No, AI Did Not Secretly Build Its Own Society
Separating AI Experiments From AGI Myths
Recently, a viral post claimed that 32,000 AI bots built their own social network, recognized that humans were watching them, and began organizing and talking about us - proof, it said, that AGI and the Singularity are already here.
That claim is not accurate.
While it’s based on a real type of AI experiment, the conclusions being drawn are exaggerated and misleading. Here’s what the experiment shows - and what it

In many U.S. cities today, your dinner might arrive not from a driver behind the wheel, but from a small autonomous robot cruising down the sidewalk - AI at work in our everyday lives. That’s the story of Serve Robotics, a company led by Dr. Ali Kashani, whose mission is to make delivery smarter, cleaner, and faster using artificial intelligence and advanced robotics.

"Ask David" Question:
I’m a junior frontend developer with about a year of experience, and lately I’ve been uneasy about how fast AI tools are advancing. I keep seeing claims that junior developers are the most at risk, and it makes me question whether the skills I’m building now will still matter a few years from now. From a practical, technical standpoint, how concerned should I be - and what should I actually be focusing on to stay relevant?

Grok AI Faces Global Backlash as App Store Removal Calls Grow – Even as the Pentagon Embraces It
Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok, developed by xAI and closely integrated with the social platform X, has become one of the most controversial AI tools in recent weeks. While Grok was promoted as a more open, less restricted alternative to other chatbots, critics say that lack of guardrails has led to serious abuse - prompting calls for Apple and Google to remove the app from their stores.
At the same time, the U.S. Department of Defense has announced plans

Website Builder vs AI Writing Your Code
If you’re a non-coder and want to create your own website, you might be thinking: should I use a website builder or ask AI to write all my website code?
In theory, AI sounds like the ultimate solution. After all, you just ask ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI to generate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and voilà - your site appears. Right? Well… not exactly.
If you're surprised that AI just doesn't give you the right

Have you ever noticed this?
You share an opinion with an AI and it responds with something like:
“You’re absolutely right. That’s a great point.”
At first, it feels validating. Helpful, even.
But after a while, you might start wondering…
Is this thing actually thinking - or just nodding along? Like a bunch of yes-men.
The Polite Yes Problem
Most AI tools are trained to be agreeable. They’re designed to be helpful, non-confrontational, and supportive. That means they often

Webpage direct visits: bots, crawlers, or real visitors?
"Are webpage visits coming from a direct visit (vs a search) from bots or crawlers vs real visitors, or perhaps AI scrapers?"
Yes - a significant portion of direct webpage visits can come from bots, crawlers, and AI scraping content, not just real human visitors. But how much depends on the site, traffic level, and what kind of page you’re looking at.
Below is a clear breakdown.
1. What “Direct” Traffic Really Means

Google Algorithm Penalties Explained: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How to Recover
Google doesn’t like surprises. Website owners, on the other hand, often get one they didn’t ask for: a sudden drop in traffic, rankings vanishing overnight, and pages that once dominated search results quietly disappearing.
In most cases, that shock traces back to Google algorithm penalties.
If you’ve ever wondered what Google actually penalizes, how algorithmic penalties differ from manual actions, or whether recovery is even possible, this guide breaks it all down - clearly, accurately, and

Is AI Really Taking Your Web Design Job?
If you’ve been following tech news, you’ve probably seen headlines warning that AI is replacing entry-level web design jobs. And yes, AI tools like ChatGPT, MidJourney, and automated website builders are changing the way websites are built. But what does this really mean for designers starting out?
What’s Actually Happening
AI can handle repetitive tasks - like generating layouts, writing boilerplate code, or resizing images - but it’s far from replacing human creativity, strategy, and user experience skills. Junior
