Are You Just a 'Meat PROXY' for AI?

“Meat proxy” is the worst insult you can hurl at me right now. The term, popularized in August 2026 by the software engineer Niklas Gruhn, refers to a person who takes what artificial intelligence generates and passes it on to another person without reading or even thinking about the output first. As someone who takes pride in my independent thinking, that is the biggest insult I could imagine receiving, if people thought I was operating under AI’s instructions. It’s easy to look down on people

My Brief Romance With an AI Bird FEEDER

I miss my sweet tits. It started off promising enough. Dozens of tiny, colorful birds were drawn to my garden just a few weeks after I mounted a $350 $269 Kiwibit Bird Feeder 2 Pro. "Looks like Great Tit!" read the first AI-driven alert sent to my phone. "Looks like Eurasian Blue Tit!" read another. I chuckled, still waiting for adulthood to kick in. This went on for days. Hundreds of miniature tits came to snack on expensive sunflower seeds already husked. They'd skulk about in nearby trees b

RAMageddon Is Here — 3 Ways to Survive the MEMORY Price Crisis

Unless you happen to live with a software engineer or avid gamer, you may not be aware of the current shortage in computer RAM—which your resident computer expert may be calling RAMageddon or the RAMpocalypse.

The Free Tool That FINALLY Fixes Your Copy-Paste Nightmares

What We've Been Calling AI Is Actually SOMETHING Else Entirely

When President Donald Trump addressed the United Nations in late September, he said the word “artificial” in “artificial intelligence” made the technology sound fake.

He signed an executive order that instructed federal agencies to use his chosen phrase instead of AI in official communications. What Trump says goes: The Department of Justice has sinc

What to Consider Before Making a HUGE Ask From Your Team

As a supervisor, you have some ability to dictate what your direct reports work on. The requests you make should typically fit their job description, though most descriptions have a catchall “other duties as assigned” attached, which is likely to cover you. That said, the jobs you give someone generally have a particular expectation of the skills required, the hours to be worked, and the stress level associated with the tasks. If you’re going to ask someone to do something that far exceeds the n

To understand this insight, it’s important to recognize that a return to the office can mean very different things to diffe

Why NO ONE Trusts HR Anymore — And What Companies Must Do Now
