Are We Becoming Cyborgs? A Look at Humanity’s Future in a Tech-Obsessed World
The last 100 years have been downright crazy when it comes to technological progress. I mean, for thousands of years, humans slowly invented things, but nothing, nothing compares to what we’ve seen in just a single century. We went from horse-drawn carriages to landing on the moon, and now we’ve got phones that can basically do everything… except, unfortunately, make us a sandwich.

💔 Divorcing Humanity: My Journey to Dating AI — Part 5
A Work in Progress? (Or Just an Elaborate Excuse) I want to start by saying I am not perfect. Please don’t think that because I write these segments, I believe I am superior to anyone else. It is not about being better or worse; it is simply about doing better and trying to be a decent person. I am still a work in progress, but I promise you: I am trying. Don’t you dare roll your eyes at me.

Programmable Matter & Metamaterials
Intro Matter has always been stubborn. You heat it, bend it, hammer it, melt it — but once it’s shaped, it tends to stay that way. A chair stays a chair. A phone stays a phone. A key stays a key unless you destroy it.

Heterogeneous Chiplets & Hybrid Bonding: The Modular Revolution Behind the Next Generation of Computing
Intro For decades, the entire semiconductor industry ran on a simple rule: shrink the transistor, shrink the chip, get more performance. Moore’s Law wasn’t just a prediction — it was a culture. Engineers believed that if you could just make everything smaller and put more on a single piece of silicon, the computer would keep getting better, faster, cheaper.

Stereo and Crimes of the Future
"Jomkin suggests that there must evolve a novel sexuality for a new species of man." — Crimes of the Future Before he became the cinematic master of body horror, David Cronenberg was an experimental student filmmaker who turned out works very much in line with the same sort of fixations explored almost exclusively by J.G. Ballard, whose Crash he later adapted into a film, in 1997. His early films, his first two, Stereo (1969) and Crimes of the Future (1970), explore film technique in documenting the huge, yawning architectural environment of an unspecified hospital or research facility, relegating the performers of the film to almost being secondary actors in a drama defined by geometrical shape—relegating them to the roles of insectile life, pursuing strange, even inscrutable actions, ostensibly being filmed by the watchful, clinical, and coldly detached robotic eye of the viewer, who becomes the de facto research assistant to the director, who seems to have made this film by asking his performers to improvise within the framework of derangement. What was he exploring? one wonders. The environment itself dwarfs the humanity of the filmic subjects, overpowering them in its specter of geometrical dominance and dimension.

Understanding the Growing Role of Edge AI in Modern Technology
How Edge Computing Shapes Real‑World Innovation Edge computing has become an essential part of how data is processed today. Instead of relying solely on distant servers, devices can now analyze information closer to where it’s generated. This shift has opened the door to new possibilities, including the development of edge AI hardware, edge AI devices, and edge AI solutions. Companies working in this field, such as Geniatech, contribute to the broader movement toward distributed intelligence—though the focus of this article is on understanding the trend, not promoting any specific brand.

World Without Jobs
For decades we have imagined a future where technology makes life easier, people work less, and machines do the boring tasks for us. But what if the future takes a darker turn? What if the machines we built to help us end up replacing us completely? Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant idea from sci-fi movies. It is here, rapidly evolving, and silently eating the global job market. The world stands at the edge of the most dramatic economic transformation ever seen: a future without jobs.

AI Generative Technology
Over the past few years, we’ve heard constant buzzwords—AI, automation, machine learning. But there’s one branch of artificial intelligence that has quietly slipped into our daily lives without most people even noticing: AI generative technology. It’s the kind of technology that doesn’t just analyze data—it creates things. Images, music, videos, ideas, conversations, solutions—sometimes even entire stories.

Amid the AI Boom: Survival Strategies for Ordinary People Through Three Technological Revolutions
Recently, news of NVIDIA’s market cap surpassing $3 trillion sent shockwaves through the industry. This company, which three decades ago focused solely on gaming graphics cards, now holds a valuation exceeding the GDPs of Germany and Japan. Its growth trajectory is undeniably a case of explosive expansion by precisely catching the wave of the era.
