The Soul of Cinema: Why 90s Movies Still Outshine Modern Blockbusters Watching an old movie for the first time today, released in 2000, “ The Perfect Storm ”, I thought: Why are movies made from the 80s to the 2000s so cool? Now movies are constantly being made, and directors compete in whose special effects are cooler. But what has changed? Photo by Stephen Holdaway on Unsplash With technical progress, with progress in information technology, with the advent of artificial intelligence, having all these advantages, compared to previous times, do old movies still win?

In modern films, there are no soundtracks that you want to listen to ...

An Interesting Discussion About Simulation Theory: Are We Living in a Game? Fact-Checking Over the past few years, headlines have been cropping up about the origins of the world, the world’s structure, that planet Earth is flat, that what we’re being shown is a hologram, and that life is just a simulation. For me, such talk is equivalent to the idea of ​​the world that people thought was held up by three elephants on a giant whale. Image created with Gemini AI I had an interesting conversation with someone, let’s call her Sandra (just because I like Sandra Bullock ). Sandra said she could prove to me that we were living in a simulation if I was READY! It sounded pretty arrogant, like I was new and clueless, while she knew something was wrong. I said I don’t agree that we live in it; otherwise, everyone, like in the game, could choose a house, a yacht, and so on, completing various tasks, like in the game. She began: “The fact is that we live in a simulation. ...

The Funko Pop Debt Trap: Why Buying Plastic Instead of Knowledge is a Symptom of a Deeper Problem A friend of mine, let’s call him Freddy — mostly because Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is playing in the background right now — has never read a book. He’s not interested; after graduating from college, he decided he’d had enough of studying. He spent some time looking for a job, and some friends helped him find one. His life was all about work and weekends. His hobbies included ordering food and collecting Funko Pops figurines. Photo by Myrlene NUMA on Unsplash He has a large shelf in his room filled with Funko Pops figurines. Each one costs about $20. Then he met a girl who aspired to the lap of luxury. He started buying her expensive clothes and taking her out to cafés and restaurants frequently. He took out a loan and bought the latest iPhone. His salary wasn’t enough. He took out several credit cards and got into serious debt. The girl didn’t want to work and left hi...

The AI Detector Lie: My Experiment with Gemini, Toolsmart, and the 81% Robot Human An honest experiment involving Gemini, Toolsmart, and four major AI detectors to find out if your "humanized" content is actually safe I've learned about a new AI that promises to transform any AI-written text into human-written text. Since I don’t take advertising at its word, I decided to conduct a small experiment involving six AIs. In an era where content authenticity is everything, many creators are turning to AI humanizers to bypass filters, but is the technology actually ready? Experiment First, I ask Gemini to write an article in which horoscopes for tomorrow will be written for all zodiac signs. Gemini wrote me a text in a couple of seconds, which I will test now. Generating the base text with  Gemini AI Next, I copied this text and sent it to Toolsmart AI to transform into human language. It transforms in a split second.  Using  Toolsmart  to "humanize" the ...

I needed to add several products to the card, but I couldn’t find it in my personal account. Then I started looking for articles, videos, and even asked the AI how to do this — but to my surprise, all I found was how to add 1 product.
