Edward Bernays

Edward Louis Bernays (November 22, 1891 – March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-born American pioneer in public relations, widely recognized as the father of the profession for developing systematic methods to shape public opinion through psychological manipulation. As the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Bernays drew on psychoanalytic principles to influence unconscious desires, applying them in propaganda efforts during World War I for the U.S. Committee on Public Information and later in commercial campaigns for corporations.

Who Are The Real Kings?


So-called King, Donald Trump, ran in two contested Republican primaries. He ran three times in a general election. He was elected twice, and his party recently won a Republican Congress. In contrast, in 2020, Joe Biden did not run a typical campaign.

The True Nature Of Scandinavian "Socialism"


The Scandinavian model is often misrepresented as a humane and efficient form of socialism. In reality, it is a distinctly coercive and oligarchic form of statism. While the system preserves the formal legality of civilized concepts like human rights, justice, and private property, in practice, it operates on a Marxist-fascist foundation: it systematically violates the individual through taxation, regulation, and bureaucratic entrapment—leaving only a small, politically-connected class permitted to engage in a narrow, state-sanctioned form of commerce.

Okay... not to diss on the author, but this hasn't aged well over the last 3 years. As a prorammer, I use AI every day. I used 3 of them in the past hour. Sure, I check every line AI generates, but I use AI nonetheless. Sure, I often discard the AI-generated changes and start over (and over, and over), yet it's still faster than me trying to type it all by hand. I'll literally tell AI to try to do something, scrap it, and try again, half a dozen times in a row, with slight modifications, and that will be faster than doing it myself.

Not to mention that oftentimes the AI does work! See this quick article for an example: https://wasyaco.com/w/20260815

Would I have come up with this solution on my own? I doubt it. Does it save me time and improve efficiency? Absolutely.

AI is very powerful, and works better than ever, and continues improving. Sure, a lot of it is fraud, a lot of it is questionable, and even the best modern AI will try to ruin your codebase, if you let it. (A junior programmer would also ruin your codebase if you let him.)

Fundamentally, I believe the GPT architecture actually go it right. The way brain works, the way neurons work. Each neuron does integrals, and together they *predict*, anticipate something, and that anticipation is what builds the world around us. The "attention" mechanic that divides computation into key, query, value, seems to work so well. And arguably, there is no cognition outside language. GPT does very well with language, with plain text, and generating (and consuming) plain-text instructions. Amazingly, even if all GPT does is give you probability of the next token, this alone is so powerful, that it looks like cognition.

So yeah. We are at the very scary place where AI *is* becoming indispensable. Even in defending yourself against AI.
