Sometimes I sit and try to calculate what the future will cost me.
Today I watched a short video about how NVIDIA and Microsoft want to reinvent the personal computer. Not just make it faster - but turn it into something that talks to you, reads your files, plans your day, helps you create, and quietly works at home 24/7.
A language model and AI agents become part of the operating system itself. Instead of opening apps, you simply speak. The computer listens, understands, remembers, and acts.
On stage, Jensen Huang showed RTX Spark laptops, new desktops, and a DGX Station with 768 GB of memory for large models. He painted a picture of a home where every family has its own “supercomputer” - connected to cameras, appliances, security systems, everything.
It sounds beautiful. Almost like science fiction becoming furniture.
But the more I try to estimate the real price of this future - the hardware, the subscriptions, the upgrades, the electricity, the new ecosystem - the clearer one thought becomes:
the bigger the promised revolution, the bigger the hole in the budget.
Maybe we are not just buying a new PC. Maybe we are signing up for a new way of living and a new way of paying for it.
The question is not only whether I want an AI agent at home.
The question is: who will pay for it and how often will I be asked to pay again?

Today it feels like April 1st got quietly moved to October this year.
Access is still being restricted - not just to individual servers, but to entire countries and national resources - because of PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619). Two critical unauthenticated RCE vulnerabilities in the PHP engine itself. Many more providers and countries will probably do the same a bit later while they finish rolling out patches.
The hole is in PHP core. Ordinary users cannot fix it. Only the people who run the servers can - by updating PHP to the patched versions and restarting the workers.
Right now you can hear a lot of recommendations on how to “get out of this situation.”If you are an ordinary user and someone has already advised you to change your passwords everywhere and enable two-factor authentication, know this: none of it will be effective unless you urgently change your desktop wallpaper.

The best headline for this news story would be:
“A toy for the suicidal — rolling off the assembly line in just two years!”
Two carbon‑fiber high‑pressure air tanks inside the cabin: 600 liters total, about 250 kg of compressed air.
And when air is compressed, it heats up — add summer sun, a hot road, and two people inside…
What could possibly go wrong?

At this rate, I may need to add “learn Chinese” to my to‑do list.

For most of history, reality came first - and then we could see it.
Then humans began to draw what was, what was not, and what might be.
Now we create what does not physically exist - and make it look plausible: things that never were, and perhaps never will be.
This is dedicated to what may soon reach big screens:
Gods Don’t Give Gifts by Gossip Goblin.
And another question: do we see this as the distant past, like the light of far‑away stars, or is it the distant future, an unattainable fantasy, or a parallel reality?
Seeing it, thinking about it, empathizing with what happens - we inevitably move it from the realm of simple fantasy into reality.

Major studios are moving on AI.
But they are moving with one hand tied.
Netflix, Sony Pictures and the other big players are trying to adopt generative tools while remaining bound by union contracts, legacy pipelines and the need to keep human performers at the centre.
The result: studios can experiment, but full creative freedom with AI remains restricted.
They see the cost and speed advantages. They are investing and hiring. Yet they remain constrained by contracts, public opinion and the old production model.
The pressure is real.
