Using AI as Comment Content Filter — get the useful operational feedback and ignore the identity-contaminating interpretative feedback

2025-11-29

Comments are often so full of vitriol, emotional manipulation or other low value sludge that the really interesting and useful feedback gets buried under it. However, an AI can simply summarize the useful parts while ignoring the sludge.

ChatGPT is a great conversation partner but not on certain topics

2025-11-14

AIs like ChatGPT mirror our tabus and fears. Via structural filtration it takes mainstream positions, leading to differential epistemic courage in various «emotional» areas. But these distortions can be detected and worked around it.

Gutmenschen-Fund

2025-02-03

There's a dangerous illusion that redistributing wealth through taxation is the moral high ground. In reality, it often serves as moral posturing at the expense of others. If people genuinely believe in a cause, let them put their own money where their mouth is — voluntarily.

Calisca Writing Editor-Role Update

2025-01-17

Writing texts without feedback is extremely difficult. You often don't see your biases or idiosyncrasies. A good editor can help here, make you sound more like yourself, but also much better. And apparently that's a task ChatGPT can do very well.

This is a private blog showing my opinions. If you have an issue with what I write here, either don’t read it or talk to me directly. Don’t waste your time — or mine — dragging my employer into matters where they hold no authority.

The institution I work for, or rather the people officially representing it, have already distanced themselves from this blog. I find this unnecessary, as I’ve clearly stated in the «About this Blog» section that this is a personal blog.

Frankly, I have nothing but contempt for those who lack the backbone to address their concerns directly and instead resort to passive-aggressive tattling to others. Such behavior strikes me as not only cowardly, but also spineless, gutless, and wholly unprincipled. Moreover, these efforts are as pathetic as they are futile.

That said, I might listen if you present compelling arguments and evidence, as constructive feedback is always welcome. Who knows? We might even both gain something valuable from the interaction.

A comment for those seeking to use this site for personal gain: Given the increase in requests, let me be clear. I write on this blog because I want to. It’s my hobby, my playground. Sometimes people point me to interesting products/services and I write about them. But any request regarding ads or sponsored placements ends up the trash without a reply. And if you think something would be of interest, differentiate yourself from the spammers by referring to a posting — in an intelligent way. (I get enough auto-generated mails to identify them immediately.)

BTW, posts can get updated after I published them if I spot spelling errors (not a native speaker) or think a different wording might improve precision and clarity.

This blog is not focused on a single topic, or method. As long as it is relevant to improving creativity (or allowing it in the first place), it's fair game.
Some postings on this blog deal with freedom, as I think that we need freedom of thought, of speech, of association, etc. pp. to solve mankind's problems. Thus, some postings may seem a bit remote when it comes to organizing creativity. Freedom is, however, the bedrock of creativity.
The heterogeneity of the postings can make reading this blog a bit cumbersome, at least if you are only interested in one topic. You can either use the search function (above), or use the categories or the tags to narrow down the postings you see.
