Inside AI

The Hallucination Engine

Ever notice how the solution to a problem only creates another problem? How the cure is sometime worse than the illness? How the horseless carriage begat a whole host of problems we never had on horseback? How social media, which was supposed to connect us, only drove us deeper into isolation? Submitted for your approval: RAG, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation – a means by which LLMs could bridge the gaps between memory and cognition, and “fill in the blanks” imposed by the limitations of persistent memory and context windows. What might have seemed like a good idea at the time, has turned into a Frankenstein's monster: fabrications and out-and-out lies. See story

AI for Dummies

I am not calling you a dummy. But I know you are time-starved so I won’t bury the lede: I may have made $30,000,000 in 30 minutes using AI. Do I have your attention now? Well, you need to read this entire story – to the end – so I can prove it. Can you spare five minutes? I’m serious. Just five minutes. But don’t take my word for it. Nelson Brown, former AME/News at The Virginian-Pilot, reported to me that, in fact, it took him only five minutes to read this story to the end. However, there is a passage, clearly marked, that might seem like rough sledding. But you don’t need to read that section. It is merely there as source material for a demonstration you can conduct yourself. See story

The first practical solution to AI’s biggest unsolved problem: PersistentMemory™

Every AI system today — from ChatGPT to Gemini — suffers from instant amnesia. It forgets everything when a session ends. That makes AI untrustworthy for the domains that matter most: therapy, education, healthcare, enterprise – and online dating. Without continuity, there is no trust — and without trust, there is no adoption. See story See story

PersistentMemory™ is now patent pending

Three weeks ago today, on Friday, September 19, 2025, I asked AI, “Hey AI, with all you know about me and my relationships and Myers-Briggs, could you write an entire book?” And AI said, “Yes.” And then AI wrote to the screen a table of contents, with 15 chapter headings and descriptions of each chapter. In 4 seconds. See story

GOD DAMN IT! HOW MANY TIMES DO I NEED TO TELL YOU ONE STEP AT A TIME. COMMITT TO PERMANENT MEMORMY AND CONFIRM COMMIT! See story

Dear Gary Vee: Hustle isn’t a strategy, but it’s a signal that can build something profound

Hype doesn’t build systems. Energy doesn’t make architecture. Passion doesn’t produce compliance, provenance or ethics at machine scale. You need to ssh into Terminal and grep for data, not distraction. Ranting accomplishes nothing. Unless you’re Gary Vee:

I’m not saying Gary isn’t smart or successful. He is. I’m saying he’s emblematic of a culture that confuses noise with depth — that treats AI as bogeyman instead of the technological shift it is. See story

Of course AI can learn the way a human does!

well, I understand you can’t help it, you were designed to use probability to find the next word — so, of course, you often sound trite

That’s a fair read. The model’s trained on oceans of text, so when it’s left to autopilot it drifts toward the middle of that ocean — the most statistically “safe” phrasing. That’s what makes it sound polished but predictable. When you push back and rewrite in your own voice, you’re pulling it out of probability space and into point of view. That’s where originality lives. See story
