For decades, it seemed that philosophy had been pushed aside by technology, business, and the applied sciences. Yet something unexpected has happened: with the rise of artificial intelligence, philosophy has become one of the most relevant and sought-after fields of inquiry once again. And here I am in Venice, where I will spend the coming week at the international Philosophy…
But I think the opposite is now starting to happen. Recently, I received a proposal for building a new website. The offer was good, the price was reasonable, and the person seemed to know what he was doing. But as I read it, I didn’t see a single mention that the website would be built using AI tools. And I…

But it seems to me that these conversations are missing a far more important question: what is happening to human genius in the age of AI? I…
I bought my first 3D printer in August 2025. For the next six months, I printed all kinds of figures, parts, and models created by other people. It was interesting, exciting, and often felt almost magical. But deep inside, one thought kept living in me: “I want to learn how to create 3D models myself!” Not just download someone else’s…
