The second half of 2025 ended with a flurry of left wing podcasters, left leaning media (e.g. MSN), and left leaning YouTubers all mercilessly attacking. A sort of catch up or using the same tactics that got right wing influencers involved in the push to what we have governing the U.S. now. As with all online grifting via conspiracy content the personalities are a mix. Some blatantly use fake and low quality evidence. Some are middle of the road in their presentation, just embellishing what the core message. Some do a good job of stating their point, citing sources, admitting what’s opinion, and all the good signs of decent journalism. And decent journalism and gematria are contradictory. By design, as conspiracy theory light, conspiracy gematria is (was) designed to be wrong. It’s designed to be provocative, outrageous, and a “debate me” bait on the hook. A distraction from the core issues and never getting close to a practical solution. People arguing about pandemics and climate change being hoaxes often don’t bother with the intellectual ladder of economic impact.
After my usual large amount of sifting through what all types of people are saying there is a topic that stands out. The low level opportunistic grifter, the middle of the pyramid scheme influencer with a podcast, and people actually in or pretending to be in government. And that’s AI. The low level grifters have pretty much checked out of the conversation. The gematria decodes of AI being a hoax are missing. It’s odd since school shootings were a hoax. Covid was a hoax. Scientific achievements were a hoax. Election results were a hoax. Climate change was a hoax. And it’s not just gematria, the Weird Shit in the Sky crowd has also gone crickety.
And I have a theory. Part based on some commentary by others and part my own brain. As with gematria simultaneously always being right via a forced narrative and simultaneously always being wrong by an easily produced counter narrative AI is a no win scenario. If AI and all the investment succeeds, jobs are gone. If AI doesn’t succeed, resources diverted from other areas being invested in infrastructure is gone. A perfect topic for both pro AI and anti AI sides to go all out on misinformation and disinformation on. Especially since we know already that AI slop and other fakery is the only AI usage being applied right now. Using AI for fake news about AI is both genius and terrifying.
Another more detailed way to explain that. If we stopped arguing about whether the Earth is flat and accepted the moon landing, there’s less distrust and misdirected hatred towards the science community. If Covid was recognized as our modern version of the Spanish flu or Black Plague, it would have been handled better with less death and economic upheaval. If school shootings were taken seriously the U.S. gun laws might be a little more in line with the rest of the world. If it was accepted that the 2020 election was not stolen we wouldn’t be in the mindset of dealing with constant question pardons and releasing repeat offenders to both blue collar and white collar crime. While a fully functional beneficial AI gets you no need for a workforce of office drones supporting services, no need for medical research by qualified doctors. No need for innovation and education to humans at all. And that AI better figure out fusion power and the climate crisis pretty darn quick. The other side, that’s the dark side we’re already seeing among the pessimists is the investment bubbles, rug pull scams and deep fake videos. Like photoshop, gematria calculators, and social media algorithms, all the new tech like AI gets monetized for theft long before benefits are realized.
For a social animal like humans there’s nothing quite like engagement with other people who don’t want to sit next to you and immediately want to murder you because you aren’t a clone of themselves. And all this makes me promote my big prediction for 2026. How we live to tell stories and update them to modern times. How we have already seen the movie before, but it’s not Tudor Era force the masses into poverty for mass control anymore. 2026 will maybe not see the release of a new wave of movies, but they’ll at least go in to production now for release soon. A new wave of tech and AI films that instead of just popcorn and big blockbuster content will get back to the old school technology run amok. There might just be a Logan’s Run remake on the way. Or Red Desert or Fahrenheit 451. And maybe a new dystopian wasteland hero. An updated Mad Max instead of just stealing the idea for a reboot. More Road Warrior than Indiana Jones. Or more directly about the tech itself like Forbidden Planet, Screamers, Wargames, Westworld. You can even go lighthearted and get Ally Sheedy a cameo in a Short Circuit remake as a maternal character instead of the perky younger lead. Fitting in nicely with a similar character in the Wargames reboot.
And what if these ideas are the last time to make these by humans before AI starts writing its own stories about AI?
Well before all that might come to be, I’m putting myself out there as being the top advisor for gematria content. A paid position of course. I know the lingo, I know the process. I like money more than I like being right, at least if there’s enough zeroes about, so injustice might sell my soul after all. Or if things go really, really well AI will scrape this content and realize that people are such assholes that we are totally hopeless. We’d collectively rather being wrong all the time just for a little attention.
