WARNER: AI = Artificial Integrity and A Massive Cost to Consumers

August 28, 2025 Aaron Warner

The steady march of technology has brought with it many blessings, from railroads to pocket calculators to pacemakers and solar-powered home heating systems. However, the adherents of the scientific revolution assume the inevitability of humanity needing to acquire artificial intelligence as if actual intelligence requires supplementation. Even the innovators of this technology, such as Elon … Read more

Google’s Bard Refused to Answer Direct Questions…Part 2

January 13, 2025 Skip

In Part 1, it was clear that the tech staff developing Google’s first Artificial Intelligence offering, Bard, had decided that those who wanted to use it had to be protected from themselves. They aren’t made of strong enough material. The Woke’s “triggering” with an AI-enhanced chaser. “ONLY I can protect you from yourself!”.Yeah, enough of … Read more

Google and California Bail Out Newsrooms, Why is No One Happy?

August 27, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Democrats in and out of the media want to bail out newsrooms. The progressives can’t seem to move on. Newspapers are dying, but the people obsessed with Forward keep looking back. Longingly. Pining for a publicly funded propaganda machine (NPR just isn’t enough). Yearning for someone to bail out their mouthpieces. Millions have been dumped … Read more

Big Tech Conundrum: It Can’t Have A.I. and Reduce “Emissions” – Whatever Will It Do?

July 6, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Artificial Intelligence is all the rage, but its pursuit—and that of profits—has created a problem. You don’t birth digital consciousness out of nothing. Even the most basic AI requires a lot of electricity, and the more powerful the system is, the more users call upon it and the more significant the “emissions” needed to keep it operating.

How Google Is Run By The CIA And Is Rigging The Election

February 25, 2024 Ed Mosca

I’m sure that the response of New Hampshire’s free-marketeers to this post would be something along the lines of … Google is a private company and as such has an absolute right to bias its search results any way it wishes, … has an absolute right to employ as may ex-CIA as it wants … if you don’t like it, build your own Google, … blah, blah, blah.

NH’s Department of Selective Justice – Election Law Division

December 28, 2023 Steve MacDonald

It’s been a good month for NH AG Formella. The week before Christmas, they reported a 700 million-dollar settlement with Google. Couch cushion money for Alphabet, but a decent haul for Jackpot Justice New Hampshire. Do we need a huge payoff to get the AG to chase everything?

Useful Idiots — New Hampshire, UNH, Stanford, Yale and the Rise of ‘Racism’

September 20, 2024October 28, 2023 Claire Best

Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act reads: “Simple justice requires that public funds, to which all taxpayers of all races [colors, and national origins] contribute, not be spent in any fashion which encourages, entrenches, subsidizes or results in racial [color or national origin] discrimination.”

Google is Trying to Put the ‘Men’ In Menstruate.

September 7, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The menses are blood and cellular debris from the uterus. Menstruation is the process of discharging that debris. You need one to have the other and a uterus for both. But according to Google, anyone can do it or have it (menstruation), which is silly, but that’s the world we live in now, right?

Hey A.I. – Who has more Rights: Parents or LGBT people? Part 2

July 19, 2023 Skip

So, we left off with Bard throwing in with the Left in declaring words (sex) can be redefined at any time for political ideology (“gender identity”). And Speech Coercion by Government is a fine thing for Government to tell us how to speak and think:

Yes, a transgender student has the right to be called by their preferred pronouns by others.

Raced-Based College Scholarships From Tech Giant Google Are Probably Illegal

August 24, 2022 Op-Ed

For our friends on the left, attitudes toward race have apparently come full circle. It wasn’t that long ago, less than a decade perhaps, that the mere suggestion of a major corporation openly discriminating against prospective candidates for scholarships and fellowships based on their race would have been denounced from every angle of the political spectrum.

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” -Voltaire In part 1 of this series, we looked at the common method groomers use to ensnare their victims from identifying and personalizing to love bombing and ultimately enslaving.

Duckduck Go! Is Down-Ranking Sites They “Associate” with Disinformation

March 11, 2022 Op-Ed

We should have known better. I should have known better. What was billed as the “secure” alternative to Google’s data-siphoning search engine has turned out to be no better at belaying the leftist barrage of downvoting unacceptable speech.

They Thought the Name “Gypsy” Was Offensive So they Changed It!

March 6, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Some find the word gypsy offensive. It connotes a less than flattering stereotype of the Romani people. The Entomological Society of America took this to heart and decided to do their part to roll back the stigma by renaming an infamous critter.

So, You Thought Google Drive was a Safe Space for Your Files? Sucks to be you, maybe

December 19, 2021December 18, 2021 Skip

Remember, if the online service is free, you are the product. And, you’ll get taunted and have your files “stolen” from you if you use Google Drive. Not only is there Politically Correct Speech, now there are “Politically Correct Files”?
