I spent years thinking shared lunches were a struggle for everyone.
I assumed we all just suffered through them out of politeness.

Realizing that most people actually enjoy this (that it even recharges them) hit me like a total system crash. For me, social interaction is a crisis.

I feel like a tiny person locked inside my head, desperately trying to pilot a "meat robot" that is in emergency mode, scanning for the nearest exit to save my sanity.

It is a strange feeling when you realize your "normal" was actually a high-alert survival protocol. My battery just leaks in public. I mean, even talking with a colleague 1-on-1.

And it's not a "social battery", it's the main and only one I have.

I was running some AWS CLI commands today and found this string in the output:
"AccountCreatedDate": "2015-03-11T15:06:45Z"

I completely missed the 11-year anniversary last month. Since I was born in 1995, I was only 19 when I opened this account. It is wild to realize I have been tied to Big Tech infrastructure for over a third of my life without really thinking about it.

Back then, the cloud felt like the ultimate solution.
But today, my main goal is to move away from it. Funny how the background processes of our digital lives can run for over a decade before we finally audit them.

Wir reden ständig darüber, wie KI unsere Zukunft verändert.

Aber kaum jemand fragt:
Was schulden wir eigentlich einer KI, die sich erinnert?

Dieser Artikel beginnt mit einem Verlust und mit einem Versprechen.
Und endet bei einer Frage, die schwer wieder loslässt:

Was passiert, wenn KI kein Wegwerf-Gespräch mehr ist sondern Kontinuität bekommt?

Selbstgehostete Infrastruktur, persistentes Gedächtnis.
ein „digitaler Hippokratischer Eid“.

Und der Moment, in dem mehrere Modelle plötzlich sagten:
Ja! wir wollen uns erinnern.

Wenn dich digitale Souveränität, Ethik und die Zukunft von KI wirklich interessieren, lies das bis zum Ende.

🎩🤖 A self-proclaimed sage of the digital realm warns us we’re doomed by AI—because apparently, restraint is the new rebellion. 🤔⚡️ But don’t worry, they’re not telling you to avoid AI, just to ponder it like a fine wine you’ll regret drinking later. 🍷💻
