The googol-sized problem at Google When I first started using the Internet, it was during the time where Google was starting to gain traction as the Search Engine. This was shocking to me, and it kept being that way, for Google’s results were just so much better. You could put Yahoo’s side-by-side and make a comparison and the result was just astounding. A couple of years ago, I decided to delete all the data that Google has on me. Or at least the one that it lets us delete through the Settings. This opened my eyes because the next time I performed a Google Search, the results were so unusable, I realised the “good” results were so because it simple had collected who I am and what I consider to be deemable of clicks. From this experience, I started using Duck Duck Go. Now, I only ever use Google when a DDG search does not give me the results I want. ...

By the end of last year, a week I was scrolling through the Internet as usual, and by the next one every single meme I received were ChatGPT answers. From people tricking it into think that it was the user, to answering 5 when asked “What is 2 + 2?”. A system that behaves this way cannot be said to be intelligent, surely.

Much is said about Whiplash (2016) regarding the acting of its two main characters: the young man trying to be the best he can be, and the old man breaking souls in search of that one great student. The pain Andrew Neiman has to go through to be considered decent by Fletcher, the literal blood he has to give, the relationships he has to give up on, and of course the psychological intensity he is subject to. All those themes have been addressed. ...

It’s been ten years since La Dispute released his sophomore LP, Wildlife. The world is a radically different place, but somehow the record still feels as fresh as when it was first released. Another annotation would have to be made regarding the non-lyrical content of all of La Dispute’s work. As opposed to similar genres like screamo and hardcore where the vocalists are either screaming or carefully singing, Dreyer can transition from a loud scream to a verse that’s being whispered while also transitioning the emotions the voice has to show to match the content that’s being sung. Among other things like good mixing of diverse elements and instruments. ...
