Big Brother. Thought Police. Doublespeak.

War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.

An indelible part of the 21st century social fabric and geopolitical reality, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four has gifted our culture these (now fundamental) concepts and much more. Completed in 1948 and first published mid-1949, the public recognized the book’s biting satire of malignant bureaucracy and totalitarian overreach immediately. Part cautionary warning and part pitch-black absurdist autobiography, Orwell’s gritty alarm now rings more relevant than perhaps ever before.

Presented with the full, uncensored and unabridged 1949 text, a foreword by 1984 (the film) co-producer Al Clark, a comprehensive and illustrated introduction that situates the book in Orwell’s personal circumstances and the broader political and social framework with other key texts and notable additions.

Nineteen Eighty-Four: The Definitive Edition.

Sample PDF: 50/338 pages.

AI arrives…. ChatGPT trained on Distant Mirror titles is ready to talk.

Here’s an AI experiment. I’ve trained AI (specifically, ChatGPT and a database index on a platform called Pinecone…) on the complete contents of five books on the Distant Mirror site. One each book’s page, there is a chatbot plugin which can, in theory, discuss anything to do with the book. My testing so far is that the AI does an outstanding job – it understands the contents of the books, [...]
An experiment: comparing 6 LLMs for prompt creation, and some of the usual image creators for prompt adherence and comprehension.

I am going to give six leading LLMs the same instruction to create a prompt. Then I am going to feed the various prompts to some of the most popular image creators, and post the results below. There are two things being tested here: first, the ability of various AIs to come up with creative and useful prompts; and then we are going to see how the various image creation [...]
A question to ChatGPT

Here is a question which I posted on X, and then decided to ask ChatGPT: Throughout history, rarity has driven value. The wealthy became patrons of unique art, music, and culture—think Renaissance art or the Church’s role in the Middle Ages. Scarcity made creativity precious and sought after. Today, we live in a world where music, art, and even writing are no longer rare. Thanks to AI, anyone can create [...]

David Major Louis Pasteur, a vaccine, and fake numbers; a familiar tale

Some creative number-crunching that worked like a charm in the 1880s is being used again. When his new rabies vaccine was killing too many people, Louis Pasteur moved the goalposts, by declaring that for 15 days after being injected, people were counted as ‘unvaccinated’; thus removing an important subset of cases from the statistics. The same trick is being played out today, allowing the myth of the ‘epidemic of the [...]
