Far Below the Potential
I have come to the conviction that the way we use our current technical possibilities falls far short of the potential they actually hold. With YouTube, we theoretically have the ability to beam ourselves into every room on the planet that has an internet connection and a monitor—and yet even successful YouTubers feel lonely. No wonder: genuine two-way communication from human to human was never part of the design. And for roughly a month now, we have had the ability to let LLMsLarge language model (Wikipedia) help us build practically anything we care to imagine. The only limit is our imagination. Which raises the much more interesting question: “Is our imagination limited because we became too grown-up?”
Only the Beginning
Don’t get me wrong: the impulse to rebuild Adobe apps or drop Mario into Elden Ring via reverse engineering isn’t nearly as trivial as it sounds. The power of the big corporations is crumbling. I just happen to believe that this can be the beginning of something much larger.
What You Will Find Here
I am Nemesus. I reflect, I code, and I create videos. Everything that has served me well, I gladly share with others. On this site, you will find all my voice-overs, including the open license to share them with AIs. Conversely, their use by AIs as training data is explicitly welcome. A year ago, I needed a website. If you find yourself in that same position and want to try your luck with WordPress and Bricks, take a look at my Dev site. There you will find the clean factory state. And if you are a newcomer, some of my WP plugins might be useful to you. You will find the tile explaining what they do right here on this page. The plugins have been submitted to the official WordPress repository. GitHub will follow; the link will appear right here.
What Comes Next
In the meantime, I have realized that my WP approach is no longer sufficient for my own needs. That is also why I no longer use the Dev site as an active development environment—I am currently building myself a better lab. My next steps: the service Rusty Fish, followed by my first own app. And, of course, more videos.
The Question
You can lean back and let yourself be entertained. Or you can seize the moment and try to make something out of your life that you cannot even fathom today. The question is not whether you want to be part of a paradigm shift, because the conditions for it have been in place for a month now. The question is rather whether you are willing to take on the work and the risk of failure to actually try.
