This was such a fun project the whole thing was done entirely in camera and the "sky" was video feedback thanks to pointing my old video camera at a CRT.

I think this is still my favourite photograph that I've ever taken.

Share it round if you feel like it I'm very proud of it c:

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning β€œAI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said β€œthere are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

Still image from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. An orange space creature wearing a green and orange snakeskin (sorta) suit sits smiling at the camera. His fangs are yellow and he is smiling, his ears are so large they are part of his ridged bald forehead. (It is the beloved/kinda gross character Quark.) All caps white text reads:

YEAH I'M INTO LLMS
LARGE LOBED MARTIANS

I believe gamers nexus are working on a Discord Alternates video which might be worth keeping an eye out for

Fluxer is one I'm keeping an eye on but it's still very much in its early days and I don't know much about the people behind the project.

A screenshot from the show Twin Peaks, showing a man driving a car while speaking into the recorder. He says "Diane, 11:30am, February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks."

A photograph of a screen playing the game Iron Lung (in particular the wreck of the SM-8) with a second screen below it showing an estimate of the time the titan submersible was due to run out of air (before it had been established that a catastrophic implosion had destroyed the submersible)

You can completely uninstall/disable copilot on Windows. Your system and local search will run faster afterward. www.howtogeek.com/how-to-rip-o...

I know more and more people who really think there’s genuine real-world potential to genAI, but even giving it the benefit of the doubt as a useful tool, all I can envision are miserable futures ahead. There’s a reason, I suppose, no one ever joked about β€œluxury automated space capitalism”.
