Resistance to the new technology, he continued, is “very much like sitting here saying, ‘Well, I believe the horse and the buggy is really where it’s at. These cars, they break down, they need gas, there’s all kinds of problems with them and pretty soon they’ll be making them into tanks, and then they’ll be killing people. It’s terrible.’”

Originating from the idea that eggs can break or fail to hatch, it cautions against premature celebration, such as spending money before it is guaranteed.

A short clip from the game Cosmic Express, in which a train with one carriage travels between two alien characters who are an equal distance from it. They both jump towards the empty carriage at the same time, hitting their heads together and falling back into their original positions, while the train proceeds without either one.

AI slop masquerading as something genuine.
A review of The Witness, by a writer named "Hrink", reads "Pretentious, frustrating, and brilliant."
A statement on AI When I was around 12 years old, I went on the holiday of a lifetime: a trip to New York City. As an unsophisticated Brit, who grew up in a village, it was incredibly exciting: full of lights, late-night meals, and buildings taller than seemed possible. During that trip, our generous host offered to buy me a book of my choice, and I opted for a collection of essays on artificial intelligence. That’s the kind of kid I was. This fascination with AI was very much a product of the time, when robots were ever-present in our ‘culture’ (Short Circuit, The Terminator, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and the most rudimentary forms of chatbot (ELIZA) were basically another form of video game. After that, my interest waned. I avoided the optional AI-related project at university. I shared the common disappointment with ‘AI-lite’ tools like Microsoft’s much-loathed Clippy. Ideas that had once seemed intriguing had become annoying, maybe as a result of their adoption by global megacorps. Keep fast-fowarding until the cusp of 2026. AI is everywhere, but never has it felt more depressing. Any positive uses are overshadowed by the bad: slop-generators replacing jobs and hallucinations sidelining the expression of actual human thoughts and feelings. I refuse to be a part of this. Fortunately, it’s still possible to be a conscientious objector—at least, in some contexts, such as my own personal writing. So, on this site, I will never use AI to write an article, I will never prompt an LLM to vomit out a bunch of nonsense and redirect that nonsense onto a page here. (I never have, BTW, I just want to emphasise that I never will, either!) Bobby Jack, 2025-12-29
