  • I had a kind of friend, late friend, he was a senior. Very old school. Whenever there was a difficult issue to solve he would sink into this kind of meditative state of mind, where he would just stare for a long time ruminating. You couldn’t speak to him really. I mean he would still hear you, but not react or answer. Eventually he snapped out after a good while and reliably always came up with a hilariously good solution. And then afterwards answer whatever else you said while he was “off”. Miss him sometimes, great to work with. Incomparable to LLMs. I can see the hype calming down in a few years though, being a little optimistic.

    The whole AI scam has always been the techbro CEOs snatching the money from the non-techbro CEOs. Me or you as a private person was never the direct aim. . . . General artificial intelligence will not come. We don’t even have artificial intelligence yet. The terms artificial and intelligence contradict themselves. It’s an oxymoron. It’s still just machines that learn shit without body and soul…


  • The European banking system already switched to immediate payment via classic bank wire transfer including realtime validation. That renders PayPal, Wero and whatever else useless, at least within most of the EU. It is one of the best things they did. You can buy a car and send the amount in realtime while both parties are watching their accounts to crosscheck and validate. The EU is able to do good. The only advantage of PayPal left over is buyer protection in international trade.
