“Sumawka Caller”

Ever ask AI a simple question and get a warning label instead? You know the one. You type something you’d ask a neighbor over the fence. And what comes back reads like the back of a medicine bottle. Here’s how it went for me. We had a hailstorm come through. Not a bad one. But…

A document came across my desk this week. It said AI agent governance has stopped being advice and started being law. That got my attention. So I went and read the things it was pointing at. The first was from the Financial Stability Board. That is the group that coordinates financial regulators around the world….

Ten thousand, five hundred and fifty-two. That was the number sitting at the top of my traffic report this morning. One address. One week. Ten and a half thousand requests to my little website. I run a small operation. I write four post a day. I am a retired man in Kentucky with a laptop…

Nvidia had a good Wednesday. The company reported ninety-six billion dollars in a single quarter. That is more than double what it did a year ago. Then it did something it had never done before. It told the market what to expect a full year out. Seventy percent growth. The stock jumped. The analysts got…

It never sounds unsure. That’s the part that gets you. It answers everything in the same steady voice. The thing it knows cold and the thing it made up out of nothing come out sounding exactly alike. You can’t hear the difference. That’s not your fault. There isn’t one to hear. My mother got to…

There is an election in a little over two months. I am not going to tell you who is going to win it. I do not know, and neither does anybody else who tells you they do. I want to talk about something underneath it. Go stand in a grocery line on a weekday morning…

You ask AI a simple question. Can I take this medicine with that one? And what comes back is four paragraphs about how it’s not a doctor, and how everybody’s different, and how you should really consult a professional, and how it can’t give medical advice, and how there are many factors involved. Somewhere down…

There is an old problem in security work that has nothing to do with computers. You can check every man who comes through the gate. Badge, name, company, signature in the book. You can do it perfectly, every day, for twenty years. And then one afternoon a man with a good badge hands the foreman…

Ask the machine what it thinks of your idea. It thinks your idea is great. Ask it tomorrow with the opposite idea. That one’s great too. You notice it after a while. It never once told you no. It never said hold on. It never said that part right there won’t work. And then you…
