AutoDescriptor: Added page description via AutoDescriptor bot One of the little fun things I like to do is ask ChatGPT for an infographic on something I want to know. Past image creators would struggle, so I wouldn't ask for an...
I've seen three blog posts about this in my feeds today, and it's notable that so far everybody avoids openly sharing that they blog. I do share it when it's relevant, but thinking about this made me realize that I feel silly saying the...
This is another rather personal post that doesn’t really bring any tips or solutions or whatever, just rambling about myself yet again. I often call myself an introvert, and due to yesterday’s post, I got some helpful feedback, advice...
The state, you, and I decide what we think, and there is no choice on the matter. We do not recognize the gravity of irregularities, whilst on a steep hill, ignorant of the nearing underside of a snowball. Conditioned. Open wide another...
The joy of exploring a city with friends — of getting lost and finding your sense of place again, of laughing under the moon and discussing the rainbows we see when we look at light; of discussing the cuisine of Germany in a warmly lit...
I have never come across a book so hard to classify before. Firstly, this book is beautifully written; a triumph for a first person point of view. Piranesi (the character) is kooky enough that effulgent and flowery prose is not...
There are two options. One is that AI makes the pie bigger and everyone gets richer. That is, firms pay AI service providers $2 trillion/year because AI makes them more productive and therefore more profitable. Unfortunately, as far as...
En general podría decir que me ha gustado la película, pero quizá me resulte demasiado surrealista como para haberla terminado de entender (dentro de lo que hay que entender una película de este corte). Ha habido momentos más de...

Check out As in guillotine... for more. NOTE: The idea that everything you’ve written can be digested and repackaged by an AI tool to generate “insights” “from” your “perspective” for someone else was disturbing until I also realized...
Consciousness. I know I have it, but have no idea what it is or where it comes from (nor does anyone else, whatever they may say). I am equally sure that I have a soul, but again have no idea what it is or where it comes from. Are...

One of my personal rules for social media is that I only use the web version of sites. The web version is better for privacy, far less addictive, and makes my phone less bloated. In the last few days, Reddit added a great new feature to...

We place life’s bets by countless calculations of probability, conscious and unconscious, only to discover over and over how short they fall of the wildest reaches of the possible, which always includes but exceeds the probable. It helps...
April 2026. Saltburn-by-the-Sea. I visited the Cleveland coast in last weekend’s heatwave, or at least that’s what it felt like with the radiant heat stronger than the air temperature. My irritating 3pm GBG opener (go on, guess what it...

Când am început cu blogul, în jurul anului 2005, le-am spus multor oameni că scriu pe un blog și l-am promovat peste tot unde am putut. Mulți ani am făcut asta cu mai multe domenii pe care am avut bloguri. Acum, în viața reală, nu mai...
