From unsustainable generative AI subsidies to the direct impact of live model experimentation on users, the most significant shifts are happening in the present. This week explores these pressing realities alongside some
Welcome back! This is the third installation of my newsletter, and I am already happy to create this public archive of interesting content. From the buzzwords generated by LLMs to the physical modularity of new hardware, the underlying structures are shifting. This week's curation explores both the risks
I have been spending a lot of time lately thinking about where automation ends and true agency begins. It is easy to get lost in the hype of generative models, but the real interest lies in how these technologies integrate into our workflows and even our philosophical outlooks. This week&

Einen persönlichen Blog zu haben ist entweder eine strategische Entscheidung, oder ein Anachronismus, oder beides. Bei Nerds wie mir hat Bloggen auch immer etwas mit der technischen Basis zu tun.
