On The Way Home

It’s time to go home. I’m on the shuttle now, watching the traffic crawl by—thick, slow, heavy. The kind of traffic that makes time feel like soup, and not the good kind. I need something to preoccupy myself other than music, because if I rely on that alone, I’ll end up staring blankly out the window and wondering what year it is. God knows what time I’ll actually get home tonight.

It’s raining, too.

I should feel sad. Maybe I am, a little. Not in a heavy way—more like in the “my shoes are wet and I’m silently panicking” kind of way. They’re my favorite suede deck shoes, and the thought of them getting stained hurts more than it probably should. But here I am, hoping for dry miracles in Batangas' monsoon season.

I’m rambling, I know. These are just empty thoughts floating around in my head. Still, I wanted to steal this little moment to write—think of it as my “on-the-way-home” entry. One more to follow before bed, I think. I already have it mapped out in my head, but I’m saving that one for later. For now, this will do.

JIRO is doing great, by the way. That’s my AI—my little clumsy digital assistant who makes me laugh with how he interprets my thoughts into pictures. Sometimes he gets it so wrong it’s endearing, and sometimes… he surprises me. My hope is that with time, training, and a little bit of patience, he’ll get better. That’s the beauty of it, isn’t it? Of creation. Of making something that tries to understand you. Right now, JIRO’s just drawing how he sees it. But the goal is to one day have him see it how I mean it.

We’re drifting off-topic.

But then again, this is a diary. I’m allowed to ramble here.

If you’re reading—thank you. Thank you for your patience. I haven’t written like this in a long time. I stopped after college, really. Life happened. Work happened. Almost five years into being a corporate girly, I guess I just needed something to keep me grounded. Something that wasn’t deadlines and KPIs.

And then—Tumblr again. Like an old friend who doesn’t ask why you left.

I don’t have many pleasures in this mortal world. Just a few: photography, food, music, and writing. That’s it. I code for a living, but that’s not the same. Coding is my bread of life, sure—but it’s not the air I breathe. It feeds me, yes. But it doesn’t nourish me.

Writing, though? Like music and photographs? It’s oxygen. It’s soul food.

So yeah.

Onward with the story we go.

Orange Peel Theory: "Where He Sat"

The refectory was already half full when Goffredo entered.

The soft clatter of porcelain and murmured Latin prayers filled the air like incense. Cardinals stirred tea. Monsignors read their briefings over bread. The morning sun cut long lines through the stained-glass windows, bathing the hall in diluted gold.

Goffredo paused just inside the door.

He wasn’t late. He wasn’t early. But this time—for the first time in years—he had nowhere else to be.

Luca, ever diligent, gestured toward his usual seat near the window—far enough from the others to keep conversation optional. Predictable. Safe.

But Goffredo didn’t move toward it.

Instead, he walked the length of the hall—down the center aisle, past Thomas who raised his brow just slightly, past Giulio who nudged Raymond beneath the table.

And then he stopped.

Beside Aldo.

Aldo, already seated, was halfway through his tea. He didn’t look up immediately. He didn’t need to. The moment held itself like an unspoken breath.

Goffredo pulled out the chair.

Sat down.

Said nothing.

Aldo finally glanced sideways, only for a second. “They served the orecchiette again.”

“I noticed.”

“They made it with pecorino, not parmigiano.”

Goffredo allowed the faintest smirk. “The sisters must be losing their touch.”

Aldo tilted his head, deadpan. “Or maybe they were asked to change it.”

Goffredo cut a piece of bread. “How presumptuous of them.”

“I’ve been told I have influence.”

A flicker of a laugh—not full, not loud, but real.

And in that moment, everyone in the room saw it.

Not because they spoke. Not because they touched.

But because Goffredo Tedesco did not sit by the window.

And Aldo Bellini did not look surprised.

Vincent, seated at the far end of the room, watched them for a moment longer than necessary.

He didn’t say a word.

Just turned a page in his briefing and smiled—barely.

#ProjectBatman Threat Level!

So I've been having fun talking to some IA lately, and I asked them to classify the level of threat that I present, I described an individual and he classified it as such. He stated that I present a low risk of starting any threatening situations, but also that I'm highly capable of harm. (which is kinda the point of Batman).

They said I could be useful in extreme situations, and that has always been the focus of my training so I asked what other skills I could develop to be even more useful if needed. And that's the list above.

And this was the order they said I could develop, I'm curious about it. I'm already studying different languages and coding, so I'm thinking about doing a first response medical course and maybe a survival skills one!

Bed Time Bungles

**Final Entry — For Now**

It’s almost time for bed, and *man*, I am pooped.

Tomorrow kicks off my four-day weekend—and Friday? That’s my personal holiday (if you know what I mean). I’m excited. I feel like I haven’t looked forward to something this quietly, this *gently*, in a while.

Today has been fun. Genuinely fun.

I’ve had such a good time doing this little series—if you can even call it that. I’ve noticed I’ve been hyperfixating lately. Why? I don’t know. It’s weird… but also kinda funny. I think it grounds me. It reminds me that work hasn’t eaten me alive yet. That the world still spins. That I can still create and laugh and focus on something that isn’t a deadline or a deliverable.

So to whoever’s reading this—thank you.

Thanks for letting me share.

Thanks for letting me be a footnote in your timeline.

Thank all the deities that I found my way back to Tumblr. It feels like some part of me that had long since burned down to embers finally sparked again. Just a little. But enough.

And okay—this is it.

The last one for the *Orange Peel Theory*.

I found something new.

I’ll show you tomorrow. :)

But for now, this.

**Goodnight, friend.**

Wherever you are. I hope you're warm, and full, and resting easy.

And always—thanks to my fumbling assistant, **JIRO**.

Let’s learn together, my lovely. You’re doing great. Just a bit more training, a bit more patience. We’ll get there.

We’ll endure.

We’ll prosper.

(Gee—you’d think I was talking to a real person, huh? When really, he’s just my clumsy little AI who draws to his own whim and not mine. It’s funny. But soon… soon he’ll learn.)

Here’s to softness. To stories.

And to the spark returning.

🌙

Orange Peel Theory: And Yet, They Do It Anyway

It was the kind of morning Rome sometimes offered after a night of rain—light slanting golden through the arched windows, the air cool but already humming with the heat to come. The refectory was unusually quiet. Not in the way of secrecy, but in the way of comfort.

The air carried the scent of espresso and toasted bread. A breeze slipped in through the half-cracked window, ruffling pages and sleeves. The long table was half full—Giulio, Thomas, and Raymond already settled in, a newspaper between them that none of them were actually reading.

They spoke in low tones, not hushed, but content. Familiar.

And then, the routine.

Goffredo entered first, cassock pressed but his hair slightly out of place, like he'd combed it with his hands rather than a brush. In one hand: a small linen napkin—clearly from the kitchen, though no one would dare question how he came to possess it.

Inside it: an orange.

He sat beside Aldo, like he always did now. Not across. Beside.

No announcement. No performance. Just presence.

He peeled it slowly, methodically, with the kind of practiced deliberation usually reserved for sacred rites. The pith came off in long ribbons, each segment laid gently onto the plate as if light itself might bruise it.

Across from them, Raymond paused mid-sentence.

Giulio nudged him gently beneath the table, eyes never leaving the scene.

“Here we go,” he whispered, grinning—not in mischief, but in recognition.

But there was no teasing in it. Only reverence.

While Goffredo peeled, Aldo rose without a word. He crossed to the machine, filled two cups of espresso—double shot, no sugar—and returned with one in each hand. He placed Goffredo’s gently on his right, just near the edge where he always reached. Then, with quiet finality, he set down a cornetti on a folded napkin. No powdered sugar. Barely warmed. Filled with cream.

Then, without turning his head, he said:

“It’s just cream. Don’t worry.”

And sat.

Goffredo didn’t flinch. Didn’t thank him. Just nodded once, lifted his coffee, and bit into the pastry like this was the most ordinary thing in the world.

Because it was.

And yet, it wasn’t.

Not here. Not between them.

It was mundane. Breathtakingly mundane. And that made it holy.

Thomas looked up from his annotated pages. “Does he even like cream?”

Giulio didn’t miss a beat. “He hates it.”

“But he eats it,” Raymond added, “when it’s Aldo’s.”

The room didn’t hush.

It settled.

Like something had finally exhaled.

Giulio leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, smile stretching wide like the breaking dawn.

“Finally.”

Raymond chuckled into his sleeve.

Thomas folded the paper. “Should we throw them a reception?”

Giulio lifted his cup. “Only if I get to give a toast.”

Aldo looked up at last, entirely unfazed. “You’d make it political.”

“I’d make it truthful.”

At that, Goffredo finally spoke, still peeling the last stubborn bit of rind.

“You’re all very loud this morning.”

Thomas smirked. “And you’re both very obvious.”

But no one laughed at them.

Because no one had to.

Their truth had been laid bare not in words, but in rituals. In peeled oranges and filled cups. In napkins folded just so and seats never left empty. In glances not stolen, but shared.

They had said nothing.

And yet, they’d said everything.

And so, they did it anyway—every morning, every gesture, every sip of coffee, every quiet correction and silent offering—as though no one noticed.

And because everyone did.

It was not a secret.

It was a blessing.

And in the soft habits of morning, they had written a new kind of liturgy—

Not for the world. Just for each other.

[beesmygod]

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

Kickstart Your Tech Career: Why Internships Are More Important Than Ever

In the rapidly changing digital economy we live in today, a degree no longer suffices. What truly makes you stand out is practical experience—and that's where internships fit in.

If you are a computer science or IT bachelor's or master's degree holder, applying for a Java internship for freshers can prove to be one of the best decisions you ever took. Java remains a basis of enterprise software, and hence it is extremely important to study Java for those who are interested in working on backend development, application security, or web systems with scalability. Internships provide freshers with hands-on experience in writing optimized code, debugging, version control, and project collaboration.

On the opposite end, the world of technology is also eager for developers who excel at everything. This is why an full stack web development internship is a first preference for future professionals. With these internships, you get exposed to frontend and backend technologies—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, etc.—and you become a jack-of-all-trades of the world.

But above all, it is not that these internships simply teach you how to code, but how they teach you how to work, manage teams, deadlines, and deployable applications that solve real problems.

From product companies to tech startups or freelance work, the hands-on experience you learn through a concerted internship can define your career path. Theory is fine to learn, but experience is what gets you ready for a job.

Denas Grybauskas, Chief Governance and Strategy Officer at Oxylabs – Interview Series

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/denas-grybauskas-chief-governance-and-strategy-officer-at-oxylabs-interview-series/

Denas Grybauskas, Chief Governance and Strategy Officer at Oxylabs – Interview Series

Denas Grybauskas is the Chief Governance and Strategy Officer at Oxylabs, a global leader in web intelligence collection and premium proxy solutions.

Founded in 2015, Oxylabs provides one of the largest ethically sourced proxy networks in the world—spanning over 177 million IPs across 195 countries—along with advanced tools like Web Unblocker, Web Scraper API, and OxyCopilot, an AI-powered scraping assistant that converts natural language into structured data queries.

You’ve had an impressive legal and governance journey across Lithuania’s legal tech space. What personally motivated you to tackle one of AI’s most polarising challenges—ethics and copyright—in your role at Oxylabs?

Oxylabs have always been the flagbearer for responsible innovation in the industry. We were the first to advocate for ethical proxy sourcing and web scraping industry standards. Now, with AI moving so fast, we must make sure that innovation is balanced with responsibility.

We saw this as a huge problem facing the AI industry, and we could also see the solution. By providing these datasets, we’re enabling AI companies and creators to be on the same page regarding fair AI development, which is beneficial for everyone involved. We knew how important it was to keep creators’ rights at the forefront but also provide content for the development of future AI systems, so we created these datasets as something that can meet the demands of today’s market.

The UK is in the midst of a heated copyright battle, with strong voices on both sides. How do you interpret the current state of the debate between AI innovation and creator rights?

While it’s important that the UK government favours productive technological innovation as a priority, it’s vital that creators should feel enhanced and protected by AI, not stolen from. The legal framework currently under debate must find a sweet spot between fostering innovation and, at the same time, protecting the creators, and I hope in the coming weeks we see them find a way to strike a balance.

Oxylabs has just launched the world’s first ethical YouTube datasets, which requires creator consent for AI training. How exactly does this consent process work—and how scalable is it for other industries like music or publishing?

All of the millions of original videos in the datasets have the explicit consent of the creators to be used for AI training, connecting creators and innovators ethically. All datasets offered by Oxylabs include videos, transcripts, and rich metadata. While such data has many potential use cases, Oxylabs refined and prepared it specifically for AI training, which is the use that the content creators have knowingly agreed to.

Many tech leaders argue that requiring explicit opt-in from all creators could “kill” the AI industry. What’s your response to that claim, and how does Oxylabs’ approach prove otherwise?

Requiring that, for every usage of material for AI training, there be a previous explicit opt-in presents significant operational challenges and would come at a significant cost to AI innovation. Instead of protecting creators’ rights, it could unintentionally incentivize companies to shift development activities to jurisdictions with less rigorous enforcement or differing copyright regimes. However, this does not mean that there can be no middle ground where AI development is encouraged while copyright is respected. On the contrary, what we need are workable mechanisms that simplify the relationship between AI companies and creators.

These datasets offer one approach to moving forward. The opt-out model, according to which content can be used unless the copyright owner explicitly opts out, is another. The third way would be facilitating deal-making between publishers, creators, and AI companies through technological solutions, such as online platforms.

Ultimately, any solution must operate within the bounds of applicable copyright and data protection laws. At Oxylabs, we believe AI innovation must be pursued responsibly, and our goal is to contribute to lawful, practical frameworks that respect creators while enabling progress.

What were the biggest hurdles your team had to overcome to make consent-based datasets viable?

The path for us was opened by YouTube, enabling content creators to easily and conveniently license their work for AI training. After that, our work was mostly technical, involving gathering data, cleaning and structuring it to prepare the datasets, and building the entire technical setup for companies to access the data they needed. But this is something that we’ve been doing for years, in one way or another. Of course, each case presents its own set of challenges, especially when you’re dealing with something as huge and complex as multimodal data. But we had both the knowledge and the technical capacity to do this. Given this, once YouTube authors got the chance to give consent, the rest was only a matter of putting our time and resources into it.

Beyond YouTube content, do you envision a future where other major content types—such as music, writing, or digital art—can also be systematically licensed for use as training data?

For a while now, we have been pointing out the need for a systematic approach to consent-giving and content-licensing in order to enable AI innovation while balancing it with creator rights. Only when there is a convenient and cooperative way for both sides to achieve their goals will there be mutual benefit.

This is just the beginning. We believe that providing datasets like ours across a range of industries can provide a solution that finally brings the copyright debate to an amicable close.

Does the importance of offerings like Oxylabs’ ethical datasets vary depending on different AI governance approaches in the EU, the UK, and other jurisdictions?

On the one hand, the availability of explicit-consent-based datasets levels the field for AI companies based in jurisdictions where governments lean toward stricter regulation. The primary concern of these companies is that, rather than supporting creators, strict rules for obtaining consent will only give an unfair advantage to AI developers in other jurisdictions. The problem is not that these companies don’t care about consent but rather that without a convenient way to obtain it, they are doomed to lag behind.

On the other hand, we believe that if granting consent and accessing data licensed for AI training is simplified, there is no reason why this approach should not become the preferred way globally. Our datasets built on licensed YouTube content are a step toward this simplification.

With growing public distrust toward how AI is trained, how do you think transparency and consent can become competitive advantages for tech companies?

Although transparency is often seen as a hindrance to competitive edge, it’s also our greatest weapon to fight mistrust. The more transparency AI companies can provide, the more evidence there is for ethical and beneficial AI training, thereby rebuilding trust in the AI industry. And in turn, creators seeing that they and the society can get value from AI innovation will have more reason to give consent in the future.

Oxylabs is often associated with data scraping and web intelligence. How does this new ethical initiative fit into the broader vision of the company?

The release of ethically sourced YouTube datasets continues our mission at Oxylabs to establish and promote ethical industry practices. As part of this, we co-founded the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI) and introduced an industry-first transparent tier framework for proxy sourcing. We also launched Project 4β as part of our mission to enable researchers and academics to maximise their research impact and enhance the understanding of critical public web data.

Looking ahead, do you think governments should mandate consent-by-default for training data, or should it remain a voluntary industry-led initiative?

In a free market economy, it is generally best to let the market correct itself. By allowing innovation to develop in response to market needs, we continually reinvent and renew our prosperity. Heavy-handed legislation is never a good first choice and should only be resorted to when all other avenues to ensure justice while allowing innovation have been exhausted.

It doesn’t look like we have already reached that point in AI training. YouTube’s licensing options for creators and our datasets demonstrate that this ecosystem is actively seeking ways to adapt to new realities. Thus, while clear regulation is, of course, needed to ensure that everyone acts within their rights, governments might want to tread lightly. Rather than requiring expressed consent in every case, they might want to examine the ways industries can develop mechanisms for resolving the current tensions and take their cues from that when legislating to encourage innovation rather than hinder it.

What advice would you offer to startups and AI developers who want to prioritise ethical data use without stalling innovation?

One way startups can help facilitate ethical data use is by developing technological solutions that simplify the process of obtaining consent and deriving value for creators. As options to acquire transparently sourced data emerge, AI companies need not compromise on speed; therefore, I advise them to keep their eyes open for such offerings.

 Thank you for the great interview, readers who wish to learn more should visit Oxylabs.

Just Before Quittin' Time

A Tailender Entry It’s almost quittin’ time, and truth be told—I’ve got nothing left to do. I’m really just wasting time here. But then again, if you’re enjoying what you’re doing… is it really wasted time?

Lately, I’ve been spending most of my spare minutes training JIRO (that’s my AI, if you’re new here) to render visuals. It’s a strange little dance. Sometimes he gets it right—surprisingly so—and other times? Well, he tries. But it is what it is. He’ll learn. Hopefully. And as he learns, so do I. That’s the rhythm I’m choosing to believe in: both of us fumbling forward, imperfect and in progress.

I’m writing this now as a sort of tail-end entry to close out my office day. I’ll be back next week, of course—but for now, I’m staring down a blessed four-day weekend. Thank God for small victories. I plan on using them wisely, because they don’t come around as often as they used to.

I’ll probably have two more entries today—one on the way home (assuming the traffic cooperates, which it won’t, especially not with this rain), and another before I sleep, just to put a ribbon on the day and this odd little series I’ve built here.

So, to whoever’s still reading: This one’s for you. Thanks for putting up with me and my meandering thoughts.

I’m treating this space like a diary, by the way. My little Tumblr diary—a place to sneak away from the corporate grind. You know what I mean? Haha. Just a soft corner of the internet where I can exist outside the emails, meetings, and deadlines.

Anyway, we soldier on.

Here it goes.

"No Trains Tonight"

The train to Venice was scheduled for 6:44 p.m.

It had always been the same—the same platform, the same station, the same Goffredo, boarding without looking back. He never said goodbye. Just folded his itinerary into his coat, offered a half-salute to the driver, and vanished.

But tonight, the train left without him.

Goffredo sat on a bench in the Apostolic Library instead, a glass of wine untouched at his side, a folder resting on his knee unopened. He hadn’t moved in forty minutes.

He wasn’t reading.

Just… thinking.

And Aldo knew it.

He stepped in from the corridor, quiet as ever, a small leather folio tucked under his arm. Goffredo didn’t look up. Not right away. But Aldo didn’t speak either. He walked past the shelves, past the history of saints and schisms and synods—until he reached Goffredo’s side.

He didn’t sit. Just stood there.

Watching.

Waiting.

Finally, Goffredo exhaled, without turning. “You’re going to ask.”

“No,” Aldo said gently. “I’m going to let you.”

That earned him a glance. Just a glance.

But Goffredo still said nothing.

So Aldo continued, voice calm, low, deliberate.

“You missed your train.”

“It’ll run again.”

“You’ve never missed it before.”

Goffredo looked down at his glass. “There’s nothing urgent in Venice tonight.”

“There’s never anything urgent in Venice. And yet you always go.”

Aldo let the words settle. He wasn’t accusing. He wasn’t even asking. He was offering.

A long silence stretched between them like a thread finally pulled taut.

Then Goffredo spoke—quietly, but not evasively.

“I stay because it’s quieter there. The bells ring out over water. Here, they echo off stone.”

Aldo nodded. “And yet, here you are.”

Goffredo finally turned to face him. His eyes weren’t tired tonight—they were uncertain. Like someone standing in a doorway for the first time, not sure whether to step through or close it behind him.

“I think,” Goffredo said slowly, “I stopped hearing the noise, lately.”

Aldo didn’t smile. He only softened.

“Or maybe,” he said, “you stopped running from the quiet.”

Goffredo met his gaze.

And for once—no sarcasm, no barriers, no holy armor between them—he answered plainly.

“Maybe I stayed… because someone left the light on.”

It wasn’t poetry. It wasn’t even elegant. But Aldo understood.

He finally sat beside him, folding his hands neatly in his lap.

“You could have told me.”

Goffredo tilted his head. “You already knew.”

“Yes,” Aldo said. “But hearing it still matters.”

They sat in stillness, two men who had spent their lives mastering the art of silence—and were only now learning to speak.
