Waldtier’s Blog)Books, poems, games and old AI videos.A lot of new stuff2026-08-20T21:53:47+00:002026-08-20T21:53:47+00:00/jekyll/update/2026/08/20/newstuffI’ve added a lot of new stuff. I’ve been editing the Consent Engines books hard, reworked most covers of the rest of the books. I’m closer to release some of them buit editing/reviewing still takes a lot of human time.I’ve added a Games section, where I’ll pu my port of old Amiga games, my new games etcetera. Reworked the books section. Added a Physic section (tied to some of my sci.fi books). I’m working on an AI section too for my actual research on some AI-related topics.

Bye!

]]>New book!2025-11-01T21:53:47+00:002025-11-01T21:53:47+00:00/jekyll/update/2025/11/01/newshortI’ve added a new book to the book section. It’s the first book of a new series: Consent Engines. I wanted to explore a far far future where humans are immortal and have a nomadic life through the universe, but with a twist: hard sci-fi only: so sub-light speeds and generational magsail-like ships.

I also have 4 other book in pipeline (I’ve added their covers in the section, they are WiP not final) two in the same universe as The Awakening and two in the Consent Engines universe.

If you want to give a little support to my efforts I’m putting these books on amazon too, where you can buy the Kindle or the physical copy.

Bye!

N°31 about hyper capitalism, N°32 about utopias and N°33, a cyberpunk take on the vampire mythos.
I’ve also been experimenting with text-to-speech technology using the OpenAI API, attempting to create an audiobook-like experience for some of my earlier short stories. You’ll find these audio versions at the beginning of selected stories from the first collection.
While AI-generated imagery has made impressive strides, my experience suggests the text-to-speech field still has considerable room for growth. The current results, while interesting, don’t yet match the quality and nuance of professional narration.
Happy reading (and perhaps listening),
