The ocean is losing oxygen. This is how it will affect the future of the planet
Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. The deep sea's allure stems largely from the fact that we know far less about its vast, largely unexplored regions than we do about outer space, such as the Moon or Mars.This immense and mysterious environment, characterised by extreme pressure, darkness, and cold temperatures, harbours unique ecosystems and life forms that are still largely unknown to science. Oceans and marine life are suffering. The consistent decline of ocean oxygen will have long-term consequences in the future of the planet.

Where was I?
I am writing this because, in case no one noticed, I’ve been away for some days. Yes, darlings, I finally disconnected and I feel no guilt about it. It was necessary. And since I don’t have to ask anyone for permission, I simply did what I should have done long ago.

Tesla Diner, open now!
I can’t tell you how excited I am. If there’s a reason why I would travel all the way to California from the old continent is this new Tesla Diner.

AI literacy is the only way to a successful AI-human collaboration and AI-assisted education
AI literacy is not a new concept. It emerged several years when I was writing for an Ed tech publication. Back then, the talks about AI in education were common with participation of academics, researchers, ed tech companies, and education technologists.

First recorded ancient cheesecake (includes recipes)
I love cakes. I love all sorts of cheesecakes, too, including ancient cheesecakes. When I learned about Cheesecake Day early this month, I experienced one of those happy moments that almost makes sense of everything else. All my worries and problems took a second place because now there was Cheesecake Day to brighten up my days. Thirty days of cheesecake. Thirty days of sweet thoughts.

AI and the future of gaming
From prompt-to-game, now you can create a game your way, no coding. It sounds like a good thing, right? Perhaps it is. Generative AI technology can generate levels, characters, dialogues, and entire environments. In the context of gaming all these provide a dynamic and immersive experience for players.

Dracula and other vampire movies
‘Dracula and other vampire movies’ is my collection of vampire movies. These are movies I love to watch on Halloween or any time of the year. These are movies and watch again and again, without getting bored or tired of them, finding something new in them each time.
