Signal and Noise: How Technology Is Transforming the Way We Communicate
Human beings are, at their core, communicating creatures. From the earliest cave paintings etched into stone walls tens of thousands of years ago to the emoji-laden text messages exchanged billions of times each day, the drive to reach across the space between one mind and another has defined our species as profoundly as any other trait. Communication is not merely a tool we use — it is, in many ways, the substance of what we are.

When Algorithms Decide: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is no longer a concept confined to the pages of science fiction novels or the speculative musings of Silicon Valley futurists. It is here, embedded in the infrastructure of modern life, quietly shaping decisions that affect who gets hired, who receives medical treatment, who is granted a loan, and who is flagged as a security risk. We have handed extraordinary power to systems we barely understand, and the ethical reckoning is only just beginning.

How Technology Is Changing the Way We Maintain Buildings and Infrastructure
Maintenance is often invisible until it fails. Lights flicker only when wiring degrades. Roads are noticed when they crack. Buildings attract attention when something stops working rather than when everything functions quietly as intended.

Freelancing: Between “404: Reality Not Found” and Building Your Own Kingdom 🏗️
When I published my debut novella, "404: Reality Not Found", I didn’t expect the title to become such a perfect metaphor for my professional life 💻. In the world of freelancing, the reality promised by glossy magazines—the one with a laptop on the beach and a constant smile—is often, well, "not found." Instead of ocean blue, we more often see the blue light of a monitor at 3 AM 🌙. Working for yourself is a fascinating journey, but it’s worth talking about it without the filters, showing both the highs and the lows of this profession.

Smart Mobility and the Future of Urban Transportation
The City That Never Stood Still The city woke before the sun, as it always had. Buses coughed awake, motorcycles threaded through narrow lanes, and pedestrians hurried across crowded intersections. For decades, transportation had been a race against time—steel and rubber competing with human patience.

Digital Echo: How My "What’s up?" Builds Machine Intelligence 🤖
Moving from the rainy UK 🇬🇧 to sunny Italy 🇮🇹 was more than just a change of scenery; it was a total lifestyle overhaul. I traded the factory floor for a home office and physical labor for a freelance career in the fast-paced world of AI. Most people, when they hear about working in Artificial Intelligence, imagine writing complex algorithms or analyzing massive datasets—the kind of work I do in search relevance 📊. But there is another, much more monotonous side to this business: providing voice samples to train speech models. 🎤

AGI: Between Divine Creation and the Shadow of Skynet🤔🤖
We are living in times that future historians will likely describe as the "Era of the Great Transition." The development of Artificial Intelligence has ceased to be a mere curiosity for programmers and has become the driving force of a new reality. 🌍 Our daily lives are filled with Generative AI that creates photorealistic images on demand, writes application code, or edits videos. We use algorithms to optimize logistics and AI agents that perform tasks within their narrow specializations with incredible precision. 🎯 However, all of this is just a prelude. The real challenge that the whole world is waiting for—and simultaneously dreading—is called AGI.

The Silent Algorithm
In the near future, cities no longer relied entirely on human decision-making. Traffic lights adjusted themselves, hospitals predicted patient surges weeks in advance, and financial markets shifted according to patterns only machines could see. At the center of Ardent City’s transformation was a system known simply as “Core.” Designed by a team of elite engineers, Core analyzed billions of data points every second, optimizing everything from public transport to energy consumption. It was efficient, impartial, and, according to officials, incapable of error.

The enigma of why a star went dark for months is solved by astronomers.
Typically, stars don't simply disappear. For millions or possibly billions of years, they emit a constant glow. At the end of 2024, scientists took notice when a star 3,200 light-years away from Earth abruptly faded.

Beyond Buzzwords: The Reality of Digital Transformation
Digital transformation is frequently discussed in business strategy, yet its meaning is often diluted by overuse. In practical terms, digital transformation refers to the integration of digital technologies into core business operations to improve performance, enhance customer experience, and support long-term growth. It is not limited to adopting new software or upgrading hardware. Instead, it represents a comprehensive shift in how an organization operates and delivers value.
