Wracam z #eurocon2026 w Berlinie. Trzy tematy wracały uparcie, prawie na każdej prelekcji i panelu:

  • Chiny, ich wpływ lub autopromocja w Europie (której tutaj też było sporo)
  • ejaj, na wszystkie sposoby - od niezrozumienia tematu, przez awersję, przez wykorzystanie praktyczne do wstępnego przesiewania danych, po hurraoptymistyczne wizje (też oparte na niezrozumieniu tematu )
  • Elon Musk i kolejne zepsute przez niego "collective commons"

Konwent sci-fi i fantasy, ale jak widać niektóre tematy przesiąkają teraz każdą dziedzinę życia. #MetropolCon #eurocon

„The bar for utopias is quite low nowadays. If you get through the book without a mass extinction event it’s a utopia!“ (Kim Stanley Robinson) #Eurocon #Eurocon2026 #Uropia #Writing #SciFi

Today at #Metropolcon2026 I was allowed to give an update on what’s possible with AI and which uses are better ideas than others. In the afternoon I had the honour to be on a panel with Neil Clarke, Mikko Rauhala, Cora Buhlert and Sheri Singerling: Generative AI and Publishing - A Bad Mix? #AI #GenAI #Publishing #Writing #Translation #AuthorBusiness #Publishers #Metropolcon #Eurocon #Eurocon2026

After a quite chaotic try to participate in a workshop session on cross-border-cooperation (after the second (or third?) group split I gave up), I‘m now seeing quite an interesting panel on #SciFi and #Philosophy. Back to the roots for me. =) #EuroCon #MetropolCon #EuroCon2026 #MetropolCon2026

And now a session on bilingual writing. I‘m curious how others do it (and if there’s a way to be quicker - without using AI). #MetropolCon #metropolCon2026 #EuroCon #EuroCon2026 #writing

Another interesting discussion here at #MetropolCon #EuroCon with @t_matam_t@det.social, Anette Schaumlöffel and Mary Stormhouse on Hero*ines in Utopia - what to do with loner protagonists in community-positive stories? #writing #utopia #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026

Early morning on day 4 at #MetropolCon #EuroCon. „Looking back to go forward: humankind's past as source of credible ideas for utopian SF“ by Anette Schaumlöffel will start in a few minutes. I‘m very much looking forward to this. :) #SciFi #Writing #History #Utopia #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026

We'll be playing at #MetropolCon aka #eurocon on Thursday evening. https://metropolcon.de/ We are super excited. And even prepared englisch subtitles for our german lyrics. I programmed a littly python thingy for that. So fingers crossed, that everything works. I even installed Tusky on my smartphone. Does this mean, I'm back here? Maybe, if you all behave. Anyway, feel free to ask / interact as you like. Here, or in person, if you meet me at MetropolCon.
