  • Watch: Mrs. Davis (Amazon Prime)

    Mrs. Davis was an Amazon suggestion for me. Usually, I ignore these, but the synopsis intrigued me: a nun fighting an AI. Having grown up in a Christian household—and as a fan of Warrior Nun (and still active church member)—I like those fantasy stories derived from the stories told in the Bible.

  • Discover: Arc Browser (MacOS/iOS)

    Over the last 25 years, I’ve used many browsers across different operating systems. However, given that the online world is now largely cloud-based, I prefer a browser that works seamlessly across all my devices rather than dedicated software on each one. Since Apple allows users to set their default browser on iOS, I’ve realized that…

  • Learn: Generative AI in Meta – well, sh*t!

    What could possibly go wrong? AI in the hands of a multinational private company with unique global market power? No, I don’t see any problems here. What’s next? A shady billionaire with questionable values, and a global satellite network in the government of one of the most powerful nations in the world? Okay, irony off.…

  • Hear: The Lemon Twigs – A dream is all we know

    While I am still amazed by the possibilities of music AI’s (udio, suno, riffusion, etc.) these days, the new (never heard of them) album of The Lemon Twigs is out. The 12 track release covers me in a strange plaid of melancholy, and I feel torn. On the one hand, I’ve always loved when old…

  • Learn: AI has RISEN

    Ok, this post might get a bit longer than usual because it’s kind of a tutorial about using AI. I’ve already shared some posts about using different AI tools in my daily life. But to really get a great result, pros – so-called prompt engineers – follow the RISEN framework to get the best specific…

  • Discover: The Simpsons in the 1950s Panavision 70 Style

    Super Panavision 70 was a widescreen film format developed in the 1950s by Panavision. It offered a combination of technical advantages and aesthetic qualities that set it apart from other film technologies of the 1950s, contributing to its enduring legacy in the history of cinema.

  • Learn: Music industry kills the artists

    Today, I read on Billy Caso’s Instagram that Spotify is updating its terms and conditions for artists. This update allows Spotify, a.k.a. the music industry, to legally modify the music and include it in AI training. Given the current capabilities of AI—such as those demonstrated by udio.com and suno.com—it leads to the conclusion that Spotify…

  • Discover: Udio

    Within the last year, AI has become a more tangible part of my everyday life. I use ChatGPT or Gemini to help me with captions for social media posts, to add emojis, for translations, to create song lyrics, and even for dinner recipes. I also utilize generative fills and AI-based picture creation, among other things.…
