Advising businesses on how to ethically build and sustainability grow with AI and Blockchain technologies
subscription models are arcahic
In the world of business and technology, the subscription model has become the golden child of revenue streams. It’s like an all-you-can-eat buffet. In theory, It promises great value but often results in a paradox of plenty and an overstuffed yet unfulfilled appetite for content. As a tech and business analyst, I’ve watched this model evolve, or rather stagnate. I’ve come to view the subscription model as a form of business development laziness. Allow me to explain…Subscription FatigueThe al...

Kierkegaard, Sartre, and #TubeGirl walk into a Birthday Party!
This is not the opening line to a joke, but the makings of a modern day existential crisis. I attended a birthday party recently, where I profoundly experienced what the Danish philosopher, Søren Kierkegaard, describes as Aesthetic Existence, or the Either/Or. This wasn’t an isolated incident or a first, but it was the first party where…I had the out-of-body experience of watching myself “be” at a party. Søren Kierkegaard, “the father of existentialism”, is best known for his introspective jo...

Blockchain-AI Intersection: An Organic Farming Approach
Preface: As part of my well-earned millennial mid-life crisis, I got into biodynamic farming and food fermentation. This journey took me from working on permaculture projects in the Azores, learning about volcanic soil, to volunteering in alchemists-run labs in Brandenburg making fire ciders and sauerkraut. It is also probably why I’ve been thinking a lot about Blockchain and AI. The convergence of blockchain and AI is what organic practices were to industrial farming practices. However, bloc...

AI’s Energy Usage Is A Problem That’s Being Solved As Fast As It’s Being Created…Maybe
Finding out about the energy consumption side of LLMs of the likes of Claude II, ChatGPT4, Bard and so many others...is like discovering a garden hose leak, slowly transforming a tiny trickle into a torrent, threatening environmental overflow (sorry for the hyperbole). Our AI obsession coupled with AI’s growing appetite for energy is a recipe for environmental disaster. But it doesn’t have to be that way.First, A Quick Lesson on AI Mechanics(Skip ahead if you already know about tokens, weight...
