We mocked AI lovers. Now they’re out-competing humans – and rewriting intimacy like open-source romance. Remember when we roasted dudes for falling in love with chatbots? “Get a real girl, bro!” we said – while doom-scrolling Tinder like it was tech support for loneliness. Fast-forward to 2025: AI companions now outpace OnlyFans growth. And the … Read more
The Death of Persuasion For decades, marketers worshiped persuasion; Kotler’s managerial models, Godin’s emotional tribes, Ries & Trout’s positioning. But persuasion assumes consent. And consent is a luxury in an economy where attention is the scarcest resource alive. Today, algorithms, feeds, and predictive models don’t wait for the consumer’s permission, they decide what the consumer … Read more
The Invisible Threshold of Power Every model that reads left to right lives in a paradox. It predicts the next token, yet the meaning of what it predicts often depends on the tokens that come after. This is not an aesthetic problem, it is structural. Authority in language—who commands, who obeys, who qualifies as the … Read more

It’s been a while since I published on HackerNoon. Not because I ran out of ideas, but because everywhere I looked, the internet started to sound like it was written by the same person.

“Prompt engineering” isn’t about fancy syntax it’s about clear thinking. And clear thinking can’t be automated. I use ChatGPT almost every day. Sometimes it helps me debug SQL.

The Problem You ask ChatGPT or Claude to write a YouTube script. It gives you perfectly formatted text that feels generic, predictable, and screams “AI-written.” The hook is weak.

Real-time, lightweight, and open-source future of data integration.
Even with my fancy master’s degree, none of this felt easy at the beginning. That’s how I know degrees aren’t what make this work click, curiosity, practice, and patience do.
