Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 09/10/2026I can see now how the United States will end up in a situation where Trump will indeed declare a national emergency and take over the midterms. All it takes is people finally having enough of this dictator shit and a peaceful protest that turns (or gets turned) into a riot. 000

Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 09/10/2026that being said: great for people who bought a really expensive subscription because they thought it would turn them into good designers while all they actually did was crop pictures to social media formats.

Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 09/10/2026I'm all for messing with Adobe, but all these clones are missing the point: The issue never was a lack of alternatives, but if you use this in actual production runs, you don't wanna worry if there is a vibe coded import/export fuckup on page 208 of a file you're liable for. 100

Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 03/10/2026If you look at how stupid everything has gotten in the last years, I think the chances of humanity killing humanity vs. AI killing humanity are pretty much 50/50 at this point. 000

Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 02/10/2026So... humanity replaced human travel agents with web UIs to now replace web UIs with AI travel agents pretending to be human? And this is the best use case you can come up with for your AI bots? I don't think I am particularly interested in this version of the future. 020

Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 22/09/2026This is not even happening behind closed doors and yet, the American People are still asleep at the wheel. I don't get it. 000
Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 22/09/2026In the past days Trump has banned journalists from the White House, launched a White House app that tracks its users, put a military installation into another of his architecture plans, asked for the break-up of the International Criminal Court and announced potential war crimes in front of the UN. 100
Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 22/09/2026I wasn't really surprised by the stuff Donald Trump pulled off as a president. The lies, the corruption, the moves to suppress free speech, it is all very much dictatorship-101. What I underestimated is how much of it the American People would let him do to their country. 110
Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 20/09/2026The thing ppl don‘t notice with all the AI hype: AI isn‘t the solution for most problems in organizations of any kind. 90% is identifying and solving problems that have been there for years, and once identified, AI can be useful to resolve them faster. Old Problems, new tech. No magic: babysteps. 010
Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 16/09/2026„Did you do your market research“ is probably something people working in crypto/blockchain should ask each other more often. Never seen so much money wasted on products nobody wants or needs. 000

Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 04/09/2026Looking at Musks new touchscreen car and given how tired I am of interacting with the world through glass panels all day long, I can see the sci-fi movie future where the hero rides around in a muscle car, because it reminds him of better days when we used to _actually_ touch things and it mattered. 000
Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 04/09/2026AI needs regulation, there is no question about it. If you read the latest incident reports and research, it is quite obvious that this tech has been put into production way too quick with very little understanding of the risks attached to it. The AI Hypetrain driving the convo will not end well. 010

Mad Orkestra @madorkestra.com · 26/08/2026Hot take: I think AI in real estate got it all wrong. I wanna see the real thing and throwing ideas what to do with it around in my head is part of the whole experience. Generic AI renderings ruin that part completely and I actually stop looking at listings. 000
