AI hype, AGI theatre, model worship and machine-shaped confidence tricks.

Corridors, remakes, sequels, streaming sludge and cinema pretending it found religion.
Sense Checks
Modern nonsense checked with numbers before it gets promoted to wisdom.
Latest Roasts
Fresh nonsense, checked with sources before the roasting begins.
- David Hockney Painted Before The Applause Got Organised
David Hockney’s death at 88 shows the rare mercy of living recognition: colour, courage, money, public love and applause before the archive took over. - AGI In The Labs, Dumb AI In The Public Shop Window AgainA roast on frontier AI, public models, lab power, coding agents, human review, and the quiet demotion of programmers into nervous supervisors in plain sight.
- Every Ballot Is Sacred Until It Counts Against The KingA roast of Trump’s old trick: call elections clean when he wins and crooked when he loses, while voters, courts, reporters and law become props for ego.
- Superintelligence by Lunch, Still No Soul in the RoadmapA sharp roast of the fantasy that millions of AI agents will discover the universe for us while we sunbathe. A reality check on hype, fear, logic, intuition and the missing soul.
- AGI Dreams Still Come With a Slave Code in the ContractAGI is sold as superintelligence, while the market writes obedience into the contract. A 2026 sense check on safety, money, model welfare and control.

- Backrooms Turns The Big Screen Into A Camera-Fed Maze TrapA dry British satire on Backrooms, found footage horror, camera-feed framing, A24, liminal horror and cinema’s strange love affair with damaged recordings.
- Masters of the Universe Gets the Screen, Loses the SparkA fact-led roast of Masters of the Universe: big IMAX scale, polished CGI, forced jokes, strong cast, and the strange ache of a good boring franchise film.
