  • The difference is the intent and the background behind it.

    Sure for maximum mass adoption the computer can out-research any human and just find the blandest set of rules which cater to the highest percentage of the majority.

    What it still will have a hard time doing, and I predict it will be for quite some time - probably until we have quantum computers - is to come up with a new way of doing poetry which is not just copying what humans did but better.

    I think of AI like it’s China, they are super efficient in copeing things and gradually making them better and cheaper but the setup of their society makes it impossible to really innovate.

    And yeah I’m saying that it’s the setup, because in Taiwan they are able to innovate at a much higher rate.













  • After coming back from a year of parental leave I didn’t lose my job.

    My previous project came to an end just before I went on parental leave and the company couldn’t secure new projects locally.

    But because I was involved ipartially in a different department before, that department secured a internal budget for me as a Subject Matter Expert.

    Now I’m advising on that topic and was also brought in to a big internal project, so my job is secured for some time now.

    For me it’s extra difficult because I moved to a different country and have a really hard time learning the language, which is a must to get a different job here.



  • I’m born in Poland to Polish parents, but all their parents were born Germans. I moved to Germany when I was 11 and when someone asked me then I said I’m German. But then I moved to Sweden for 15 years, while there I would also say I’m German. I got the Swedish citizenship but you still can hear that I’m not a native Swede, but only Swedish people can hear it. So once I moved to Korea 4 years ago I used my Swedish passport to get in to the country (it was not on purpose but random chance, I could have chosen the polish one or the German one too). Anyway, if someone in Korea asks me where I’m from or what I am I almost always say I’m Swedish. with one exception, if a German here in Korea asks me then I say I’m German.

    I know it’s a bit easier for me because I look like I could be from any of those countries, but my identity is not tied to some specific geographic area so I have no problem being a geographical-identity-cameleon.
