Part of me thinks "this is really cool, it's all moving really fast", but the other part of me thinks "this is moving too fast, aren't people missing something?". It feels like everyone's so desperate to c

My predictions for 10 - 15 years: - Mandela effect for famous art pieces: "Monalisa was AI generated" "No it wasn't" "Yes it was". - Art critics will get the last laugh, as people start giving them trucklo

Man, Pix doesn't get enough love honestly. A payment system that is so cheap (free), fast and intuitive that people use it as a messaging system (via transaction description field).

Would a government even want that? Not even from the moral stance, just the strategic point of view. We know from the social media experiment how bad things can go if you hook an entire population to some "product". Sure, you ca

I don't know. Freewill has been meaning less and less for me over the years. Right now I'm between "there is no freewill" and "there might some, but waaay less than we usually think there is. I'm no Zen monk, b

With enough data, you can model user behavior pretty accurately. But you can also use the same data to train models that generate valid user behavior patterns. The ad industry is very profitable, but it seems to hang in the balance. Ads are

That's what I was thinking. Whether a pornographic picture of me and a gorilla was made by photoshop or AI is irrelevant. People's reactions will be the same, and repercussions will be mostly the same (which doesn't means the

Is there an end to the Data Age ®? Sometimes I have this interesting thought, that someday, when even the oldest people alive will not know or will not remebered how things worked back then. Then someone, or a group of people, will suddenly

We sort of filter out bad memories and every time we reminisce about the past, it's always in a nostalgic and lighter note. I see a lot of people around 35+ remembering how things were better before social media. Things were better bec

Although I understand and agree with what people are pointing to here, it's too easy to get carried away with the "welcome to 1984" fatalism. Life does not have a "last page", like in a book. In a story, the last pa

As a marathon runner, I know TomTom mainly for its sports watches. But I feel they've been fading away slowly. Garmin is still the champion in that area, but both must be taking a hit with all the cheap chinese knock offs. At the end o

Food security always makes me think about food waste. When I was 17 years old I went to Sweden as part of a cultural exchange program (I'm from South America). One of the first things that shocked me was the sheer amount of food being
