Rishabh made an AI blog question challenge and invited me to fill it out. Let's go! 1. How was your first experience with AI models? I used to have fun playing around with NeuralBlender, and used it to inspire glitch art of mine that I drew. Back when ChatGPT launched, I used it to teach myself HTML and CSS. 2. Do...

Today I partially joked in a chat I think at this time of my life, I would like to have a nemesis. Everyone has people they don't like and find annoying, I do too. But a nemesis? There's something you can't stand about them, but you recognize they are really good at something, and can admire some things about them...

While I was at the conference, my wife explored Brussels on her own. As you might know, she doesn't have a smartphone, and the only similar thing she has is a tablet with only WiFi capabilities. Public WiFi is more and more common, but you can still walk half the city without a connection. I asked her to document...

I've finished reading the Draft Guidelines for transparency requirement under the AI Act that are out for comment until the 3rd of June, and a variety of exemptions for law enforcement and similar actors greatly concern me. I haven't seen media pick this up in any meaningful way, but this should be highlighted and...

I have previously written about what resources I subscribe to (newsletter, RSS, manual checking) to keep on top of data protection law news, cases, new reports, recommendations by authorities, papers of notable personalities in the space, and more. Since then, it grew to even more sources. Many of these notify me of...

Among all this talk of European sovereignty and switching to European alternatives in a move to better privacy and less support of Big Tech, I wish for more emphasis on not just blindly copying US products and slapping an EU label on it. I see news like the Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the...

I attended the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection Conference (CPDP) in Brussels for the first time. The conference has lots of different rooms mostly in the same building where multiple panels, workshops and other things are happening at the same time in specific slots, so you gotta choose what you participate...

For the CPDP 2026, I was in Brussels this week. the cityThe inner city with all its cute little shops, fancy buildings and barely any cars was very charming. Have some pics. We spotted Super Dragon Toys on the way and had to stop there, of course. Surprisingly, they had a lot of Sanrio, and even a blind box I was...

I've recently participated in an entrepreneurship workshop hosted by my university, which focused on idea generation for a startup. I have absolutely no plans to do that, and I think I am the wrong person for this, but I wanted a brief glimpse into the mind of people in that space. We tend to be complete opposites,...

For the last 2 weeks, I have received 2FA codes for my UberEats account that I did not request roughly every couple days. The account was only created a year ago and used twice, then never again. The email address and password were created specifically for it and are not used elsewhere. No other accounts and...

I've been thinking more about the future we might be heading towards if things continue the way they do, relatively unstopped, especially in regards to data harvesting and leaks, and how digitalized our society continues to become. I wonder if we are simply headed for a society in which there is bleak acceptance and...

I've been able to go to the gym more consistently lately, and I've started using the strength machines too, instead of just using the treadmill. Usually my workouts consisted of the treadmill, my indoor cycle, pilates and yoga, but I wanted more, especially after this year has been more difficult with consistency...
