I'm beginning to realise that AI can be very good at helping you with unimportant things that are important. As in, important to you. When we look at the universe, my coffee moka isn't a huge deal, but it is for me, because for about two months, I...

Anglophone and Anglo-Saxon cultures have given the world a lot of great things, but corporatism isn't one of them. So many of the issues we see today are caused by self-imposed bulls**t we have to deal with it. The peak of which is probably HR. No...

Back when I was a teenager, which is not that long ago, rappers would make money, but not that much money. They'd be relegation-zone, mid-level EPL player rich, not Man City rich. I still remember an MTV Cribs video, for example, where G-Unit membe...

A wise man once said that there's a country in Europe that only exists so you can drive through it to get to Italy. I disagree. But I get it. I don’t mind this country. In fact I like it. I was there a few weeks ago, and since I had to check out of...

I missed a flight today because seven months ago a friend asked me to join him for drinks. Or, more accurately, random Monday night drinks with my friend set in motion a sequence of events that led me to missing my flight today. I've only missed my...

Today is my last day (third of three) using this WeWork space (for free, thanks to Revolut), and I thought it'd be cool to break down the costs versus revenue of the location. Obviously I had to ask AI for help so take what follows with a pinch of s...
