We beg to differ.
A post on social media platform X issued by media organisation Al Jazeera shows what seems to be a “report” on the ongoing drama in the Philippine Senate surrounding embattled Senator Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa. There were reports of gunfire last night in the Senate building as dela Rosa attempted to flee arresting officers acting…
Given that Filipinos are famously intellectually-stunted as it is, moves by the Philippine government to block Grok (the artificial intelligence (AI) app within X — the social media site formerly known as “Twitter” — should be a welcome development. At the moment, the Philippines is reportedly exploring options around this but under the pretext of…

When all else fails, seek validation from an artificial intelligence (AI), right? Laughably, this is what self-crowned “thought leader” Richard Heydarian does on an X post promoting Grok to tell him all about his self-perceived victimhood. Heydarian fails to consider that people are on to the AI hype. These systems — specifically those made available…

A lot of money has been pumped into the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and, as a result, we are now being spammed by the AI hype juggernaut. We get “encouragement” to use AI at work to improve our “productivity” in the tasks of churning out “content”. We are constantly reminded of the “existential threat” AI…

I realised recently that the domains AskLeni.com and LeniBot.com are available for the taking as of this writing. There’s an idea right there for an interesting project or thesis for Computer Science students — building an artificial intelligence (AI) that can generate Leni-speak. The AI could work off a digitised body of public statements from…

When you get to the core of it, the root problem of this whole “debate” over “Independence Day” is that nobody can really point out what it means to be truly independent. For that matter, even if some genius actually did, it would not really matter as the terms that populate conventional definitions of independence…
Blade Runner 2049 got rave reviews then “bombed” on its opening weekend. So what? I enjoyed it. The same thing pretty much happened to the original one in 1982 which took the slow road to cult classic status. Both are multilayered and sublime films. Even back in 1982, back when the youth of the time…

According to a report on the results of a World Economic Forum (WEF) survey conducted across 15 economies that “account for approximately 65 per cent of the world’s total workforce”, robots and artificial intelligence technology will eliminate 7.1 million jobs over the next five years. The new technologies will, however, create 2 million “new positions”…
