The Modern Hermit

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.
- Brexit at 10: Britain Left Europe and Met the Customs Wall
Ten years after the Brexit vote, Britain has more borders, weaker trade, less movement and a denial industry still selling sovereignty by the kilo now. - Ice Cream Heat Policy For Britain’s Sweating Workers Now
Free ice cream is not a workplace heat policy. UK summers are getting hotter, while some employers still treat proper cooling as a treat, not safety or law. - Toy Story 5: The Big Screen Funeral For The Toy Box AgeToy Story 5 turns toys versus tech into a glossy family sermon, half playtime, half warning label for talking screens, AI friends and fading toy boxes.
- Workplace Respect Begins With Paying Every Minute WorkedWorkplace respect starts with paying every minute worked, protecting real breaks, fair overtime, and refusing to make workers donate unpaid time to profit.
- When One Song Without Hijab Becomes a Full Regime Panic
Iran’s reported sentence against Parastoo Ahmadi shows how authoritarian morality turns a song into a crime, then calls the whip public order today. Again. - AGI Dreams, Spreadsheet Factories And Safety Glasses RuleAI firms chase AGI while factories still copy software onto whiteboards, Excel sheets and emails, then call burnt-out workers weak when the line snaps.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fable, Mythos, And The AI Drawbridge Built For The RichAnthropic’s Fable and Mythos shutdown shows how smart AI is sold as abundance, then guarded like a private weapon for governments, billionaires and capital.
