📌 Friday Mood Post 📌
🎭 Being raw is the new being polished.
🎙️ But what happens when even your vulnerability becomes part of the show?
You’ve seen the post:
“I burned out. I broke down. But now I’m back — stronger, wiser, more monetizable.”
The hashtags are real, the tears are well-lit, and the story hits all the right emotional beats.
In a world where authenticity is optimized for engagement, are we still being honest…
…or just better performers?
🚨 72% of our cloud is under American control! 🚨
With Trump’s return and his “America First” doctrine, our technological dependence is no longer just a commercial disadvantage – it’s a STRATEGIC TRAP closing in on us.
In this (very) long article, I share with you:
✅ How we have systematically CONFUSED infrastructure with software in our cloud strategies
✅ Why our French champions tear each other apart while the tech giants present a united front
✅ How our bureaucracy has SACRIFICED our most promising technological gems
✅ My proposal for a “DIGITAL EURO FOR CLOUD” with a precise 2025-2035 timeline
When Broadcom increased VMware prices by 300% (even 1050% for some), it’s not just a CIO problem, it’s OUR MONEY filling the gap while our public services operate on tight budgets.
The urgency to act has NEVER been more palpable.
Artificial intelligence is no longer content with just assisting us – it’s beginning to replace us, neuron by neuron. According to recent data, the proportion of artificially generated content in top search results has jumped 47% since January. A silent but radical shift in our information ecosystem.
While we gaze, fascinated, at the prowess of ChatGPT drafting our emails or Midjourney creating our visuals, a disturbing question emerges: are we delegating our most precious asset – our ability to think – with the same nonchalance as a teenager tossing dirty socks on the floor?
In this mood post, I invite you to an unfiltered reflection on this strange era where AIs flirt with each other through exchanged resumes, where experts denounce the dangers of a technology using presentations… generated by that very same technology, and where we’re slowly sliding toward our reconversion into “digital pets.”
While ChatGPT composes our emails, Midjourney illustrates our presentations, and other AIs code on our behalf, we find ourselves facing a fascinating paradox: never have we had such powerful tools to amplify our creativity, and yet, never have we seemed so vulnerable to the consequences of this amplification.
In my article “Ethical challenges and future perspectives of generative AI,” I explore this gray area where neither blissful techno-optimism nor paralyzing catastrophism is sufficient to grasp the reality.
In a world where our smartphones understand us better than our loved ones, where our virtual assistants listen without ever yawning from boredom, a new form of escape has been born.
When applications promise us “a girlfriend who understands you perfectly, without the complications of real life” for $200 per month, isn’t it time to question what we’re really trying to escape from?
From digital infidelity to virtual hugs, let’s explore together this troubling frontier where our creations become our favorite creatures… and where we risk becoming machines ourselves through interacting with them.
