Here I’m gonna post some ideas/design/concepts that it would be nice to create. This design is quite classic.
There are many theories about what power is and how it can be exercised, but here, I propose to reason about the power that each one of us has.
In world history class we had to read and present the content. I decided to use chatgpt to analyze the content of the text (previously I’ve read it…) and generate a json file that I could write on the database where h5p is installed (it’s actually a WordPress plugin).
As a person who always liked to read, and always wanted to be able to write well, I looked at the ChatGPT phenomenon, as something very interesting. Of course, I was shocked by how fast and precise it is, at the same time I’m so happy that I don’t have to write anything boring again!
Sometimes we worry too much about things. If you work, you work. If you study, you study. If you think… :/ From now on I’ll try to not think too much, I’ll post my projects here, trying to see what will happen using the most unbelievable things of our epoch: the network.
It was for me something obvious to mix History with blockchains, and I’m very happy that I’ve done it.
Sometimes it happens that we do stuff without wondering too much about the time we spend doing that thing. Sometimes it happens because we want to escape from something, and we do not realize how in that way we are walking on a way that is not the right one.
