a blog post about the "resonant computing" """manifesto""" https://gameboat.bearblog.dev/the-resonant-computing-manifesto/
another mildly silly article about AI disinformation, but at least this one gives you something to think about https://gameboat.org/2025/04/17/another-mildly-silly-article-about-ai-disinformation-but-at-least-this-one-gives-you-something-to-think-about/
