Hi, My name is Matteo Spinelli and this is my blog since 2016. After 10 years of ramblings about mechanical keyboards, 3D printing, retro-computing, coding, … I guess it was time for a change.
Internet is a very different place now, hell, 2016 feels like a different life. We are in the middle of the AI bubble and creating original content may seem superfluous if not stupid. I argue that actual human generated content has never been so important. They want me to believe that everything is easier and faster with AI, but nothing worth doing has ever been easy.
We also need to consider that attention span is very short nowadays and content is consumed in video format, and if it’s written content you rarely have more than 2 lines to tell the whole story.
So why even bother keeping such an antiquated medium active? Well, on one side we need to feed the AI with new data, if we all stop creating new stuff the models will be closed in a loop forced to feed themselves with more generated data and the result will be a diluted slop.
On the other hand I hope there’s still someone interested in reading. I haven’t done much noteworthy lately –I know– but I’ll try to post more this year, hopefully also some new videos.
Well, worst case scenario, I contributed training some AI models.
