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.
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.
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 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.
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 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!
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?!
While we in Slovenia are passionately polishing the brass on the Titanic and fighting over deck chairs, Silicon Valley has long since switched to the Enterprise and turned on warp drive. Biology is becoming software, aging is just a "bug" in the code, and in the meantime we are collecting corks and waiting three years for an inspection, convinced that the pinnacle of civilization is a properly completed travel order. Read why most of our jobs today are just shuffling digital paper before extinction and why what is coming is not just a storm, but a completely new climate in which you will be wet to the bone without an umbrella. We are at the point of the singularity of progress - let me explain.
I bet you 100 euros that you're reading this on your phone when you should be doing something else. Maybe you're at work, maybe you're on the toilet, maybe your kid is drawing on the wall in the corner of the room and you're too busy scrolling to notice. Don't worry, you're not alone. You're just another lab rat in the biggest experiment in human history. And spoiler alert: you're losing
Nvidia has unveiled something that sounds like the name of a new washing powder – Nvidia Alpamayo. But it’s the first AI for autonomous driving that doesn’t just follow the rules, but actually thinks. Leave that aside for a moment. The car will “think” about its next move. That means the average new car on the road will soon have a higher IQ than the average road user. And, most frighteningly, it will probably have more ethics, too.
Forget flying cars and smart refrigerators that judge you for your midnight snacks. At CES 2026, Hyundai just did something we've been waiting for decades, but also a little afraid of. They brought the new Atlas. Not the kind that parkours in YouTube videos, but one that's ready to go. It walks like a human, lifts like an Olympian, and picks itself up off the ground in a way that would send an exorcist fleeing. The new Atlas is here, and it's ready to take on the heavy lifting—literally.
Let's be politically incorrect, but brutally honest, because we don't have time for deception anymore. For all of you who still believe that we will solve the future with circles where we all sit in a circle and pass around a "talking stick", I have bad news for you. In the world of artificial intelligence (AI), democracy as we know it in old, tired Europe is dead. They just haven't told it yet. Dictatorship is the new black... Let me explain!
