Can’t tech a joke: AI does not understand puns, study finds


Researchers say results underline large language models’ poor grasp of humour, empathy and cultural nuance.

Humor requires actual intelligence, not merely pattern matching.

I wish people understood that, despite the name, Artificial Intelligence is no smarter than a literal box of rocks. It's pattern recognition and scripting.

My wife and I got this retired rental van incredibly cheaply at auction when a company which rented them out went bust. It has travelled a mere 338k miles / 544k km 😁 I'll generally just keep mention of it to my website, but it's been a lot of fun doing a low budget interior remodel – and we just finished our first little test trip, to Point Reyes. Mostly I just like that it's cheerful. It was painted by an artist in LA named Haste.

Cosplayer at #autumn #Toguchi #cosplay #festival (November 16th, 2025). Supposedly Mizi from “Alien Stage” animation series.

The image shows a young woman in a cosplay costume, likely at a convention or event. The scene is somewhat blurred, with a shallow depth of field that emphasizes the woman as the primary subject. The young woman has dark hair, styled in a short, choppy bob. Some strands fall forward, partially covering her face. Her skin tone appears pale, and she has dark, expressive eyes. She is looking directly at the camera with a slightly serious expression. She is wearing a dark blue velvet off-the-shoulder dress. A black glove is covering her left hand, and she is also wearing a large, dark blue, possibly crystal, pendant. Her head is turned slightly to the side, and she has a hand gently covering her mouth. The background is blurred and dark, with indistinct shapes and colors. There are what appear to be circular lights, possibly from stage lighting or decorations, visible in the upper right corner. Some people can be seen in the blurred background.

Big tech is gambling the economy on AI… and wants a bailout for it


SoSoTheDestroyer : This is my dissection of the AI bubble, including why it's more fragile than most people think it is and why we might be headed for another financial crisis. Oh, and the billionaires want a bailout, because of course they do.


Sources Sited In This Piece

An Astute Summary By One of the Commenters on the Video:

"Remember, that the reason RAM prices have gone up such a large percent is because a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to be put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't all been built yet, powered by infrastructure that cannot support it sustainably, to satisfy a demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible."

The deliberate conscious effort that we humans require to do anything, like make art or write an academic paper, has been belittled and glossed over.

Instead results are glamorously prized as the product of success, and the amount of effort that it took to get there is hidden away in shame.

AI is the obscene extreme to that mentality: not more thinking, effort, work, anything— get the result now. While it was that exact effort that made us human in the first place.

New bio just dropped
A photo of a zoo exhibit. It lists that the animal’s prey is “mainly flying insects” but below that is the focal point of the photo. The sign risks this animal’s risk to humans as “Rarely bite and quite useless off the web”. The animal described is not listed in the photo, but it’s a large spider in the London Zoo’s walkthrough spider enclosure.
