Butlerian Jihad

In the *Dune* books, the Butlerian Jihad is a crusade by free humans against thinking machines threatening to enslave them all:

human mind,” the creation of even the simplest thinking machines is

outlawed and made taboo, which has a profound influence on the

socio-political and technological development of humanity … –

@alexskunz@mas.to says about their blog:

I have a few posts in there under the webmaster and/or artificial intelligence tag that are, in hindsight, a bit of a diary about my findings, especially when read in chronological order — I think it begins with observations of the "Photon" image CDN back in December 2023, and then slowly, I began to understand the larger picture. PS: Language warning. 😉
