AI Wrote a Headline So Stupid It Belongs Behind Glass
The week's dumbest AI artifact, bottled and labeled for the historians.
Some weeks the news writes the joke, lights its own cigarette, and saunters out before you can react. Marcus collects the freshest specimen in the genre of things that could only happen in a year this catastrophically dumb, the kind of artifact future historians will lift with tongs to explain whatever the hell we thought we were doing. The honest answer is that thinking played almost no role in any of it, and the receipts are sitting right there in the open. Marcus on peak 2026, at Substack.
