The Eternal Now
"Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside." William S. Burroughs If "Man" (non-generative) exists, Man is just an animal.
If I Click On That... I Will Be Punished
The other day, I saw a story pop up on my newsfeed about a controversial film that was recently released. I will not tell you the name of the film, as that might color the way you read this article. Besides, it is not important. The important thing is that I wanted to learn more about it, but I hesitated to press the link. If I pressed that link, my preferences would be changed and I would get hordes of stories of a similar nature.

The Little Coffee Shoppe at the End of the World
It's a one-man job these days. The cafe never closes, but I try to be in the shop nine to five. Seems only proper. You still need a human hand sometimes - a filter gets jammed in the drip machine, the cashier needs an authorization code, a skimmer biffs a handoff and I'll chase it down the street to safely deposit the missing coffee in its basket. Besides, I like our regulars, the ones who still come in with their trusty travel mugs and want a kind greeting to go with their latte.
AI, psychopathy and success
In the popular imagination a psychopath is a cruel and manipulative murderer, one who is cool, unfeeling and calculating in his desire to inflict suffering and pain. Characters like Hannibal the Cannibal spring to mind, or the real life American serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Yet not all psychopaths are killers, nor indeed violent offenders of any kind. Which is just as well when it has been estimated that between 1% and 4.5% of the general population qualify as psychopathic (Bing AI search result).

Rise High
This is me and this is my pod. It is a good pod. It’s got everything I need, and I changed its colour the other day so it’s fashionable now. I chose the shades sunflower, daffodil, dandelion, mango, bumblebee, canary, lemon and creamy corn. All of those words I mentioned just now might sound silly and made-up, but they’re actually types of yellow.

Great Green, Little Green
Cape Green Few things in this world are truly exceptional. One of them is undoubtedly sunset over an archipelago in the middle of the ocean… and Cabo Verde, off the Green Cape peninsula of Dakar in former Senegal, checked all the boxes. However, only those who flew low-altitude with a heliocopter or a small hydrogen plane get the best view: not quite as low on the horizon as a ship, not as high as a fusion craft. Unfortunately, even in 2114 flying private on anything other than a jetpack was still pretty exclusive, which is why two night workers on the oil mega rig of the Russian corporation SeaBear, had the ideal location to witness the show, sitting in the control room of the highest tower of the platform. Dishearteningly, instead of taking advantage of the free entertainment, their faces were glued to the metavision, watching random news broadcasted live from their home nation.

Hyperborea
Denial - Norway When Karl steps off the plane, the thin layer of frost under his feet cracks. The weather is eerily merciful, the midnight sun is right above the horizon, but honestly, he has no idea if it’s rising or setting. The smell of pastries, smoked salmon and caramelized onions from the skyport cafes mixes with the metallic rotten cabbage smell of hydrogen and ozone from refilling and sterilizing. His 16 years old daughter stands behind him, fiddling with the copper extensions of her braids as she impatiently waits in line to exit the Boreali hydrojet.
