The Modern Hermit

Film roasts, AI hype, streaming pain, public nonsense and modern-life absurdity, checked with sources and served dry.
Roast of the AI
AI hype, AGI theatre, model worship and machine-shaped confidence tricks.
Film Roasts
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.
- Maktub, AI, and the Strange New End of Human Error Control
Automation and AI promise fewer errors, less waste and better quality control, while humans still trip over destiny, attention and bad systems today. - Dictators Are Not Entertainment For Comfortable DemocraciesA fact-led roast on democracies treating dictators as theatre while North Koreans, Ukrainians and Gazans live with the price of power, bombs and silence.
- Political Creators Keep Preaching to the Converted FeedPolitical creators keep talking to people who already agree, then act shocked when untouched voters do exactly what their feed hid from them all month.
- Rights, Reality and the Third-Space Toilet War in Britain
EHRC guidance shows democracy doing dull but necessary work: sex-based spaces, trans rights and common sense forced into one locked cubicle of law and dignity. - The Payroll Trick Where Night Shift Rest Days Vanish QuietlyShift-pattern maths turns night work into a bargain for companies, while workers lose rest days, health, and taxable pay in quiet little cuts. Count it.
- AI Tools Need Better Questions Before Bigger Data FarmsAI tools burn tokens, energy and money by guessing first and asking later. Better questions beat bigger data centres and endless edit loops every time.
- AI Subscriptions And Their Great Feature Shrinking TrickAI firms sell bigger brains, then trim limits, features and patience. Users pay monthly while the model becomes a rented miracle with a small meter attached.
- Claude Praise And The Luxury AI Subscription Theatre ActClaude may code well, but the praise forgets image creation, voice, memory, language, limits and the quiet luxury tax on useful AI assistants right now.
- Perfect Crown And The Netizen Coronation Court MeltdownA dry sense check on Perfect Crown, historical accuracy, public apologies and the online habit of turning fiction into civic punishment for sport online.
