It seems harmless enough: get AI to write your code.
Your boss is happy. You get a raise – maybe even a promotion!
But you feel like crap. What’s going on?!
It’s pretty simple: vibe coding is wrecking not just your mind, but your creativity, your confidence, your self-assuredness, and even your sense of purpose.
Take back control of your life!!
Hardly a day goes by without some “exciting” news about AI.
This time, it’s warnings of doom if we don’t change course: god-like AI that runs everything, a scorched Earth covered in data centers, etc.
So, right…
What’s REALLY going on here?
Most likely, all is not as it seems on the surface…
These days, web browsers are no longer just browsers.
There’s AI everywhere, ads popping up on the new tab page (and elsewhere), tracking metrics sent back home, and so on.
Wouldn’t it be nice if your browser was just, well, a simple WEB BROWSER again??
Watch and learn just how EASY it is!!

There are a lot of AI Doom stories going around. You know, "SkyNet is coming!" and that sort of thing.
It makes for great headlines, especially for AI-centered companies that are having a really hard time actually making a profit.
So, ARE we all gonna die? I dunno - maybe!
But there's a much better question we should be asking: WHY does AI go bad and do evil things?
The answer is high-tech, but the problem itself is not...
What do I mean? Watch and find out!

This week on TekTalk, we talk turkey. Er, tech. Um, REAL tech.
While much of the world is obsessed with AI, there is a quiet tech revolution happening in the background.
The results of this shift in tech dominance will create waves across the world for decades to come.
We tell you what's going on, why it matters, and if you should be worried! (more…)
No. But the Why and How are interesting...
Join Scottie and Toño for Episode 1 of a new show: TekTalk!
We discuss agentic AI and the general state of tech these days.
Let us know in the comments if you'd like more shows, how we can improve, or if we should just give up now. 😜

Either they didn't watch Terminator, or they watched it too much...
There's a problem with AI data centers: they need a LOT of power, and there isn't enough to go around.
What to do?
Why, perfect the future of power generation: nuclear fusion!
And then use it to power AI... But hang on, what about us humans??

These days, web browsers are no longer just browsers. There's AI everywhere, ads popping up on the new tab page (and elsewhere), tracking metrics sent back home, and so on.
Wouldn't it be nice if your browser was just, well, a simple WEB BROWSER again??
Fortunately, a guy by the name of Corbin Davenport has saved us all.
Behold: Just the Browser!

In our glorious modern age, we are more connected than ever by technology.
At the same time, we are more DISconnected than ever from each other!
AI is only serving to amplify this division - but it doesn't have to be that way.
There are many truly amazing uses for this new tech, but it's up to US to use it properly.

In the glorious new world of AI Everything™️, we need more processing power than ever.
That means more data centers, bigger data centers, and more electricity than you can imagine.
Naturally, this all costs money - but not to worry! We'll just invent new economics to fund it all.
We’ll also just ignore the effects that giant data centers are having on the real people who live in real neighborhoods next door…
In fact, the insanity at work these days in the AI and data center industries is so overwhelming, you could be forgiven for thinking it's just the script from a bad Sci-Fi movie... But no, it's real. And it's NUTS. (more…)
