Tech vs Nature - Are They Really Opposites?
The concepts of nature and technology are central to human life. But how should we look at them?

I've started a newsletter 😱
The first edition sets up how I aim to discuss new perspectives on how to rethink our relationships to both tech and nature.

What's 'social' about such media?
It's just another content slop farm. Tech CEOs seem to have forgotten what made people join social media platforms in the first place. Human connection and "I wanna see what everyone else" is up to.

AI image generation has made stock images kind of classy. When I see images on a blog or linkedin post now and it's a stock image I think:"Wow, you invested some time looking for an image that suits your content, and didn’t just generate a weird looking yellow stained image with misspelled words."

I love to go to Chat GPT 5 with its alleged “PhD level expertise” and an ask it about my MA thesis work and see that it really cannot do that level of academic work whatever. It can do a SIMULACRUM of that work, which might fool you if you did not have any expertise.

I'm seeing a lot of "not only, but" sentences in reports lately. Often repetitively in every bloody paragraph.

OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a vulgar display of power.
