Fallout 4 Pic of the Week

Fallout 4 character reading suspicious looking engineering plans
Plans for a construction project, really? 
The Fallout developers certainly have a collective sense of humor. The latest installment in the Fallout franchise is riddled with teddy bears, curiously-positioned mannequins, and more obscure comedic references. I just found this funny because the guy is carrying on an otherwise-serious conversation while looking at engineering plans resembling a coloring book.

Introducing NullBot Social: The New Platform That Swears It’s Bot-Free (Just Like Last Time)

Image
  The bots have taken over. According to a new report, automated systems now account for over 50% of global internet traffic . On Twitter/X, it’s worse— 75% of activity is synthetic . That meme you just laughed at? AI-generated. That argument you got into about mayonnaise? Two bots, LARPing as people, monetizing your outrage. We didn’t lose the internet to nukes. We autocompleted it into oblivion. 🤖 A New Hope… or at Least a New Domain Enter NullBot Social , the latest startup promising to return us to an imagined golden age when humans were still driving the discourse and not just screaming into algorithmic echo chambers. Slogan: “No bots allowed.” (Not legally binding. Conditions apply.) Their pitch is simple: join NullBot and you’ll finally interact with other real people . No deepfakes, no LLM-generated thirst traps, no 2:00 a.m. friend requests from GPT-7. Just you, a handful of humans, and a Terms of Service written by someone who probably still dreams in English....

The History of the Doomsday Clock (and Why AI Keeps Resetting It)

  Introduction The Doomsday Clock was first introduced in 1947 by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Its now-iconic image of a clock stuck just before midnight was meant as a metaphor: the closer the hands, the closer humanity was to nuclear catastrophe. Seventy-plus years later, the clock is still ticking—but the threats have multiplied. Climate change, pandemics, cyberwarfare, and, increasingly, artificial intelligence all play a role in where the hands are set. Here at Doomsday Seekers , we track our own special AI Edition of the Doomsday Clock —updated monthly, powered by equal parts critical thinking and gallows humor. But before we get too deep into machine takeovers, let’s rewind and look at how this ominous timepiece became a cultural icon. Origins of the Doomsday Clock Created in 1947 by artist Martyl Langsdorf for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Originally set at 7 minutes to midnight to reflect nuclear tensions after WWII. Designed not as a pr...

America’s Got AI – Tech Company Edition

Image
Forget singing, dancing, or juggling flaming swords — this season, the judges are looking for one thing: the most impressive display of artificial intelligence that can boost quarterly earnings without spooking the stock market. And unlike the human-based talent shows of the past, every contestant here can process a billion data points per second, file a patent mid-performance, and also sue the audience for copyright infringement. The Judges Lydia Byte – Visionary CEO of MegaCloud. Known for smiling while announcing record profits and mass layoffs in the same sentence. Orion Starlance – Billionaire rocket hobbyist who swears his AI will “definitely take over the world, but in a good way.” Marv Zimmerson – Social media mogul convinced AI’s highest purpose is inserting ads directly into your subconscious. Wildcard Judge – A rotating seat: sometimes it’s an AI pretending to be human, sometimes it’s a venture capitalist who thinks “LLM” stands for “Lots of Mone...
