While not making an effort to prove itself to be something more than a publicity stunt, the so-called “AI” is still making a fuss almost everywhere, be it a legitimate expression of opinion or just a disposable 148 character tweet. Now there’s a latent fanboy in anyone between 30 and…

My interest in high tech has somewhat diminished in the past years as a result of overexposure and forced commodification. No fascination whatsoever with something that goes from exotic innovation to cliche repetitive toxic ad in minutes. …

Nostalgia kills, and we’re full of it; there’s a Romanian pun that I’m too lazy to translate here, based on the fact that we’ve got the same word for “before” and “forwards”: “înainte”. It's something like we’re going înainte (forward) because it was better înainte (before). Not that it’s something…

(Romanian version below — găsiți mai jos și varianta în limba română) As far as sequels go, 13 years is way too much; even for James "sequel better than the original" Cameron, who declared war on mainstream Hollywood just to turn himself into what mainstream Hollywood stands for: big, loud…

[….] îl vedem prin ceața războiului pe comandantul acțiunii este după cum se aștepta toată lumea un babuin un urangutan sau un mandril o maimuță oricum dintr-acelea urâte borâte chiar cu dinții beliți într-o mână ține o pușcă în cealaltă ridică agresiv o foaie de hârtie pe care e imprimat…

Following Lucas' deal with Disney (happening some 10 years ago, if I remember correctly), the hype around STAR WARS and everything it stood for was at an all time high. As the new, "sequel" trilogy was announced, people actually expected to return to a galaxy far, far away, both in…
