The Great Unlocking: Why We Are Sleepwalking into a Quantum Apocalypse

By Michael Droste — 1st January, 2026

Humanity has never felt safer while being more exposed.

Every day, billions of people see a tiny padlock glow reassuringly in a browser bar and mistake symbolism for security. That icon has become a secular talisman. It tells us our bank transfers are safe, our medical records sealed, our confessions private. It whispers that the mathematics bene…

Labor, Inequality, and Social Fabric

By Michael Droste — 27th December, 2025

Every society has a rhythm - how we work, how we’re paid, how we belong. Right now, that rhythm falters: the link between labor and dignity frays, and inequalities threaten communities. If we ignore this, we risk glorifying technology while overlooking its human cost.

Work shapes our days, communities, and sense of self. Thriving labor fosters …

Get a Human Is Dead: How Corporate Chatbots Broke Customer Service (On Purpose)

By Michael Droste — 22nd December, 2025

Customer service used to mean friction, yes - but it also meant resolution. You waited, you complained, you escalated, and eventually a human with authority fixed the problem. Today, that entire social contract has been replaced by a glowing chat bubble that smiles, apologizes, and quietly ensures nothing actually happens.

Corporate chatbots are …

Why AI Is Not Slop

By Michael Droste — 17th December, 2025

Calling AI “slop” is satisfying. It is blunt, visual, and emotionally accurate in moments when the internet feels flooded with junk. But it is also imprecise. AI is not slop. Slop is what happens when incentives, laziness, and scale collide with powerful tools. Confusing the tool with the outcome misses the real story.

The Hollywood - AI Nexus

By Michael Droste — 14th December, 2025

When Disney inks a $1 billion investment in OpenAI and licenses more than 200 of its iconic characters to the Sora generative-AI platform, we’re not observing a novelty - we’re witnessing a tectonic shift in the entertainment economy. The partnership signals Hollywood’s pivot from fearful resistance to strategic collaboration, even as unions and c…

AI Governance - What Should We Do?

By Michael Droste — 12th December, 2025

We stand at a crossroads. The machines we’ve built - powerful, seductive, unpredictable - demand a question more ancient than code: who watches the watchers? As generative and autonomous AI systems proliferate, our society must deliberate who gains, who loses, and how we anchor emerging power in human values.

By design, AI tends to amplify the …

Economic Inequality in Tech

By Michael Droste — 5th December, 2025

Economic inequality used to be hammered together with factories and farmland. Now it’s written in software updates, stitched into algorithms, and quietly reinforced by who has access to the right machine, the right network, and the right knowledge at the right moment. The new wealth gap isn’t just cash versus no cash. It’s bandwidth versus buffering…

The global funeral industry reached roughly $70.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to approach $98–100 billion by 2030. At the same time, the emerging digital immortality sector — AI avatars, holograms, and conversational replicas of the dead — has surged from $27.3 billion in 2024 to more than $31 billion in 2025, with projections nearing $54.5 bil…

When Will AI Take Your Job?

By Michael Droste — 1st December, 2025

Artificial intelligence is not creeping forward — it’s compounding. Each breakthrough trains the next one. As compute power, data availability, and model architecture accelerate, the pace of job disruption will not be linear. It will be lumpy, uneven, and brutally efficient.

Here is a grounded, evidence-based timeline of which specific jobs a…
