TL;DR: Your guide to cutting through the hype of emerging technologies. We cover the business, politics, and culture of AI, robotics, digital privacy, and more through a pragmatic lens, calling out the bullshit while staying optimistic about what's actually possible.
At its core, Technonomicon is my love letter to technology's potential, filtered through a lens of practical optimism. Think of it as an art project—a curated reflection of what technology is doing for us today and an exploration of the path we are currently headed down.
We find the fascinating, the promising, and the concerning developments worth your attention, adding thoughtful context to help you make sense of it all. Because let's face it—we're living in wild times. Every week brings some new "revolutionary" AI breakthrough or robot that's supposedly going to change everything. And yeah, some of this stuff IS genuinely mind-blowing.
But here's the thing: while Silicon Valley is busy declaring every new startup the next world-changing unicorn, we're dealing with record wealth inequality, multiple ongoing wars, and a society that seems more divided by the day. Finding actual facts among the tech hype feels like trying to find a specific Reddit thread from 2017—theoretically possible, but for some reason a $30bn company still can't fix their search.
But I digress.
That's where Technonomicon comes in. We're your guide through this mess of a future we're building. We embrace technology's potential while keeping both feet firmly planted in reality. When everyone's losing their minds over the latest AI model, we'll be here asking the important questions—like, no, seriously, why does everyone treat Sam Altman like he's the second coming of christ?
We're progressive because we actually want to see technology make things better, not just make a few people richer. We're analytical because someone needs to read past the press releases. And we're definitely not afraid to call out empty predictions from people who are just riding the hype train.
