About ai… I can’t explain this to a computer
Comments / Sharing: About ai… I can’t explain this to a computerAs about ai… To be honest I barely use it, although of course as a computers fan I know tech news well and have tried almost everything.
The thing is, I express not the emotions of a computer but my own. I feel… these things can’t be expressed in words. Words are another level. Can you translate music into words? Then why do you want to hear it?
To do what I must do, I need to try different notes, different pieces, to feel the final result — that yes, it is it, that it solidifies and affirms my feeling, my emotion, my way there. Experience and tryings.
It’s hard to explain this to a computer; it’s way too abstract and complicated to be just a couple of prompts.
Image Source In this regard, I would prefer a wider variety of sound synthesizers and image effects over direct artificial generators.
The same goes for texts and thoughts… a computer cannot express my thoughts, my view and understanding of the world, my perspective.
So far, the only place where I use neural networks is for correcting the grammar of my imperfect English…

First Impression
Comments / Sharing: First ImpressionA quick way to decide if something’s aesthetically good or bad is by catching your very first, raw reaction. It’s about that initial, unfiltered sensation before your thoughts color it. This method helps sift through noise and get to the essence.

The larger the crowd, the dumber it gets
Comments / Sharing: The larger the crowd, the dumber it getsDemocracy… sooner or later, the crowd will elect a complete fool to lead… reflection.
The larger the crowd, the dumber it gets; the bigger the state, the more prone it is to mistakes and deception.
Leadership is better entrusted to the best people with experience, the most honest and intelligent, with an unconditionally clean reputation.
But the essence lies in size—small communities are more stable than large ones.
Redistribution of responsibility and loss of signal…
With the human as we used to know, any large country is, by definition, prone to collapse.
In the end, small structures will prevail, where the head of the community answers directly to the people who are nearby.
The fragmentation of countries into smaller entities is inevitable.

Survival is stability
Comments / Sharing: Survival is stabilityThe secret to success in both evolution and survival is stability.
This is why forming prohibitive measures is less effective than adopting an open and positive approach, as maintaining prohibitions can lead to exhaustion over time.
Good scenario when you suggest nice and healthy alternative instead of prohibiting something.

When a large monopoly is formed
Comments / Sharing: When a large monopoly is formedPeople use big tech monopolists not because of their quality, but primarily because of their monopoly.
When a large monopoly is formed, ideally, it should be divided into a universally accessible and neutral service, similar to a library or basic healthcare in developed countries.

Intervals
Comments / Sharing: IntervalsIn the nineties, the world basked in prosperity, but now we find ourselves amidst a deepening recession.
The cycles in life imply that prosperity will return, only to be followed by another downturn.
These recessions are not merely periods of hardship but serve as vital intervals for accumulating strength, paving the way for dynamic renewal and introspective reevaluation.
Through these ebbs and flows, we undergo a process of profound reflection and purification.

Limit
Comments / Sharing: LimitBy default the internet constantly keeps you in tension. Too much noise.
One can’t focus deeply while in tension because real signals come with some space around them. Watch the dosage.

It’s not the theory of the dying Internet
Comments / Sharing: It’s not the theory of the dying InternetIt’s not the theory of the dying Internet but the demise of individual corporate giants that grew excessively and at any cost, leading to their downfall. Refer to the death of these overgrown players instead
Despite the challenges, people will continue to rely on the Internet and adapt to its ever-changing landscape.

Style… Understanding what’s achieved
Comments / Sharing: Style… Understanding what’s achievedSpeaking about creation of art, very often you have to create something modern and awesome, not just in the way you like it… it’s a subtle issue… to achieve something truly cool, you must also comprehend objective reality, not just what’s in your head… something like that.
For example, in fashion, not just some random crap your brain said you somehow but filtered at the peak of what is acceptable and balanced.
By harshly removing all unnecessary elements, a solid foundation will expand

Helpless, bandit, intelligent and stupid
Comments / Sharing: Helpless, bandit, intelligent and stupid“Cipolla divides people into four categories: helpless, bandit, intelligent and stupid.
In any normal interaction between two people, he contends, the helpless person suffers a loss while the other gains.
The bandit exacts a benefit while levying a loss on the other.
The intelligent person gains while enabling the other person also to gain.
The defining trait of the stupid person is that he gains nothing while obliging the other to take a loss.” – wsj.com
