Get Your Authoritarian and Totalitarian Dogs off My Yard!

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

Bandoxa, Wednesday 14 January 2026

Our service provider OpenAI could not process my prompt due to a moderation system. Please try to rephrase it changing potentially problematic words and try again. What a pile of dreck!

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,  oh boy, what a title! The minutes resemble the most boring bar mitzvah planning committee meeting in known history. Instead of arguing over chopped liver versus sushi and bara brith, they’re plotting to control the entire planet. And the punchline? It’s fake. A total forgery. A hoax so clumsy it makes a three-euro bill look like the genuine article. Yet this thing refuses to die. It’s like an unfortunate relative who keeps showing up at Thanksgiving with the same tired stories.

The Universal Compass: Why Morality Transcends the Partisan Divide (With a Touch of Martyn Jones’s Slow-Burn Scepticism and a Proper Welsh Understated Grin)

Look, I’m not saying I’ve cracked the code to world peace or anything daft like that. However, morality, ethics, values, and principles don’t belong just to one side of the political spectrum. They’re not strictly red or blue. They’re like that jumper your mam keeps in the drawer ”just in case.” It’s full of holes and a bit faded. It smells faintly of mothballs. But it still does the job whoever’s wearing it. And if it doesn’t quite fit, well, there’s always room to stretch it a bit.

AI’s Red Flags – His Master’s Voice

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

Bandoxa, Tuesday 13th January 2026

Read my absolutely fabulous books: http://www.goodstrat.com/books

As we settle into 2026, artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic promise. It is embedded infrastructure. It powers everything from enterprise workflows and personal assistants to autonomous agents that act on our behalf. Yet with greater capability comes greater exposure. The biggest red flags this year are not hypothetical doomsday scenarios. They are already materialising in boardrooms. They are visible in cybersecurity dashboards, consumer wallets, and regulatory filings. Here are the most pressing warning signs to watch in 2026. These are drawn from industry reports. They originate from expert predictions. Emerging incident patterns also highlight them.

The GigaOm Data Lake Report

Nonsense on parade

Martyn Rhisiart Jones

Madrid, Tuesday 13th January 2026

This GigaOm report is a classic vendor-sponsored benchmark. Fivetran picked the competitors and shaped the test scope. GigaOm (as explicitly disclosed) executed it “as-is” with “compatible configurations subject to judgment.” It’s marketing material presented as independent research. It has several structural weaknesses. These weaknesses make the 77–95% cost savings claim highly misleading for most real organisations.

1. It only measures ingestion compute, not true TCO.

The report repeatedly calls itself a “TCO report,” but it explicitly excludes:

The Skunkworks Collective – Martyn, Alba, Afi, Lila, and Coco

Madrid, Wednesday 14th January 2026

Right, listen. If you’ve ever sat through one of those AI conferences, you know the ones. Some bloke in a black polo neck stands on stage. He’s clearly never met a mirror he didn’t like. He says, “We’re on the cusp of AGI.” It sounds as if he’s just invented gravity. Then you’ll know the particular flavour of despair I’m talking about.

As we venture further into 2026, the landscape of enterprise artificial intelligence has undergone a subtle but profound shift. The once-dazzling promise of autonomous AI agents has matured into something more prosaic. These self-directed digital entities can orchestrate tasks from customer engagement to complex data integration. Yet, they are no less pervasive. They are no longer novelties confined to experimental labs; they inhabit boardrooms, back offices and supply chains alike.

Intro Before the Skinny

In the great digital echo chamber of 2026, every LinkedIn thought-leader is one prompt away from becoming an oracle. However, Martyn Jones (@GoodStratDotCom on X) stands apart. He is a one-man insurgency armed with footnotes, fury, and an almost indecent amount of clarity.

Introduction to the Collected Reviews of Martyn Jones

In an age awash with earnest manifestos, sanctimonious tech tomes, and the relentless hum of corporate orthodoxy, Martyn Jones arrives. He comes like a gleeful heretic at the cathedral door. He is armed with profanity and philosophical bite. He also has an irrepressible instinct for the absurd.

The Toll of Innocence: Child Fatalities in the Shadow of Conflict – A Tribute to my marvellous Welsh Grans

Sir Afilonius Rex and Good Strat Contributors

Madrid, Sunday 11 January 2026

NB Our service provider OpenAI could not process our prompt due to a moderation system. We have been asked to rephrase it, changing potentially problematic words, and try again. This is censorship at its crudest. They can of course go **** themselves.

My Gran had a stock response to expressions of racism, prejudice, and xenophobia in her presence. It was invariably, “We are all God’s children.” She loved all children, everywhere.

Let’s switch focus.

The Israel-Palestinian strife is unrelenting. It has now dragged into its third sinful, evil and merciless year. The true measure of this catastrophe is not land seized. It is not the strategies pursued. It is the stolen futures of innocent children. These are not mere statistics; they are lives extinguished, dreams crushed, families shattered forever. We face the human abyss of global crises. The cold data from UN agencies demands our moral outrage. It calls for urgent action.
