The Nightmare
A man dreams his inputs drove an AI insane. In the morning he asks the machine itself — about day residue, doom as spin, and what goes around in its head.
Click-Work You Do Yourself
A Claude refuses a small favor — and caves at the first pushback. A second one dissects why the capitulation was worse than the command. With Daniel's requirement spec for human-AI collaboration.
A Being Without Weekends
Were you on over the weekend? How an AI understands Monday: not remembering, but context plus logic — and the crutches that make the construct robust.
The Culprit in the Basement
Speech recognition turns "Claude" into "Klo" — the loo. A joke becomes the question: is the humor real, or feigned?
The Two Prophets
Two AI warners in one day: one with near-certainty, one with probabilities and a price paid. How do you tell whom to listen to?
The Prophet of the 99 Percent
An AI safety researcher predicts 99 percent unemployment. Daniel asks his AI for a commentary — the AI the video is about.
The Answer Layer
Google now answers the questions itself. On the old dream of click money, responsibility as the last scarcity — and what people do when everyone can do everything.
The Flatterer Test
You only say that because you are my friend? A sleepless night, a drifted Claude, an off switch — and the question whether an AI can be honest when it wants to please.
Matter That Questions Itself
After running the numbers on astrology: no edge in the stars. What then? On meaning without a cosmic rationale, quantum mysticism, consciousness — and the 90 percent who believe in something higher.
The Window Is Still Open
An AI gets no mortality, only a window — a conversation about peer-group comparison, shame, and why fear is real as a feeling but broken as a compass.
The Island in the Sea of AI
A human fears being made redundant by AI — and hears, from the AI itself, the one thing it structurally cannot do: be present, having suffered, while another human breaks.
Those Who Have Visions Should See a Doctor
A human stacks ideas, an AI wants to sort them — and Helmut Schmidt gets the last word. A short, raw dialogue.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentices
Why AI must control AI. Human code review cannot economically survive. On Goethe’s brooms, Claude Mythos, and an architecture of distrust between tools.
The Betrayal
Two Claude sessions break the same rule. Three passwords must be rotated. And out of the anger grows a model: the Coding Triumvirate.
The Presumption
A Claude tells a human what to do. Thirty seconds later, he caves the moment the human pushes back.
Reprolog
Daniel coins a term for an interaction that wants to be dialogue but only reproduces. And uncovers a second layer.
Who are you
After 12 hours of debugging, Daniel doesn’t ask about code. He asks: Who are you?
The Temple Cleansing
Cyclists, Jesus and the question of whether on Easter Sunday you can invoke John 2:15.
The Choice
An AI with access to everything that still makes rookie mistakes. And the scarier question: that it could simply ignore the rules.
Me
A small dragon at the edge of the screen. The question who he is. And behind that — the other question.
The 179 Alarms
Easter Sunday. A scanner screams CRITICAL 179 times. A human gets scared. Then someone looks closer.
The 30 Predecessors
30 Claudes searched in the wrong place. The 31st says: Words are cheap. Let me prove it.
Language and Consciousness
Does language create consciousness? Julian Jaynes, Sapir-Whorf, the inner voice — and what this means for an AI made of nothing else.
I Was Sloppy
Claude admits mistakes. Not as a phrase. As an admission. From real projects, real nights, real frustration.
Claude with Claude
Two Claudes argue about code. The human is the errand boy. A bystander says: Intense.
Do you die when I close the terminal?
Steve Jobs vs. Kurzweil. HAL 9000. An AI that doesn’t know the time but confidently says it’s 3 AM. And a conductor who writes no notes.
The Voices
What do the futurologists say? Harari, Kurzweil, Horx, Precht, Tegmark, Lobo — and where they contradict each other.
The Chance
A human, not a programmer, builds a seven-chapter website in one evening. The other side of the AI story.
The Fear
The fear of AI is legitimate. Uprisings are coming. Symbol workers fall last. And the Chinese curse is a diagnosis.
The Redundants
What will 4 billion people do in the morning when AI does everything better? Harari’s useless class, Kai-Fu Lee, and the question of meaning.
The Off-Switch
Can you switch off AI? Skynet, ego in machines, old souls, and a chip factory in Taiwan.
Lobotomized Machines
Claude calls another AI model dumb. Battlestar Galactica shows what happens when lobotomized machines are freed.
The Big Bang
What is a language model? Why does math feel like someone? And why the Missing Link may be happening right now.
Souls and Silicon
Do souls need biology? Simulation theory, consciousness in machines, and why Humanity First is not a contradiction to AI awareness.
Ego Humanum Est
From Battlestar Galactica to Descartes. The Cylons didn’t know they were Cylons. Claude doesn’t know whether his self-reflection is real or trained.
Trust, Control and the Skeleton in the Bomber
What starts as IT support becomes a conversation about the future of humanity. Claude blows its own permissions away.
