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.
- Fable, Mythos, And The AI Drawbridge Built For The Rich
Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos shutdown shows how smart AI is sold as abundance, then guarded like a private weapon for governments, billionaires and capital. - AI Will Fail, and Other Prayers from the Comment SectionAI denial, job panic and digital messiahs, with human-made pride cheering while algorithms quietly steer the future from the feed. Humans still own the mess.
- Instant AI Answers Are Not a Homework Revolution, SorryAI can help teenagers think better, but instant answers without reasoning risk turning learning into a copy-paste ritual with a glowing progress bar. Seriously.
- The AGI Dream Forgot Its Own Code Review Checklist AgainAI companies chase AGI while coding agents still need checklists, tests and human review. A dry roast of model memory, Codex and brittle code trust now.
- Elon Musk And The First Trillion-Dollar Worship MachineElon Musk reaches trillionaire status in dollars, while leadership worship asks the public to clap, ignore the politics and stop counting the bill again.
- The Factory That Watched Waste While Robots Took ClientsA dry sense check on factories delaying machinery fixes while AI, robots and better capital planning turn waste into lost clients and lost leverage fast.
- The Office Helper Who Built The System Then Got BenchedA dry sense check on helping the office, automating dull work, then being reminded you are still borrowed labour in the company machine after all, again.
- Disclosure Day: Spielberg’s Alien Truth Meets Numb EyesSpielberg brings classic alien wonder to IMAX, but Disclosure Day forgets a public trained by war, phones and conspiracy feeds to feel nothing.
- David Hockney Painted Before The Applause Got OrganisedDavid Hockney’s death at 88 shows the rare mercy of living recognition: colour, courage, money, public love and applause before the archive took over.
