weird mix of film photography & takes on AI & politics
~ a very gay alderman in a district of Budapest, Hungary
~ MA grad in Communication for Development
Disinformation is nothing new - throughout our history, some always benefitted from decieving the masses.

Each invention made that easier, and AI supercharges that. The Age of Deepfakes is upon us, and the potential harm to our democracies is severe.

AI’s Role in Political Manipulation
Deepfakes can hijack elections, sow doubt, and let liars walk free. Here’s how AI is rewriting political playbooks, and how we could fight back.

AI judges, AI soldiers, AI caregivers. The moral dilemmas are no longer sci-fi.

Can we program morality into machines? Or will AI always reflect our own biases?

New piece up on my Substack diving into the ethics of AI. Would love to hear your take!

Read below!

Tech Giants Keep Promising Ethical AI – Should we believe them?

First, the subservient google robots said they would not rename the Gulf of Mexico for non-US users.

Few days later - voilá, my Hungarian map shows google decided to be Trump's bitch globally.

A short article to remember the darkest days of the 20th century. We must pass on the torch so we can prevent the cogs of history from repeating itself.

I have decided to try and limit my screen time in 2025, as I am easily spending over 12 hours a day in front screens.

So - my first impulse buy of the year is... ten books!

The first truely shitty thing of 2025: #Meta & their attempt to rewrite the global definition of free speech and hate speech.

We know politicians' hateful attitude causes a rise of hate crime.

What should YOU do? Call your MP/MEP and tell them - wake up and legislate against that.

Sidenote: The revolving door of politics and social media policies
On the backwater of a right-wing shift in US politics, Meta changed what free-speech is for its global audience.

Let's talk #AI

It affects you: in lending, healthcare outcomes, policing, and if you are creating #art even in your intellectual property. The lack of global ethical guidelines for development is a warning sign.

In this post, I am writing about the issues and the possible solutions w/ regulation.
The muddy waters of AI regulation - Artificial Inequality
AI already impacts your life more than you realise. How can we guarantee its development is ethical, sustainable, and ensures safety for all?

Midnight thoughts: Can we normalise using 'an oopsie' in academic style?

I am currently writing a piece on AI regulation and it's all doom-and-gloom with existential threats & I'd really appreciate if I could sprinkle an uplifting 'an oopsie that caused human extinction' in there.

that fealing when you get back your slide film scans after 3.5 weeks only to find out that your lab forgot to push it, and your arctic pics now look like one underexposed mess.
