  • Bought to you by:

    • The 50’s, where every utensil from car to ovens will have it’s own nuclear reactor in the future
    • The 60’s, where Mankind soon will travel through starsystems and vacations on the moon are possible
    • The 70’s, where people thought that in a few years Neutron-Brains will be created that work just like the human brain
    • The 80’s, where it was said that in the year 2000 we will have flying cars and hoverboards
    • The 90’s, where the internet took off and soon nobody will ever send letters again
    • The 00’s, that soon self driving cars will take over all transport business
    • The 10’s, where a magical working all-knowing Siri/Alexa/Cortana voice will be the way people will interact with at home and on the go
    • Now the 20’s, where AI will be able to recreate talent and come up with genuine new ideas never before seen by mankind

    I do not think AI can recreate talent or art. AI can imitate art and copy already existing art and melt it to something new. But an Artist-AI can not take two noses of coke, one bottle of vodka and come up with a novel new concept of creative work. Sure it will come up with things never seen before, but will it resonate with people or will it just be weird, quirky or empty? It is not enough to render an image of a diamond skull, you actually have to build it like Damien Hirst. Artist of the type of Banksy, Dali and Francis Bacon will not get replaced by AI. AI will not stand in the streets spraying walls, AI will not get off board off a ship in New York holding a human-long bread and AI will certainly not be able to draw triptychs of pain and suffering based on the death of his friend. AI will copy something that looks like it, but it will not have the “Talent” or the depth to make it believable and knit a story around it and know the people to communicate to. It most certainly will be used to subvert people on social media to vote against their interests and radicalize opinions. That is it’s talent.




  • He did a piss poor job of being a leader. Imagine you are 20 years in your dictatorship and the country is in the condition russia is right now. He could have done sooo much more. He could have been a beacon of light. But he chooses to be a pile of shit. So when ever he seems others struggling, he will add oil to the fire to make them more miserable. He can not stand how every other country around him progressed and grew and was successful, but he was not able to because of his bad leadership. He will drag down everyone around him, so nobody can see how low he is. It is a distraction at this point. If he can not be a successful and loved leader, nobody should. The russian way to deal with complexes. And Trump is the same. They love destroying things if they can not get praise for their low efforts.







  • Trump was a wakeup call for me back then. As a teenager in the 90s I always thought that the US has a robust democratic system with a strong militaristic core/underbelly/deepstate that would never compromise the stand of the US. I thought that some three letter agency would always have a plan for everything already drawn up and that action behind the scenes would be taken to ensure the stability and actionability of the states by always being one step ahead of the adversary. For the first Trump year I thought it would be a controlled trick of one of the agencies to trick china/russia into a trap. It must be. The US killed people in other countries around the world to make the US get out on top. No way that bought ads on Facebook can get unrecognized by these agencies to subvert millions.

    My worldview about the US today is absolutely shattered. I do not believe that any three letter agency in the US is capable of steering or controlling anything. That Russia and China are able to influence so many people without any agency confronting these efforts was a wake up call for me. And that there is a chance that trump might have a second term is downright devastating for my assurance in the US. As a child I thought about moving to the US one day. I would have taken the risk of getting shot or struggling with bad healthcare. But now that the believe in the protective stable leading system is gone… what is left? Unleashed capitalism and rampant racism? I can find this everywhere in the world.

    My personal american dream is long over.


  • I can only see three incidents with 787 on wikipedia:

    • 2013 Boeing 787 Dreamliner grounding
    • 2024 TCAS incident over Somalia
    • LATAM Airlines Flight 800

    This does not looks like a repeating pattern. The Flight 800 was a 300ft drop midair with around 30 to 40 people hitting the ceiling of the cabin and landing in Auckland without further problems. This does not sound 787 related. Just keep your seatbelts on.

    The 2024 TCAS incident reads like a near collision based on miscommunication by air traffic control. Not related to the 787 series.

    And well the 2013 787 grounding was based on lithium-ion batteries problems and has now been fixed (?).

    I would say relax and keep your seatbelts buckled (disregarding what airframe you are on).
