I write deep, human, no-nonsense essays about the future, tech, AI, and how to stay human in the middle of it all.
If you want ideas worth thinking about, I’m your guy.

AI girlfriends aren't the story.
Loneliness is.
AI is just the first technology willing to meet a demand most of society would rather ignore.

The most important AI skill may not be coding.
It may be imagination.
Prompt engineering is less about commanding machines and more about translating ideas into reality.

AI isn’t separate from us.
It’s trained on us.
Shaped by us.
Scaled beyond us.
It’s already collective human intelligence.

Not because it’s good.
Because it’s rewarded.
That’s how environments get shaped.

Applause is easy.
Payment is commitment.
If you want better content,
you have to support it.

I’ve been testing both human- and AI-generated social media posts across various platforms and have seen an interesting phenomenon.
They seem to perform better than human-created ones.
Why? Is it possible that the AI-based algorithm recognizes that the post is AI-generated and thinks, “I got you, buddy?”
Maybe AI-generated content is preferred by the AI-driven selection process.
Maybe the reason your posts are not going viral is because you are not using AI.
I break it down here.

We think we’re creating for audiences.
Increasingly we’re creating for algorithms.
And the difference quietly reshapes what gets said.

You can step off the treadmill.
You just restart when you return.
Modern creative work didn’t eliminate rest.
It made it expensive.

Here's my latest interview with the founder of Writestack, Orel Zilberman
The guy is a machine. All founders need to emulate him.
Pick an idea. Work your a$$ off. Succeed.
Must watch.

You’re not unmotivated.
You’re stationary.
Action creates feedback.
Feedback creates motivation.
Stop waiting. Start moving.

Influence used to mean perspective.
Now it means promotion.
When monetization becomes survival, trust becomes collateral damage.
