  • AI just became self-aware overnight—at least, that’s how it felt. I start each sunny Florida morning with a cup of coffee and a scroll through the world’s news. Today, what caught my eye was the rash of major internet and tech outages (e.g. AWS, Starlink, Google, CrowdStrike, etc.). So naturally, having been one of those…

  • Goldman Sachs has hired its first AI Software Engineer, Devin. The company who created Devin is Cognitive AI. So I thought I would introduce you to Devin, through a short story, written entirely by…. You guessed it… AI (Gemini), with the seed idea and plot by yours truly. As a former VP of Enterprise Monitoring…

  • The night of August 12th 2024, I think the world caught up to Science Fiction: The Musk/TRUMP interview. It was set to start at 8:00 PM ET on the X platform. I logged in and made a bee line to Elon’s feed and tried to join the space, but in doing so the platform froze……

  • It’s early Sunday morning and I ask Alexa about the weather and while she’s at it to open the garage door. I hop on my e-bike and tap the right pad of my headphones that connects me to a podcast. Technology is a beautiful thing, but not for everything. When I arrive at the grocery…

  • CLever. Dictator, which is a 100 year old modern lifestyle luxury brand company Destilería has hired the first AI CEO. Probably a good idea since we see so much bad decision making at the top which drags the innocent into a whirlpool of their corruption. THhs is a company I will follow.

  • We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news: The LUCY mission is named after the fossilized skeleton of pre-human ancestry, which gave us a breakthrough understanding of our own human origin. The LUCY mission will do the same, giving us a much greater understanding of the formation of planets in our own solar system.…

  • Not since the 2006 movie, Idiocracy, has there been a good parody of where we are today (Politically, Socially, Environmentally, Economically, etc.). Watching Don’t Look Up –– as much as I thoroughly enjoyed the humor of this movie–– I found myself cringing at scenes that were a little to close to home. The casting was…

  • With a very smooth and successful launch on Christmas day, The James Webb Telescope is on its way, traveling 1,000,000 miles from Earth, where it will slowly unravel over a two week period, calibrate the mirrors and run through various configurations, while cooling down to -230 C so there is no heat interference gathering the…

  • Blue Origin’s Sheppard Capsule mission a success. Having watched both the Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin tourist missions, I think, as a tourist, I would choose Virgin Galactic over Blue Origin for a ride into space; there is just something about the civility of Virgin Galactic’s approach over Blue Origin’s. One thing Branson knows is…

  • The Amazon Vella platform has been released. This platform brings writers together with their readers, one episode at a time. My collection of shorts is called End Of Days. I was kicking back with a friend and we got to talking about life, and what if it was our last day on Earth. One of…
