In my early 20’s, after exploring Europe and South America, I felt drawn to Asia – at that time, English schools paid recruiters to seduce foreigners to small town schools overseas. I’d always planned on going to Japan, but somehow ended up in Taiwan instead. At the start of the first Sars pandemic, I was
In the swirling world of design and fashion, the term “core” has burst onto the scene, bringing with it a whirlwind of aesthetics that cater to every imaginable taste and lifestyle. From the cozy corners of cottagecore to the sleek lines of minimalism, “core” aesthetics invite us to redefine our spaces and wardrobes with...
Quick Answer Making $10,000 online fast requires either selling a high-ticket service, launching a digital product, or scaling what’s already working — not passive income schemes. Over the past decade, I’ve made about half a million bucks online. That sounds like a lot, but it works out to around $50,000 a year and half of
In the ever-expanding universe of digital content, AI video generators are like the shooting stars of technology, brightening the skies with their innovative capabilities. From Alibaba’s mind-bending lip-sync marvels to OpenAI’s storytelling maestro, Sora, and the rising stars of Pika Labs and HeyGen, let’s dive into the world...
Most of the time, working from home is great – but it can get stale, especially if you’re in a cramped home office. Like most people, I started focusing on online creative gigs without really coming to terms with just how much time I’d be spending in my makeshift workspace. Last year I started dreaming
I don’t give a f*ck. I’m sick and tired of everything. Period. That’s how I wanted to start ghostwriting an article opening with How to… FYI, usually, I don’t swear. And in my defense, I put an effort to try and write at least something. I dragged my ass into the chair, crouched over my
Like most people, I view virtual reality as a 1980’s neo-punk meme that never actually took off. We’ve seen it portrayed for decades, as the super cool futuristic tech that was always prophesied and yet failed to arrive. We laughed off Facebook’s change to “meta” as a joke, and made fun of those tacky and
I saw something over on Reddit that gave me pause… people keep asking stuff about originality. Writers freak out when they discover the story they’ve been writing for years just came out from another author or as Netflix special. And sure, Elizabeth Gilbert warned us that Great Big Ideas float around like seeds looking for
I’m playing with a fun new AI tool called “human generator” – it lets you get really detailed in your options, and it feels like creating a character profile in a video game. I was impressed by the realistic quality of the clothing… usually people use Daz3D to make fantasy or scifi characters because there
In today’s digital era, the proliferation of artificial intelligence in various sectors, including content generation, has prompted a pressing question: How can we differentiate between human-generated content and AI-generated content? This is especially challenging with state-of-the-art models like GPT-4. In this article, we will delve...
This morning when I woke up, Reddit was abuzz about a hearing in the Mexican congress showing alien cadavers. I’m not a true believer, or even an X-files fan, but I’m proud of my imagination and entertaining new possibilities is something I enjoy. If my philosophy degree taught me anything, it was to never assume
In 1637, Descartes argued that machines will never replace humans, because he couldn’t conceive of a machine with levers and buttons for every word and the ability to also put them all into a meaningful order on purpose.* And there are still many – maybe if a majority – of people confidently denying that AI
