Pyramid of industries

Whether you call it pyramid of industries, trades or branches, the name is not really important, but I was looking for such a pyramid for a long time, which shows which industries and trades are interdependent and in turn build on each other. Since I could not find such a graph, ChatGPT (GPT-4) helped me to build such a structure.

Lex Kirpeit/AI2023 - Restriction of Generative Artificial Intelligence - Guideline.

Due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence, this has far-reaching consequences for humanity, the likes of which we have never experienced before at such a speed. Within weeks to months, virtually anyone with access to the Internet can now use artificial intelligence to achieve their goals.

Using ChatGPT (GPT-3.5), I created a Lex Kirpeit/AI2023, and adjusted measures accordingly (ChatGPT suggested death penalty, which I think is overkill), which states what limitations of generative AI should apply in my opinion and experience. Since I am a natural person and do not have legislative influence, this Lex Kirpeit/AI2023, is a recommendation and should be considered an informal guide to dealing with generative AI.

This lex is not legally binding, but should be considered to limit long-term harm from generative AIs.

ChatGPT's conclusion:

It is my hope that the Lex Kirpeit/AI2023 will help ensure that the use of generative AI technology is done in an ethically responsible manner and that humanity is protected from the potential harms of the use of AI technology.

Generative AI is a danger and we should ban it

Generative AI is a danger and we should ban it

I love using AI and see the benefits every day in my day-to-day work to make my job easier, but not always uncritically, so I have to debug code more often, but it's nicely formatted and documented right away. But generative AI is a danger. Continue reading →

Vertical Farming Power Consumption

Vertical Farming Power Consumption

Vertical farming and power consumption is actually one of the most important topics in the industry, but it is usually given little attention or glossed over with buzz words, at least it seems to me that people prefer not to throw out the hard numbers. As a trained electronics engineer, however, I know that the reality is different and not necessarily so great when you look at the energy requirements.

Is Poland preparing to join the war?

Is Poland preparing to join the war?

Will Poland join the Russian-Ukrainian war? Recently I came across information that supports this thesis. Because the Polish government has ordered 1000 tanks in South Korea. What do you need 1000 tanks for, if not for war? Continue reading →

Poverty is falling, despite capitalism

Again and again I find contributions or interviews of lifestyle leftists who like to claim that capitalism is to blame for poverty and that it has to be replaced by something better. By which system? This is usually not answered, but one can ideologically already think where it leads, in socialist or communist systems. Continue reading →

I'm selling my Netflix share!

I'm selling my Netflix share!

I've been a Netflix user for a few years now, and I'm happy to take advantage of the service (even though I don't have much time for it). Being able to watch movies and series at any time without annoying commercials ultimately ensures that I don't shed a tear for analog linear television, and am rather ashamed to read online how one TV show after the next flops and is discontinued. (Pro7 digs its own grave, Only 850,000 viewers: RTL lands massive prime-time flop, Only 400,000 viewers: Pro7 has two flops in a row)

Why vertical farming companies need to catch up on the web

Why vertical farming companies need to catch up on the web

For more than 8 years I'm already a web developer and working in my self-employment, there come more or less known sites, technologies, CMS and stacks to eyes where you think to yourself "Hey, that's WordPress!" or "OMG, that's Joomla/Typo3 :O", some websites you can see that directly, with others I only need to read briefly in the header of the page source and know what this page is built with, what I'm dealing with, what theme is behind it, what plugins are used and who adheres to the DSGVO/GDPR or not, yes, I have so found some websites already, where the Google Analytics anonymous_ip was not set 😉 . But no one pays me to report other sites, nor would I get money to take care of the errors of another site.
