A star day is a day declared one day in advance to only one cause. In a star day, everything besides daily habits, self care, and the most urgent of matters becomes noise. There only exists the topic of the day to engage with, or silence!
It has been more than two and a half years since the release of ChatGPT. The 30th November, 2022 marked the beginning of a new era. The start of AI. Nowadays, many professions and people in private lives, especially in the information technology sector, use it on a daily basis. And we do not even know where we are on the Gartner hype cycle or if AI will improve following Kurzweil’s “Law of Accelerating Returns”.
The trend is still rising, but at the same time I have noticed a slight but steady degradation of knowledge on a human basis because people delegate more and more creative work to AI. As a result, I have decided to write a little blog post, where I can share my thoughts, trying to discourage the overuse of Artificial Intelligence which would ruin our cognitive capabilities. And although I know that very little people read this, it does not stop me from trying. Otherwise, I might have missed my opportunity in helping humanities future.
Yes, this title is a small nod to the excellent Netflix series “Arcane”, but that’s not what this post is about.
Today, I want to share some thoughts about earworms, a term that originated in German (“Ohrwurm”) and was later adopted into English as a literal translation. The meaning behind this rather abstract term is catchy tunes—sticky music, as Wikipedia calls it. This phenomenon often occurs unpredictably, especially when our thoughts drift away from the present moment.
Talk a little bit about how one can become better (not master by any means, nobody is perfect) in writing a blog post. These are just my thoughts after two awesome guys from the Astro Community (
Jacob and
Lou) decided to write blogs about how hard and easy it is to write blog posts.
Please read their posts first as this is the follow-up on both of them:
After that you have successfully completed this awesome trilogy of blog posts about blog posts.
This year, I turned 20 - and instead of simply lighting candles and inflating balloons, I wanted to celebrate in a more creative and personal way. The idea? Hide the number 20 in as many surprising, clever, and hidden forms as possible throughout a decorated living room - then capture it all in a single photo. Whether through mathematical puzzles or visual Easter eggs, the room transformed into a joyful riddle full of playful detail.
This is the story of how I came up with the wonderful but meaningless username “trueberryless”.
