Only yesterday I was in a meeting where I was asked about using AI for a brands clothing range photography. I think I kept the swearing down to around 3 "f**ks" and and still got my thoughts over clearly.
Once again, I have been asked to give a conference talk about AI. Once again, I ask how much I am allowed to swear on stage.

'The Hermit' from my Tarot inspired designs for Peter Carpenter's 'Bowieland'. We walked the landscapes and places of Bowie, met many people and many ghosts.

I'm with Jeff on this one.
Just a reminder that I block anyone who uses generative AI. Nothing personal. You're just an ass.

Corporations invaded the net, took it over and turned it into an accelerationist nightmare. But they are ignoring the real world in the process. They believe they are leaving it behind for something abstract and better.
Let them take the net as long as we can take back the real world.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*
I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?
It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?
