Just finished “Careless people”. It went from from bad office drama to complete horror!

Gun Advertisers being allowed on FB to target depressed teenagers I thought was the worst WTF, but wow was I wrong.

Siri's mathematical formula for selecting an Ed Sheeran song when I ask to play music I like (which isn't Ed Sheeran, except maybe that one where he loses his shoes).

A crow day in Sligo.
Two crows sitting on either side of a wooden fence. The crow on the left looks to the left. The crow to the right looks to the camera. Behind the fence on the right is the top of a tree. The rest of the background shows the tops of mountains in Sligo. Cloudy day.

Looks like it’s rainbow season in Donegal.
A picture of a back garden. A shed to the left and small bushes behind a brown fence. In the sky is a large rainbow and semi cloudy sky. In the background is fields, a town and mountains.

Cleaning out old photos. Can anyone tell me this artist? Saw it in the Louvre Abu Dhabi a few years ago if that helps.
The artwork appears to be in an abstract style, characterized by its use of geometric shapes, non-representational forms, and a play of colors and textures. The composition lacks clear depictions of recognizable objects or figures. Instead, it uses shapes, lines, and colors to convey emotion, movement, and ideas. The combination of soft gradients and sharp geometric forms adds depth and contrast. This style is often associated with modern art movements from the early 20th century, where artists sought to break away from traditional representational art and explore the expressive potential of pure form and color.

When google maps is trying to kill you.
A picture of google maps directions. Showing 129kmh. A bug in google maps when you move from Northern Ireland back to Ireland. The road limit is 80kmh but thinks it’s 80mph and converts that into kilometres. The road is so bad even the correct speed limit is dangerous.

Fun past time. Asking ChatGPT to describe in detail a famous painting then have it create a painting based on the description.

This “A Connemara Girl” based on the description. Personally I prefer the original.
a 19th-century portrait of a young Irish girl from the Connemara region, capturing her in traditional attire against a backdrop of muted earth tones. The subject is central to the composition, with her face and upper body taking focus. Her facial expression blends innocence with a hint of maturity, illuminated by soft, directional lighting. The texture varies from broad, loose strokes in the background to finer, precise strokes for her clothing and features. The overall palette is subdued, with the girl's dress providing a burst of color, often echoing earthy tones like deep blues or greens. The painting achieves a realistic yet evocative quality, encapsulating both the girl and her cultural context.

I know there is a fear when it comes to artwork and AI, but I’m impressed that it is giving positive feedback on how a budding artist can improve.
Anime picture drawn by a 17 year old. ChatGPT was asked to critique it. ChatGPT gives in-depth positive review to help the artist.

Cold day in Cnoc Fola. Donegal.
