What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering. What if we made all advertising illegal? It's such a wild idea that I've never heard it in the public discourse. Even saying it seems so far outside the Overton window that it makes nuking hurricanes sound reasonable (as some politicians proposed). But why? It makes perfect sense. The financial incentives t

Punishing bad behavior can often backfire. That's what OpenAI researchers recently found out when they tried to discipline their frontier AI model for lying and cheating: instead of changing its ways for the better, the AI model simply became more adept at hiding its deceptive practices. The findings, published in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper, are the latest to highlight the proclivity of large language models, especially ones with reasoning capabilities, for fibbing, in what remains one of

Most readers come away from George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984 with the same singular desire: to inhabit the world of the book by playing a late '90s first-person puzzle-adventure PC game that includes a "zero-g training sphere" for some reason. In 1998, publisher MediaX set out to satisfy that widespread literary desire with Big Brother, an officially licensed "sequel" game set in the 1984 universe.
