OpenAI’s most recent model, GPT-4, continues to defy expectations and demonstrate how disruptive it will be in our daily lives. An artificial general intelligence (AGI) arms race has begun—on both private and national levels. How it will affect us on a macro-level remains to be seen, and whether we will see this as the Borg […]

What Will AI Do?
In November 2022, OpenAI released a new program known as “ChatGPT” and has since generated a great deal of attention. Its ability to present compelling content beyond the literary uncanny valley has even garnered the attention of tech giants like Google – bringing into question what web2 will do in the face of yet another […]
Post-Holiday Thoughts on Blockchain Technology
“But Darek, you’re going to have to find a new job at some point. This [blockchain technology] stuff… nobody wants it.” I peered over the slightly tilted cup of coffee I was sipping at my mother-in-law. This was not the first time that she had expressed her concern over my professional interest in the industry. […]
Unexpected Days Off
Today, I had forgotten that my company, Atmos, was observing New Year’s Day – an unexpected day off. It felt a little like a snow day back when I was a kid, but there was one big difference: I wanted to be productive. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with taking time off to […]
Welcome Back – 2023
Well, 2022 was a hell of a year. Personally and professionally I grew a great amount. I traveled a decent amount and my organization launched some truly incredible things – with more greatness on the way.

On Work, Life, and the Balance We May Seek
So it’s been a little while since I’ve last posted. As I get settled in my new work, it’s been harder to find time to work on some of my side-projects – be it Wall Brew Co. or ETHNO-ISS. Mind you, I’ve loved my new job. I’ve learned so much already in the short few […]
The Future for Cryptocurrency
In a number of interviews I’ve had recently the same question came up: What is the future of cryptocurrency? It’s an intriguing question and I can only earnestly approach it with my community expertise. In my opinion, there won’t be a single “a-ha!” moment for crypto. Disruptive systems, particularly the ones that occupy similar spaces […]
Strategy vs. Tactics in Chess and in Life
Given the CV universal of demanding “Strategic Thinking” for any communications, content, or storytelling position, strategy is always top of mind. Rightly so, well-planned and executed strategy shifts paradigms considerably. However, from my experiences and those my communications peers have shared with me, it’s apparent that there can be some confusion about this terminology. Just […]
Guided Improvisation is an Important Life and Professional Skill
I know what you must be thinking from just looking at the photo: “He’s literally making booze in a bath tub.” You’d be right – partially. In the photo, I’m cooling unfermented beer in a bath tub. How I got to that point exemplifies the creativity and guided improvisation needed to accomplish tasks. So how […]
