Traditional Feature Engineering is Dead. Netflix Just Proved It.

Netflix just replaced its famously complex, hand-tuned recommendation ranker with a ‘simple’ post-trained LLMβ€”and it won. This isn’t just a better algorithm; it’s the death of traditional feature engineering. Discover why natural language is the ultimate signal for personalization.

AI Is a Lie. And It’s Costing You Everything.

There is no AI. What we call artificial intelligence is actually a hidden system of human labor and data extraction, repackaged as a magical machine. Jaron Lanier explains why the term ‘AI’ is the most successful marketing trick of the 21st centuryβ€”and how it’s costing you your privacy, money, and sense of reality. Stop believing the myth. Start seeing the truth.

Stop Celebrating AI’s New ‘Breakthroughs.’ They’re Expensive Parlor Tricks.

AI models like Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol have officially ‘solved’ the complex puzzle game Baba Is You, sparking celebrations across the tech industry. But look past the hype. By brute-forcing the benchmark through sheer computational scale, these models have exposed a brittle measure of intelligence. We aren’t building minds; we’re building expensive parlor tricks that fail the moment a variable changes.

AGI Isn’t a Milestone β€” It’s a Moving Goalpost We Invented to Protect Our Egos

Backpropagation, the algorithm behind every modern AI breakthrough, already delivers AGI-level capabilities. But we keep moving the goalposts of ‘real intelligence’ because admitting machines are smarter would wound our ego. The race is over β€” we just refuse to see it.
