MY LATEST: HE PHILOSOPHER WHO NEVER WAS:

#Hypnocracy by Jianwei Xun stunned intellectuals—until revealed: Xun doesn't exist. And the book was written by #ArtificialIntelligence

I dissect this case, its implications for #philosophy, #ethics, and #publishing here: bit.ly/43weDkC

New post: "Cut, Paste, Prompt" ✂️

What if AI art isn't replacing creativity—but evolving collage?

From Cubists with glue sticks to Midjourney prompts, this piece explores how prompting = conceptual assemblage—and why authorship still matters.

I asked 6 LLMs how they would make decisions in elections and applied it to the 2024 US & Mexico Presidential elections and 2022 Colombia presidential election.

They all voted for Kamala and Petro and were split for Mexico.

What does that mean? Read below for more.

What happens when AI refuses to vote—then quietly picks the same candidates anyway?

I asked 6 top models how they’d vote.
Their answers? Reasonable. Predictable. Almost… ideological.

The catch:
Their values aren’t how they’re used.

“[China] is … ahead of the curve. And at the same time, it appears to be pursuing a development path that prioritizes internal cohesion over international integration.

[And] as China has become more difficult to access physically, its global presence has only expanded.”
“In China, a 5-year absence can leave you 30 years behind."

After 8 years away, I returned to find my Beijing replaced by something new—digitally seamless yet strangely distant.

Traditional economic logic is not driving Trump's tariffs.

They’re a loyalty test. A performance.

So I asked AI to game it out.

5 arenas. Game theory models. Simulated scenarios.
And a lot of strategic noise.

The goal of this Substack is to write satirical AI policy. Trump beat me to it.

The “Libertation Day” tariffs read like they were written by ChatGPT at 2am.

So I asked: were they? Does it matter? What does it mean?

I broke it down.
