Column: The Tower of Babel has fallen – why is the media dying and with it democracy?

Democracy is dying because the flow of information and the fourth branch of government are dying. The story of the end of media did not begin with the arrival of artificial intelligence or its boom in 2022, but with the emergence of social media. Let me explain why democracy may be at risk and what is happening right now to the media landscape that I have been a part of for the past twenty years. The story is downright terrifying.

The Great Development Acceleration: How AI Will Break Up and Reassemble the World by 2030

Watch out! In the next term of the Slovenian government, exactly this will change: while our good MPs will argue about whose grandfather was in the wrong forest in 1945, the world will experience a "great acceleration". It will drive global economic growth to 7 % per year. This is not science fiction and it is no longer just distant scenes from the legendary cartoon about the Jetson family; this is inexorable mathematics, driven by artificial intelligence, robotics and energy. Here is a timeline of how your everyday life will fall apart and be put back together before you even manage to say the word "interpellation". It is coming - a great development acceleration.

Musk Industries: The Arrival of the King of Capitalism and the Birth of the First Three-Trillion Dollar Empire

Fasten your seatbelts, because Elon Musk has just decided that traditional corporations are obsolete and that he will control everything from your thoughts to your transportation to Mars. Musk Industries has begun to emerge.

Column: Who will be considered smart in the world of artificial intelligence?

Let me explain. If you still believe that the definition of a smart person is someone who gets all the points in math in school and can recite definitions from a textbook by heart, I have bad news for you. That train derailed a long time ago.

Ad Astra: Elon Musk and the school system for the age of artificial intelligence – is this the end of “nerding”?

Forget everything you know about school. Forget the bell that brutally interrupts your thoughts, forget sitting in lines like in a 19th century factory, and above all – forget learning facts by heart. In an age when your phone has access to all human knowledge in three milliseconds, classical school has become like a fax machine in the age of the internet. It works, but no one knows exactly why we still use it. Elon Musk, with his project Ad Astra ("To the stars"), showed what the "operating system" for the children of the future should be.

Column: The Decline of Brands – Why Your Logo Will Be Worth Exactly Nothing in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Your precious logo and that vaunted 'brand story' you've poured thousands of euros into to make you feel important? I have bad news. In five years, they'll be worth exactly nothing. When artificial intelligence starts shopping for people, it won't be looking for your expensive prime-time TV commercial. It'll just be looking at raw data. And if the algorithm can't see you, you're dead in business. That's the demise of brands - caused by the AI algorithm.

Anatomy of Slovenian Decline: When a Nation of Servants Buys Tickets for the Titanic

If aliens were to descend to the sunny side of the Alps today and observe our daily lives, they would write the following in a report to the Galactic Federation: "This is a tribe that believes that wealth is created by laying Knauf and that the pinnacle of civilizational achievement is a vacation allowance."

Apple ft. Google: Apple has admitted defeat and why is marriage to Google the only solution for your iPhone?

Apple has just admitted defeat. And it's the best news for your pocket computer, which you affectionately call your phone. Siri will finally stop being that "special" cousin you don't trust to even cook eggs, let alone organize your life.

Ending Domestic Slavery – LG CLOiD: The Robot That Promises to End Domestic Slavery

Let's face it. Nobody—and I mean nobody, except maybe those weirdos who enjoy ironing shirts on Sunday nights—loves housework. Doing laundry is a 21st-century Sisyphean task; you're barely done before the basket is full again. And don't even get me started on the dishes. But LG says that's the end of that. It's called CLOiD, and it's probably the first thing on four wheels in a long time that's excited me more than the new Porsche 911. Why? Because you can't send a Porsche into the kitchen to make you a sandwich, and the LG CLOiD apparently can.

The third lane of the highway is a journey back in time: Why are we building barns in the age of spaceships?

The year is 2026. While DARS and government buildings are still sweating with excitement over the drawing of a third lane on the Styrian motorway and dreaming of hectoliters of new asphalt on the same route, which has already been dug up a hundred times, I have the unpleasant feeling that I am watching a repeat of a very bad historical drama. This national enthusiasm of ours for the expansion of the motorway at a time when technology is redefining the very essence of movement is exactly as if in 2007, just a day after Steve Jobs showed the world the first iPhone, the Nokia board of directors had called a crisis meeting, at which they would have decided with all seriousness and strategic enthusiasm how to squeeze two additional keys onto the physical keyboard for faster typing. A completely missed point that will serve as an example of expensive myopia in economics textbooks. The third lane of the motorway is a way back in time. Let me explain why!

Will Artificial Intelligence Defeat Death: Why You Must Survive the Next 10 Years at All Costs to Live at Least 150 Years

History will judge us by one simple fact: were we the last generation to die of stupidity, or the first to cheat death? Science is finally "hacking" aging. And not with cannabis ointments or meditation on Šmarna gora, but with the brute power of artificial intelligence, genetic scissors and - you won't believe it - crypto financing. Will artificial intelligence defeat death?!
