I Lost My Voice, So I Cloned It With Generative AI

The results blew me away — You don’t appreciate your voice fully until you can’t use it. I’m a YouTuber, and as a writer I also often use my voice to dictate blog posts. It’s a great way to increase my productivity, and in video content, my voice becomes part of my brand. That’s all well…

Google’s HQ Has a Strange Creature as its Mascot

You Can Visit Him for Free — You might expect the Mountain View, California headquarters of Google to be a serious, business-like place. Google is one of the world’s largest companies after all, and it controls about 90% of the search engine market. But Google’s HQ is anything but boring. Case in point: Stan. Who or what…

Review: Topaz Photo AI for Upscaling and Fixing Images, From a Pro Photographer

An amazing AI tool in my photography kit — As a professional photographer, I often take photos that are great from a content perspective but need a bit of technical work to be publishable. Maybe the focus is a little off, or I took the photo in a low-light environment and there’s a lot of noise. Or maybe the…

This Obscure French Philosopher’s Masterwork Suggests ChatGPT May Be Alive

What that means for humans, and how to avoid AI alienation — Most people have never heard of the 20th-century French philosopher Gilbert Simondon. His books are rarely translated, and even more rarely read. That’s a shame. His work is absolutely crucial to understanding modern generative AI. It should be required reading. Specifically, his arguments — made in the 1950s–suggest that systems…

How I Built an AI-Powered Tool for Blogging With Your Voice

Try it out for yourself and share your thoughts — Since I made the fateful decision to sign up as an OpenAI Beta tester back in 2020, I’ve used AI for a lot of things — branding a publication, creating art, and even becoming a Spotify musician with 38k streams. But there’s one stupidly-simple AI function that I’ve found myself…

I Took a $7/Hour Freelance Writing Job. Here’s What I Learned.

And why I’ll never trust online content again — Last year, I took a $7 per hour writing job from a company I’d never heard of, and that I found through a random post on social media. I ended up as a low-level ghostwriter and human content spinner, churning out blog posts on tight deadlines for way less than…
