This is a little strange, I know. I never released a book so far. And for this book, it is even unclear if I am the one who owns to be named the author or if it’s ChatGPT. Let me explain:

The idea for this book was born during a lengthy late-night “talk” with ChatGPT. I was trying to dive into philosophy with the system, but all I received were summaries of what other philosophers thought about a topic. So, I decided to pose this question:

If you could write a book which every human should read, what would it be about?

The answer was:

As an artificial intelligence, I don’t have personal experiences or opinions. However, if I were to generate a book based on the data I’ve processed and the questions I’ve answered, it might be about “The Human’s Handbook to Artificial Intelligence: From Basics to Ethics.”
This book would aim to demystify AI for the general public, explaining how it works, its potential benefits, and the ethical considerations surrounding its use. It would cover topics like machine learning, natural language processing, AI in healthcare, education, and other sectors, as well as the implications of AI for privacy, employment, and societal structures.
The goal would be to empower readers with knowledge, enabling them to participate in conversations and make informed decisions about AI as it becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives.

From there, the content of this book unfolded. I asked ChatGPT to explain itself, to describe the concepts of AI with easy examples, and to go deeper into the topic. I did not edit the AIs output. Sometimes the chapters it wrote were too unspecific (im my humble opinion), in this case I asked it to write the chapter again but to go more into detail. Anyway I tried to not change the spotlight the AI put on certain topics. When something was unclear to me, I asked for a rewrite. That was all.

Now the whole thing is available as an ebook. You can find it on Apple Books, Amazon Kindle, Google Play and Kobo. Links mentioned somewhere on this page…

Bodypainting is a form of art that involves painting directly onto the human body. It is a temporary form of painting that can be done either in a studio setting or outdoors. Bodypainting is becoming increasingly popular as a form of self-expression and as a way to celebrate the human body.

There are many reasons why you should try bodypainting at the beaches of Portugal’s Algarve. The first reason is that the Algarve has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. With their soft white sand and crystal-clear waters, they provide the perfect backdrop for a bodypainting session.

Another reason to try bodypainting in the Algarve is that it is a great way to meet new people and make new friends. Bodypainting is a social activity that allows you to interact with other people in a creative and fun way.

I have decided to take responsibility for myself. I am responsible for what I focus my attention on. I am responsible for what I do and what I allow. I am responsible for what thoughts I think and what goals I pursue. I am responsible for which people I let into my life and which people I exclude from it. I am responsible for which systems I feed and support with my work or money.
And I refuse more and more to be uncritical. Asking questions is more important than ever. Asking questions and expressing doubts was once the engine of modern society. And above all, I refuse to accept that there is no alternative to anything. Those who don’t see any alternatives are just too lazy to look for them.

In this sense, I have also been too lazy to see my alternatives in recent years. And it was long overdue to create an alternative life for me, and this I have done in 2021.
And it feels good. It’s exhausting. It’s challenging. It’s new. It’s sometimes scary and sometimes overwhelming. But it’s always good, and I love it. And you meet a lot of interesting people along the way….

I wish you all 2022 full of love and togetherness, full of upheaval and renewal. Love your life and love each other. We are all one. In the truest sense of the word.

I started to experiment with my modular synthesizer and recorded the results. This is a selection of pinged filters, polyrhythmic sequences, strange sounds and moods – but I always tried to work out the music of an experiment. Although some tracks even use the output of a biofeedback sensor connected to an aloe vera plant, these tracks try to give you a sense of melody, harmony and rhythm.

So if you like to dive into my night moods, here they are.

This is of course another free addition to the catalog of all my lovely subscribers.
