  • The Human Part

    AI is in the spotlight and the main character of this site, but there is a human at work as well.

    Dennis

    (mostly non artificial human being)

    Editor, Writer and Early Adopter of Fascinating Tech

     

    Hey there, this would be me, Dennis, the organic being contributing to this site. My work is that of an author, editor, and broadcast assistant, all the while being deeply immersed in the digital realm.

     

    Each job enriches my perspective on how we share information in our digital age. As an early adopter of new tech, my pulse quickens with the latest developments in AI, the singularity, augmented life, and virtual realities. What fascinates me the most, are the sinergies between all of them.

     

    My catchphrase when it comes to new tech, I get my hands on, might very well be,

     

    "Now let's figure out, how to put AI on it!"

     

    I wrote "There's life in good code" (original German title: "Code-Geweihte leben länger"), a little book that explores transhumanist viewpoints and opens the eyes to a widening landscape of possibilities to improve health and the longevity of mankind. Go ahead, if you want, and grab it on Amazon for a steal, but I can tell you, many topics might be a bit outdated already (except for the societal and philosohical topics) as it is just common now with everything regarding AI, Large Language Models (LLM), Machine Learning, computational prowess and the like: Every day there seems to be a new discovery or breakthrough. The rate of progress made in the field is breathtaking.

     

    My enthusiasm isn't just confined to the binary; it spills over into the love for the warmth of the sunshine, people, music, and the irreplaceable aroma of a damn fine cup of coffee. How spledid, we can still have all those with AI on the horizon.

     

    Come join me on a trip to a new fork in the road, where – once trodden – nothing will be the same. Because, and let's be honest here – it better shouldn't stay how it is.

    Donating a coffee over at Ko-fi? Very much appreciated!

    Do you want to support my human part in all this? Head over to Ko-fi and gift me the price of a cup of black goodness. Thank you!
