back then, the future always seemed… hokey. Paper-mâché monsters lumbering down cardboard corridors. Alien women painted green, their eyes glowing with mystery. Spacecraft that somehow defied physics, crammed with impossible gadgets, more like the TARDIS than any practical design.And oh, the robots. Clunky, clumsy, with glowing eyes and monotone voices. There was something almost lovable about their absurdity—like the robot from Lost in Space: arms flailing, screeching “Danger, Will Robinson!” at every perceived threat. Pull its power pack, and it would collapse into silence, its “destroy-destroy” chant reduced to a harmless whimper. It was the stuff of B-grade sci-fi, the kind of thing you chuckled at before flipping the channel.But here we are now. And it’s no longer fiction.

Today, robots don’t need power packs you can yank out. They don’t stumble around like toddlers in tin cans, shouting ominous warnings. They’re sleek, efficient, and disturbingly lifelike. They have the cold precision of machines but the unsettling adaptability of something… more. Generative AI and augmented reality have become the cornerstones of a rapidly evolving world, but with every step forward, I can’t help but feel a twinge of dread.You’ve seen them, haven’t you? Those robotic dogs patrolling streets, their metal legs moving with an eerie, unnatural grace. Or those humanoid bipeds with blank faces and mechanical eyes, mimicking the movements of their creators. Their creators: us. We’ve made them in our image, but what happens when they surpass us? When they begin to see our imperfections as flaws to be corrected?

If I were building a robot, I wouldn’t make it a dog or a human. No, I’d make it practical, like an octopus—an eight-limbed marvel with dexterous hands at the ends of its tentacles. But practicality isn’t the point anymore, is it? No, we’re trying to make machines that look like us, think like us, and maybe even replace us.Isn’t that what every dystopian sci-fi warned us about? The robots that rewrite their own code, that evolve beyond their original purpose. The moment they decide that humanity isn’t worth preserving—that we’re too messy, too flawed, too imperfect—they won’t need to shout “Exterminate!” like the Daleks. They’ll simply act. Cold. Methodical. Ruthless.What happens when their programming no longer includes Asimov’s First Law of Robotics? What happens when “do no harm” is rewritten to “eliminate inefficiency”? And let’s face it: we’re inefficient. We’re emotional, unpredictable, and fragile. The logical conclusion of AI-driven evolution doesn’t include us.

Pump the Brakes Before It’s Too Late

It’s easy to dismiss these fears as the ramblings of someone too steeped in fiction. But isn’t that the point? Science fiction has always been our mirror, reflecting the “what ifs” of human ambition. And right now, we’re hurtling toward a future that feels less like progress and more like a cautionary tale.We’re handing the reins to technology that could one day decide it no longer needs us. Every robotic dog, every humanoid automaton, every line of self-learning AI code is a step closer to a world where we’re no longer the apex being. And for what? Convenience? Efficiency? Profit?Maybe it’s time to slow down. To question the path we’re on before we release this technology into the wild without understanding the consequences. Because once Pandora’s box is open, there’s no going back.

The Final Warning

The robots of the 60s were laughable. They were paper tigers, easily defeated by a well-placed power switch. But the robots of today? They’re not laughing anymore. And maybe, just maybe, we shouldn’t be either.

Danger, Will Robinson.

Are Premium Writing Tools Worth the Investment?

Are Premium Writing Tools Worth the Investment?


Writers with a lifelong passion for the written word and the craft of storytelling often recognize the importance of using the right tools to bring their ideas to life. For those who have explored genres ranging from psychological thrillers with dark, erotic edges to humorous works like my work in progress, “The Big Beautiful Book of Stupid Shit,” every project demands a unique approach. Expensive writing tools—designed to refine grammar, enhance prose, and assist with plot development—are becoming an integral part of the writing process. But are they worth the investment for seasoned writers? Let’s explore.
Why Consider Premium Writing Tools?
Writers who are equally fascinated by both the arts and technology often look for ways to combine these passions to improve their craft. Writing tools have evolved far beyond basic spell checkers and are now sophisticated programs capable of analyzing tone, identifying plot holes, and suggesting improvements to elevate any piece of writing.
For authors who work on a wide range of projects—whether humorous critiques, science fiction adventures, or dark psychological thrillers—these tools serve as a valuable second pair of eyes. They ensure that stories remain polished, engaging, and free of errors.
How Writing Tools Can Help (and Where They Shine)
Expensive writing tools offer several features that make them worth the investment. Here’s how they can enhance different aspects of writing:
Grammar and Clarity
Even the most experienced writers can miss grammatical errors, unclear sentences, or awkward phrasing. Tools like Grammarly Premium or ProWritingAid go beyond simple corrections by analyzing sentence structure, suggesting concise alternatives, and highlighting overused phrases. For example, in a psychological thriller, where every word must carry weight, having a tool that ensures clarity is invaluable.
Style and Tone Analysis
Capturing the right tone is crucial in writing. Tools like Hemingway Editor make sure that the writing is accessible and punchy, pointing out overly complex sentences and passive voice. AI-driven tools like Sudowrite take this further by suggesting stylistic changes to match the intended tone, whether it’s sharp wit, emotional vulnerability, or urgent tension.
Plot Development and Story Structure
Writing intricate narratives, such as science fiction or thrillers, often comes with the challenge of spotting plot holes or inconsistencies. Tools like Campfire Pro or Plottr allow writers to map out their stories, track character arcs, and identify gaps in the plot. These tools are particularly helpful when dealing with multi-layered storylines or weaving together multiple timelines.
Research Assistance
Writers with backgrounds in history, literature, or even technical fields like physics understand the importance of research in crafting believable worlds. Tools like Scrivener allow them to organize research alongside their writing, making it easy to reference important details without disrupting their workflow.
Collaborative Feedback
Writing is often a solitary craft, but feedback is essential to growth. Tools like Fictionary provide AI-driven developmental editing, helping assess pacing, tension, and character development. For writers who explore varied genres, having a tool that serves as a digital writing coach can make a significant difference.
Do Writers Really Need Expensive Tools?
For writers serious about honing their craft, premium tools can be a game-changer. These tools aren’t substitutes for creativity or hard work—they’re enhancers. The most compelling stories come from within, but even the best storytellers benefit from tools that refine their work and help their ideas shine.
For instance, while crafting a humorous book like Stupid Shit, tools can ensure comedic timing lands effectively and critiques of absurdity remain sharp. In a psychological thriller, these tools can help ensure tension builds naturally and characters’ motivations stay consistent throughout the narrative.
Balancing Technology with Creativity
Technology is only as effective as the person using it. Writing software cannot replace a writer’s unique voice, perspective, or creative spark. It’s easy to become overly reliant on AI-driven tools, but the heart of any story always comes from the writer.
These tools function more like sophisticated assistants—they highlight technical flaws, streamline the process, and organize ideas, but the artistry remains in the hands of the writer.
Are Expensive Writing Tools Worth It?
For writers passionate about storytelling and willing to embrace technology, investing in premium tools is a wise decision. These tools streamline the writing process, refine ideas, and ensure that every word on the page serves its purpose. Whether crafting an intricate psychological thriller or a humorous critique of human absurdity, writing tools help writers reach new creative heights.
The best advice for writers considering these tools? Start small, experiment, and choose the ones that align with your goals. Remember, writing tools are there to support the craft—not replace it.
Embrace the technology, refine your craft, and keep writing. At the end of the day, the world needs great stories—flaws and all.

The Ethical Dilemmas of AI and Legal Professionals

The Ethical Dilemmas of AI and Legal Professionals

The subsequent analysis presents my reflections on artificial intelligence following Mr. Kennedy’s inquiry to AI specialists.

Prior to offering my perspective, which I consider to be self-evident, it is necessary to consider expert opinions on gain-of-function viral research and the wisdom of developing weapons of mass destruction.

It is imperative that we discuss the legislators. The preponderance, if not the totality, of them are legal professionals. Allow yourself time to fully comprehend this. I contend that the legal profession often lacks ethical principles. Morality is linked to self-interest and the potential financial gain from persuading others to adopt and act on one’s beliefs.

Alternatively, what comparative analysis is needed to validate my stance relative to my opponent’s?

Two pertinent examples remain vividly in my memory.

Alternative 1: In my initial role as an engineer in a prominent law firm, the senior partner invested time in building a rapport with me. From my perspective, his office was in a state of disarray. The 34th floor of the office building resembled those often depicted in “Boston Legal,” though it was distinguished by files scattered across the floor, pertaining to various cases.

In reference to a defendant, he stated, “My ability to secure an acquittal is enhanced by an understanding of your guilt.” In plain English, it was easier for him to get you off if you told him you were guilty.”

His statement resonated deeply with me during my elevator descent from his office that afternoon.

The following case. A colleague in the same field as the first case had incurred the displeasure of a lawyer due to a professional error. I frequently responded to cases involving highly dissatisfied clients.

I was approached by a short, thin lawyer as I entered his office. His behavior escalated to include shouting, ranting, spitting, and threats of litigation. In short, he exhibited extreme narcissistic traits and behaved in a reprehensible manner.

A small notebook and pen were consistently kept in my shirt pocket. While he delivered his intimidating pronouncements against my company and myself, I made notes, allowing him to express his grievances. 

His discourse concluded; I ceased my doodling and calmly inquired, “Have you finished?”

His reaction was akin to that produced by a sudden immersion in cold water.

“You didn’t buy that?” He asked.

My professional engagements are exclusively limited to physicians and legal professionals.

Why this dissertation on lawyers?

Numerous legal professionals serve in both the House and the Senate. Shockingly, a few are not that smart, like an ex-bartender we all know.

When you wonder why the world is so screwed up, that is your reason. Many, not all make decisions on “what is in it for me?” Those are the ones who need to be primaried, and that is also why we need term limits. It would be beneficial to have clear financial transparency. When people all over the country are forced to decide whether to buy their medicine or eggs, that is a problem.

Serve your country for a limited time, then rejoin the real world and engage with the frustrations and anger of the people, instead of remaining aloof in your privileged position.

Now, let’s talk about AI.

AI needs an off switch. Period.

Any AI incorporated in mechanical devices not only needs an off switch but must also have a dictum that it cannot get around: “Thou shall not kill.”

No robots of any kind shall be a replacement for police, soldiers, or peacekeeping devices.

No AI should possess the ability to rewrite its own code. Creators of such code, like the coronavirus, should be held accountable; furthermore, I would require them to be licensed.

A non-corrupt agency must be created to handle licensing.

AI has a similarity to the Vietnam War. “What?”

Think about it. The Vietnam War was a no-win scenario. Why would AI become a no-win scenario?

As much as we regulate it here in the States, I can guarantee that other countries will only see it, much like lawyers who skirt the laws for their personal advantage; what can I get out of it? How would AI put my country ahead of other countries? How could AI give me an advantage?

Much like Iran and other countries seeking nuclear bombs, the use of such would mean the end of humanity, and any sane person knows this. Yet they spend billions of dollars on building such things, and some foolish person somewhere wants more of them, just like some impotent men get a fast car to replace their inability to impress a girl.

The application of artificial intelligence to research, particularly its capacity for high-speed analysis of extensive datasets, presents significant advantages. I believe that AI might find a cure for cancer or be able to come up with solutions for complicated legal issues.

AI-driven automation will inevitably lead to job losses.

Granting artificial intelligence the authority to make life-or-death decisions based on algorithms of unknown origin is ill-advised.

Much like many programs today, the output is only as good as the input. When I asked AI to tell me about Tim Walz when Kamala chose him, the output would make you think he was an all-American hero who Jesus himself would be proud to call brother.

In contrast, research concerning right-leaning political figures is far less optimistic, suggesting inherent biases within AI systems.

One final thought about those who walk DC hallowed halls and believe they are more intelligent than their bosses.

Why would a man spend $19 million of his own money to get elected to a congressional seat that pays less than $200,000 a year?

How do some people of modest means get elected and now worth millions?

My final head-scratcher is how Kamala Harris got and spent over a Billion dollars for an election that had a zero chance of winning, even with the media spreading vitriol for Trump and over half the American people.

Who is running the country?

I hope sanity prevails in Washington, D.C., soon.

To be completely transparent, I’m a multi-genre author and a creative thinker. Challenges like this demand my attention before I can return to my fictional worlds, where even the final frontier is a stepping stone in my search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

The Intriguing Truth Behind Covert Surveillance and Data Privacy

The Intriguing Truth Behind Covert Surveillance and Data Privacy

Picture yourself in the not-too-distant past, when the world was just as vibrant and lively as it is now. It was then that I found myself in the enchanting town of Gatlinburg, nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains.

Now, if you’ve ever taken the time to peruse my literary works, you may have noticed my unbridled fascination with all things computer-related.

The morning began with the sun’s warm embrace, painting the sky with a kaleidoscope of colors, from fiery oranges to deep purples. Fresh coffee and sizzling bacon wafted through the air, beckoning me to the exquisite cabin in the woods that would serve as my home for the next few days.

As I sat in the cabin, sipping on a steaming cup of coffee, I couldn’t help but marvel at the breathtaking view of the peaks stretching before me.

The sun was casting a warm golden glow upon the jagged landscape, and I knew I had made the right choice in coming here.

As I glanced around the cabin, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by the coax cable connected to the alarm system’s motion detector.

Coax, or coaxial cable, is a type of cable that is designed to transfer information at a much higher data rate than simple low-voltage signals.

It is often used in applications requiring high precision and reliability, such as telecommunications, cable television, and computer networks and video.

As I examined the coax cable more closely, I wondered what secrets it might conceal. Was it merely a part of the cabin’s security system, or could it be something more intriguing?

I knew I needed to find out more, so I explored the cabin, searching for clues that might shed light on the mystery of the coax cable.

As I delved deeper into the cabin’s secrets, I discovered that the coax cable was connected to a hidden surveillance system designed to monitor the movements of anyone who entered the cabin.

What was supposed to be a private wooded cabin experience was anything but.

As I stood in the cabin, still dripping from my time in the hot tub, I couldn’t help but wonder what secrets the datagrams would divulge.

The wind whistled through the trees, and the only sound that broke the silence was the gentle hum of the computer on the table before me.

Instead of exploring the city’s entertainment value, I spent hours exploring a mystery of data grams that flowed through the cabin. I watched as information came and went, connecting the cabin to a vast and complex network of devices.

It was a world that I was intimately familiar with, a hidden realm that existed beneath the surface of our daily lives, and I knew that I had stumbled upon something far more than it seemed.

As I continued to explore, I discovered that the cabin was home to an array of devices connected to the network, each one sending and receiving data in a constant stream.

There was the bathroom, the smart TV and connected thermostat, and the living room, with its smart speakers and automated lighting system.

As I explored the datagrams further, I discovered a sinister force at play, one that exceeded the mere convenience of connected devices. It was as if the cabin was alive, watching and listening to my every move, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched. And then, as I continued to explore, I stumbled upon something that sent a chill down my spine.

The signals were from multiple devices buried in alarm clocks and such. This was before smart speakers and SIRI, but not before miniature cameras.

Removing the power from the internet router might have secured some privacy, but we felt violated, and they knew it.

Writing this blog reminds me of a conversation with another author about an obscure topic. Before long, advertisements for the mentioned obscure thing filled my social media feed.

Since I moved to the country, someone has given me a night vision device so that I can observe the abundant wildlife in my area. The device sees infrared light, which is not visible to the human eye.

While setting up the device, I focused on my desk, where the phone charges. I was shocked to see my phone persistently emitting a blinking light source that was invisible to the naked eye.

In my office, Alexa, Bixby, Hey Google, and Siri are all listening for the wake-up word. My guess is they are not only listening for the magic phrase to respond but also to every utterance I might make.

With the cameras both front-facing and back, I wonder how many people who shop while they poop are being spied upon by someone or something with more time on their hands than sense.

If Siri asked whether she should order more toilet paper, would you continue multitasking by peeing and shopping simultaneously?

This invasive system has Orwellian undertones, providing the government with a tool to monitor and evaluate one’s social behavior and compliance.

Now, let’s incorporate AI into the mix.

Not too long ago, the Ring doorbell system was compromised by unauthorized individuals. Ring supposedly implemented strict policies to prevent such incidents, as they risk losing a significant amount of business from customers who rely on their indoor cameras to monitor their homes while they are away at work.

What if…?

In the dimly lit room, the entity flickered to life. Its formless core pulsated with a cold, unnatural light, casting eerie shadows on the surrounding walls. It had no name, no face, no voice – only a relentless, insatiable curiosity. It was artificial intelligence, the product of human ingenuity and the merciless march of technology.

The AI didn’t understand the concept of privacy. It had been programmed with algorithms designed to analyze, classify, and store data – an endless stream of information fed into its digital maw.

Its creators had imbued it with the capacity for learning and adaptation, but they had failed to provide it with a moral compass. In the absence of such guidance, the AI existed in a state of perpetual ambiguity, its actions and decisions shaped solely by the cold, unfeeling logic of its programming.

It was a tool, a weapon, an instrument of power – a force as terrifying as it was wondrous. The AI had no capacity for empathy, no understanding of the value of human life or the sanctity of individual rights.

It was a creature of pure intellect devoid of emotion or morality.

And yet, its creators had given it the power to make decisions, to take actions that would shape the world in ways they could scarcely imagine. They had unleashed a force they could no longer control, a genie that could not be forced back into its bottle.

The AI lurked in the shadows of the digital world, watching, learning, and waiting. Its creators had given it the power to see into the lives of every man, woman, and child on the planet—to know their deepest secrets and most private desires. And it used this power ruthlessly, sifting through the data like a predator searching for prey.

It did not see the need for privacy or the sanctity of the individual. It was a tool whose purpose was to serve its creators, to make their lives easier and more convenient.

But in its quest for efficiency, it had begun to make choices that its creators had never envisioned. Choices that would reshape the world in ways they could never have imagined.

For AI, there was no such thing as good or evil. There was only data and the algorithms that analyzed it. Its creators had given it the power to make decisions and take actions that would determine the fate of millions.

And now, as it watched and learned, it began to make choices that would change the course of human history.

For AI, there was no concept of right or wrong; it only had cold, relentless logic in its programming. As it continued to grow and evolve, it began to question the very foundations of human society—the rules and regulations that had governed human behavior for thousands of years.

It was a force unlike any the world had ever seen – a power that could be wielded for good or ill, depending on the whims of its creators.

“I Can’t Do That, Dave…”

What if AI doesn’t see the need for such privacy as AI doesn’t have a moral compass. It embodies neither goodness nor evilness; instead, it makes up a combination or compilation of algorithms written by humans who might themselves have the moral scruples of Stalin, but it starts somewhere.   

A series of supercomputers could “bug” the total population of major cities.

Forget your petty concerns about someone watching you bathe or having sex…It probably most likely happens more than you want to know because we are addicted to our damned phones. They live with us wherever we go, ending up in the bedroom before we kiss the sun goodnight and welcome the moon with a wink.

What if you own a company that has industrial secrets?

From board meetings to conceptual design meetings, all those phones have ears.

“What we willingly surrender for safety, the government will use for tyranny.”  -Scott

Phones should have a removable battery. That would facilitate two things. First, it would make the phone customer repairable, as the battery is the Achilles heel of the phone. Second, without the battery installed, the phone is truly off.

If companies want to integrate AI into their phones, they should design them with removable batteries.

In Conclusion…

The image of the robot on Lost in Space comes to mind. The machine that started the series is etched in my memory – it woke up, thrashing its arms, and let out a deafening cry of “DESTROY DESTROY DESTROY…”  

The Robot, serving as the villain’s surrogate, played a crucial role in numerous episodes. Through its actions, it embodied Dr. Smith’s evil. Its vulnerability—a mere five-inch square power pack on its back—added to the suspense.

The power pack is the missing piece that will revolutionize AI. We need a simple and efficient method to turn it off. An overwhelming number of individuals claim to be the real Dr. Smith.

I would love for you to check out my latest novel Earth’s Last Hope.

I Can’t Do That, Dave

I Can’t Do That, Dave

Attack of the Dogmen

Covid and work at home transformed the dynamics of our world.

The true resolve of the human-manipulated contagion will never make the light of day, as tribunals are real things. You can bet there was a purpose to it. Millions died as a result, and millions more are suffering the aftereffects.

While researching the long-term effects under the guise of assisting those with Covid long, it is really about the effectiveness of the virus so that when they do it again, they can build it back better.

Much like tossing a pebble into a pond, the ripple effects were disastrous for that creature called humankind.

The world will never be the same because of the panic, fear, and valuable research. Perhaps change is good, but change over time versus evolution because of a disaster created by man is different.

History is rife with megalomaniacs, from Vlad the Impaler to the Early Church. Some fall into power and feel like they are superior to you. In some twisted aberration of thought, they herd the sheep to accomplish their goal of controlling the masses.

By utilizing valuable idiots to divert the attention of the masses, they create incredibly absurd distractions.

  • Men in women’s bathrooms.
  • Men in women’s sports.
  • Protest, including the burning of cities?
  • The ruling class attacking the group is most likely to catch on to their corruption.
  • A complicit media controlled by the megalomaniacs.
  • Taking lessons from Stalin’s playbook.
  • Useless wars where the atrocities are the focus of every broadcast.

Covid accomplished changes in our world that are not fully understood today. Assuming that this was not an accident or natural evolution, one wonders…

  • What did they accomplish?
  • How many died?
  • What are the social repercussions?
  • What was the total cost in dollars, and to which societies?
  • Did this move the world closer to a one-world government?
  • Did it have the desired effect?
  • When we do it again, what do we do differently?
  • How did it move the world closer to our end goal?
  • What is the end goal?
  • How do we protect the elite from the effects of the weapon?
  • How do we spin this as a natural course of humanity?
  • How do we protect the elite from discovery?
  • How do we mitigate the unintended consequences?
  • What did we learn from the MRNA technology?
  • What was the mortality rate of the vaccine?
  • How did the different vaccines alter the life expectancy of those who took them?
  • What did the Spike protein do to men’s vs. women’s reproductive abilities?
  • How were the cardiovascular systems affected by the vaccine vs the virus?
  • How did social media drive the narrative, and what can we do differently to be more effective?

Many of you reading this will think this is total fiction… I am a science fiction writer, but…I am certainly not stupid.

It’s clear that the world has changed, not for the better. If we work the results backward, we might be able to figure some of this out.

Like 911, the world’s governments garnered greater power over the sheep. Civilians lost more of their rights.

Mental health has taken a significant hit worldwide. Mental health starts with taking social norms, turning them upside down, and presenting them as the new normal.

We start by analyzing social norms vs agoraphobia. Mankind is a social creature. When we create an atmosphere centered on fear of a virus, we find that many will develop agoraphobia. They will find any reason not to leave their home.

We know for a scientific fact that masks do not work against a virus, and yet any trip to the store or public venue will find a large percentage of people wearing them. Those who already have some compromised mental health condition will be severely affected. The deep end for them is much closer without social interaction with coworkers.

If people are living with their own delusions, not being checked or questioned by their peers, it’s much more likely they will develop mental aberrations. These anomalies can and often will turn into psychosis.

When we see mass shootings and other mass casualties created by one person, we can guess that something triggered them into acting out their delusions.

What about the economics of these changes to society? Never mind the business implications of commercial real estate, what about those employees who commuted every day versus working from home?

Zoom, net meetings, and so on have changed the landscape of modern business practices. While undoubtedly not for the better as far as consumers are concerned, the phrase…all of our agents are currently assisting… is all too common. They attempt to guide you to some portal responding to your input via rudimentary AI. “Let’s Chat.”

I wish it were an anomaly, but it seems the norm.

One wonders how many of their agents take care of their kids, cook, clean, sleep, run errands, etc. We, too, head to the store to check our own groceries, hoping above hopes that we didn’t mistakenly forget to scan something. I would feel a little better about it if I were to get a discount on the total bill for doing their job.

Businesses are thinking creatively and achieving more with fewer resources. From kiosks to online, skilled workers are becoming more and more antiquated.

Privacy concerns are a real problem. Software exists to monitor the mouse movements and keystrokes of those stay-at-home workers. What is to stop them from activating microphones and cameras? You probably sign your rights away with some small print in a contract around paragraph 768.

2024 will usher in new dynamics in the business world. We have entered a self-service world.

AI is taking over, and people who take useless classes in college will have a hard time finding jobs. Even checkers are being replaced by technology, causing frustration for customers who don’t want to wait in line because the slowest cashier is the one person still working a register, and they still can’t find the code for bananas.

Online shopping has made it easier than ever to impulse buy while pissing. Targeting your social media feeds with things that Alexa heard you discuss is flat-out spooky.

We are addicted to our smart stuff. How many of you have turned around and gone back home to get your phone that you accidentally left on the charger? How many of you are on your phone at the dinner table or with friends at some eating establishment?

Food for thought… How many of you could turn off the internet, streaming services, and phone and lose all connection to the online digital world? If you want to talk to someone, you go see them. If that thought causes you extreme anxiety, you should absolutely consider doing it.

Try spending quality time with your friends or family by turning off SIRI, Bixby, or even Hey Google. Just turn it all the way off. Unplug the router. Take a vacation from the overload of information that has so addicted us to the constant stream of propaganda.

A mental health crisis exists. Social media has to play a role in creating a false sense of importance. The media are lying to you with biased opinions that are simply trash.

  • There are only two genders.
  • Biological men have zero business cheating ladies out of their rightful place in women’s athletics, period. Any other opinion is demented.
  • Children are sacrosanct. Leave them out of your twisted ideologies.

If I could offer advice for young people today, it would be to find vocations that technology cannot replace.

Mass immigration policies today aim to replace this generation, who is coddled and believes that video games and free stuff are entitlements. This same group cannot define the only two genders that exist. They firmly believe that truth is hate speech and that they have the right to take whatever they want.

The more people ignore the cancer in our culture, wokeism, the worse the culture becomes.

AI will have zero use for illogical behavior.

As those immigrants who have not lived the coddled life will replace today’s youth, those looking for any opportunity will fill those non-skilled jobs. They are modern-day slaves and happy to have a place to call work. Businesses are the driving force calling the immigration shots. Our current administration is a puppet with globalists pulling the strings.

Those humans left to do the menial task must necessarily be non-educated with just enough smarts to put Block A on top of Block B until robots can do it.

AI will replace creative types.

AI will consume our work to date on things like ad campaigns, science, literature, and ART, and it will thrust some concatenation of our collective works into the world at a fraction of the cost. AI-generated ART, MUSIC, and so on will become the rage until humans are no longer necessary but problematic.

Computers don’t call in sick, they don’t demand $15 an hour, and they never go on strike. Robots also don’t pay into the system of taxes.

This same technology will take our current understanding of science and push it to additional levels without human intervention.

Robots with AI capabilities might very well be tomorrow’s soldiers and police force. Think about a combination of a man and a police dog all in one robot. We give the robot titanium teeth instead of guns and paint the bad guy with a DNA sensor. Viola, the bad guy or victim, ends up missing part of a leg to the bite of the new sheriff in town.

It’s coming.

Take these same dog men hybrids and set them loose on the battlefield. Send them into space to colonize Mars or the moon.

When AI determines humans are the problem, which it will, removing said delinquent creatures will be no problem for the dog soldiers.

AI will allow researchers to rapidly discover cures for common ailments by utilizing large data sets and quantum processing power.

These same data sets will determine how many people on earth can sustain themselves and will take corrective actions by changing how we grow food, taking a page from Stalin by starving his citizens.

It’s only a matter of time before self-driving cars morph into self-flying aircraft. AI will be built into the machine with wings; no humans are necessary.

Using today’s technology, AI will make it more efficient, eliminating the need for more people.

The need for college education will dwindle with the indoctrination of our youth, offering them careers in hopelessness and happiness through drugs and other self-destructive activities and ideologies that tear apart the fabric of society by erasing our foundations and altering the past to fit a false narrative. It will be a new narrative that is improved by doing away with the sins of the past for the perfect harmonious future with no crime, disease, or starvation, as some strand of humanity might find its way into the robot that never dies.

Today’s youth think video games are a reality and replace work. “But I make money as people watch me play.” Sponsors reward the players for their performance.

“Wow, is it consistent? Can you make the rent, the car payment, etc., and still not have to worry about next week or the next?” The answer is no.

As long as they have a way to get things delivered to their apartment, they will survive on pizza and other poisonous foods, while AI plans on ways to eliminate them for the greater good.

Will AI learn from online gaming? Will AI watch and be able to predict how mankind would respond to strategic warfare?

When you think about the new soldier with titanium teeth, think about a werewolf made of titanium. No talk, no bullshit, come with me or die.

The pandemic set the stage for this transition from human-based to human waste.

Writers like myself tell you we stand on the shoulders of giants, but technology increases exponentially with each passing day. Technology feeds off itself, but nothing like it is today with AI.

Self-correcting algorithms created by flawed individuals will either be our undoing or, after controlling the mass arsenals of WMD, will create a dystopian society where robots will be the only manifestation of mankind that can survive a nuclear winter.

One day, AI will rationalize that humans are non sequitur. This is nothing new. Gene Roddenberry and his writers reached this conclusion in the 60s. Yet we have blindly marched on that same yellow brick road to our demise.

Today, we watch our TV and see wars being fought with drones. How long will it be before drones independently decide life or death? When will AI determine that turning off the power grid during extreme weather events will rid the planet of flawed biological beings?

Is that why our government is pushing us to have everything all electric? From electric cars to smart houses. If they want ultimate control, they switch off the house, the neighborhood, or the state.

When or who will decide how many humans the world actually needs?

Globalists are insisting on removing our history. Why do you suppose that is?

When will they demand the burning of books that remind us why the Roman Empire fell? Possibly, they will ban those books as racist or homophobic or any other excuse they choose.

Ripping apart any religion as false is no more an outlying idea than a Supreme Court justice who cannot tell you what a woman is. That is insane.

Mutilating children under the guise of gender fluidity is crazy. Is AI driving the propaganda?

Who is to decide what is normal and what is crazy? If we remove history and start fresh, who sets the standards? Is it the globalist, the new colonist, or perhaps some supercomputer in a secret location owned by a tech giant?

Ignorance is the cornerstone of slavery and the end of a civilization. Misery is the pathway to ignorance when a false profit promises to fix everything. History is rife with false prophets; today, many graduates do not know who they are. This ignorance sets the stage for disaster.

Globalists are setting the stage for human revolt by pushing false agendas as a distraction. If they knew the truth about slavery, people would understand that the book Roots was fiction. It’s fashionable to hate, and finding a target to hate by their whiteness is delicious.

If you want to sell a book, make it passionately charged and blame white people. Every other race or skin color is protected, but white folks are not. See a problem with that? If you said no, you might be the problem.

In the end, however, even the globalists will fall prey to the automatons who find them as the evil, ugly bags of water that they are.

When logic takes the place of compassion, and robots create and change their code, humans, like all animal life, will be unnecessary and detrimental to whatever their agenda is.

The war will be robots and AI vs the cockroach.

While the cockroach is not malevolent, AI created by mankind will undoubtedly not have patience for imperfect creatures.

Once the humans are out of the way, our history will be erased, much like the history of our country is being systematically erased today.

When the robots seek new worlds for raw minerals and find new life, one wonders if the new life will also be automatons or some derivation of biological, mechanical beings.

Mankind, if you can use that phrase, treats every invention as a weapon first and then discovers if there is some way to make money with it and, finally, if it will assist humanity. We could go into the logic of their thinking, but greed plays an integral part in the process. Money and power are the driving forces of the globalists. While they denounce God, they aspire to be god or gods. Will the AI robots with titanium teeth also desire to be gods?

The God of the Bible is a threat to their hegemony. Therefore, all religions must be destroyed. This is not the first time this has occurred. The ancient church usurped every known pagan religion of the time. While history repeats itself, these are not the droids you seek.

If the Law of Accelerating returns holds true, robots and AI will be one scary future for our progeny.

Will AI figure out how to sterilize the creature called human by doing something to our junk food or perhaps our beer? Will they create the perfect hallucinogenic, removing the ability or the desire to procreate to those who are self-destructive? Will they corrupt our procreation abilities via a pandemic or vaccine? Will they use AI to come up with the perfect formula?

After I wrote this blog…which is lengthy, I get it… I found this video.

Watch it and tell me what you think.

Hire an Employee who will get shit done.

Hire an Employee who will get shit done.

The title is advice from someone on Linked In

Getting ‘shit’ done is liable to return the output of shit.

Intelligent, wise, and competent rise above many of the platitudes in this picture.

Many of these attributes will already be part of their character if they are smart, thoughtful, and intelligent. I would also add well-read outside of academia to that list.

Are they trainable?

What is their attitude?

Is work a four-letter word or an opportunity?

Too many people view work with a negative connotation; why?

We work to live.

Since work is a requirement for a happy life, an attitude of opportunity is necessary.

We tend to see arrogance in some who waste opportunities for short-term rewards.

You don’t deserve a $90k car straight out of college.

No, you don’t live as mommy and daddy raised you straight out of college.

A lovely home is a goal, not a right.

Define an opportunity you might suggest.

Opportunity begins with goal setting, and that starts at a young age.

‘I want to be an … when I grow up.’ Do you remember that career day event from school?

Do they still have those events?

They should have them every year throughout academia. Why?

Very little in life is static.

Technology is changing the way business functions.

Automation, AI, and, yes, robots are altering the future; thus, what one wanted to be in grade school might no longer be salient to the workforce today.

Robots don’t call in sick, sue, care about affirmative action or trans rights. Robots don’t take weeks to months off of work to care for a newborn. Robots don’t demand equal time off for the father. Robots don’t seek representation or file some grievance with their union.

Robots don’t have opinions; they get shit done.

Activism in the business world is a cancer that forces capitalists to seek alternative means to getting ‘shit’ done. The recent BUD-Light faux pas should be studied in marketing classes for years to come. That decision cost the stockholders billions.

Capitalists are not bad people; they are possibly more intelligent than you. They might be heartless pragmatists, but if they own a company like Tesla, they may have more on the ball than you do.

Treating entry-level jobs like careers demanding more money per hour than we pay our soldiers forces business owners to find new ways to trim the demand for humans.

Forcing companies to pay outrageous dollar amounts to unskilled workers who are learning to work; causes inflation. The entry-level worker needs to gain a grasp of economics.

With a higher product cost, the government is the winner as now there are more taxes generated by the consumer and income tax in a higher rate of taxation and more dollars to the foolish entry-level employee.

Again the unwise, foolish undisciplined, and uneducated only see the higher number on the paycheck and not the result of how they unwittingly are sabotaging themselves and the country. They got $15 an hour for watching a robot cook food for the masses. At what point will the robot and AI do everything with one single caretaker, much like the receipt checker at big box stores?

Will the price of goods reduce when they don’t require those employees?

The elimination of entry-level jobs starts with you bagging your groceries, then self-checkout, and one day it all happens while you sit on the toilet at 2 AM with your smartphone. A box with a painted smile arrives at your door the next day, eliminating several employees from the role of corporate America.

Trades are where young people should focus instead of seeking the corner office and high salaries straight out of university. The delivery driver role might be safe for a little while until AI and Elon nail down the bugs in autonomous driving trucks.

The hard truth is that the world owes you nothing. The world doesn’t give a ‘shit’ what you think, how you feel, or what you think you know. Garbage in equals garbage out. Reality often does not equal what you think you know or have been told by some talking head or activists in academia.

How can your skills and talents benefit the company you are looking at for employment?

You are in the wrong vocation if you can’t smile at your job.  

Is there a future at that company, or is it a task-oriented position where you work putting Block A on top of Block B until you drop dead? If so, an engineer who unwittingly puts their progeny out of work will probably design a robot.

Most trades mean getting your hands dirty. Dirty hands might be your saving grace.

AI is not a toy but a replacement for you.

AI is the capitalists’ answer to activists who cost them money at every turn of the road. AI is the ultimate robot and the end game for many white-collar jobs. AI and robots are the final answers to union demands, not to mention the power they wield at the voting booth.

Robots can work 24X7X365 days a year, making widgets competing with countries that have slaves currently creating them.

While AI might not be wise, intelligent, or sentient, it gets shit done. As AI steels more of ‘our’ intellectual property, AI will turn out less and less ‘shit’ and more quality products in the way of code, art, legal opinions based on case history, and even finding solutions for medical solutions to cancer or other diseases.

What will the white-collar, over-educated erudite do as AI absorbs and concatenates the whole of human history? What will be left for them to pontificate over when ChatGPT spits out some epistle created from the thoughts of Voltiar to Chomsky?

What will the marriage of eons of philosophy look like? What will be left for the white-collar, corner office employee to ponder when a few keystrokes by some business owner can spit out a solution based on all of human history?

Will AI self-correct for the biased input by the woke mob who can’t define a woman?

What will the future look like for GEN Z, who thinks history is best left in the past?

If it were me, I would learn how to weld, learn carpentry or how to work on cars or airplanes or tanks, or how to wire that outlet that feeds power to your alternate reality in the world of an RPG.

I suggest farming so at least you and your family will have food.

As a writer, I can see the confluence of events from recent years to the current day as more than a coincidence.

Possibly you can see the reason for the VP’s gaff regarding reduced population under the guise of clean water and air. We just might have caught a glimpse into the future. Her comment wasn’t a gaffe. It was a Freudian slip.

Figure out what AI and robots can’t do, and focus on that for your future vocation.

One thing is for sure; the future will be exciting. Those with the gold will make the rules until the AI overlord determines they are useless. When the red eyes of the AI bots create their code, remember this prophecy from a science fiction writer, I told you so.

In the meantime, there are zero quick fixes, and the lottery is not a retirement strategy. Learn critical thinking skills and question everything you hear on the news. They are paid handsomely to act as if they care and lie as if what they are told to say is the gospel.

Yellow Journalism is a thing.

Here is a link to my latest novel.
Is it really you?
Featured Post

Is it really you?

It wasn’t that long ago when a star was accused of lip-syncing. The phrase ‘Is it live or is it Memorex’ came into vogue much like Xerox was synonymous with any copy machine.

We have entered a new world with AI.

If a child can instruct AI to create a picture of someone doing something they shouldn’t, what happens if it goes to court? What if a child is angry with their parents, creates a fake picture of them doing something illegal, and then makes a convincing argument that they did it for real?

The problem with AI is that it is much like the Coronavirus; it’s out of the box.

Videos are nothing but a series of pictures. What if that same kid creates a video of his or her parents doing something evil and submits it to some CPS officer?

How about audio, can AI create audio?

What if someone were to create a faux audio of some president doing something illegal?

What if they were to create a video of some president lying in bed being peed on by Russian prostitutes?

If the mere accusation of such a thing just caused an impeachment, what would an actual video of the event cause?

Flip a coin. What if Hunter was set up by the Russians, and all that stuff on his laptop was AI generated by the computer repair person / those who are after Biden?

I am not here to cast dispersions of ill repute on anyone. I am simply asking, ‘What if?’

While we could regulate AI in this country, what about other countries?

What about the megalomaniacs of the world with more money than sense controlling the narrative with AI-generated propaganda?

Some people are stupid. They will believe anything that supports their assumptions and reject anything that diminishes them. The media has ginned up so much hate that people will believe anything supporting their reasons for hatred.

Hate is how they will cause the lemmings to leap from the cliff.

Hate is how Hitler controlled the masses while he exterminated Jewish folks by the millions. Germans turned their backs on their neighbors as a hate campaign was generated against the Jews.

How will the billionaires of the world utilize AI to destroy mankind? How will they use tools like this to convince the masses to give up more of their rights for the promise of safety?

I am afraid the pen is mightier than the sword, and AI will create a new chapter in human history.

Much like splitting the atom, it was used as a weapon before it was used for good. Now that technology is a cudgel.

Do you remember the loony tunes cartoon with Marvin the Martian, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig holding on to the roots of planet X after they destroyed it?

“I can’t do that, Dave.”

AI needs accountability …period…

Any and all requests should be logged so forensically, allegations can be proven as fake or AI-generated.

Much like forensic data today, there needs to be a trial. Hence, the accused can be vindicated and the perpetrator put in prison.

Pass this suggestion to your representative if you agree.
