Over the years I've moved away from photography as a creative practice and found myself returning to physical making in wood, found objects and now textiles. I realise now that photography began to lose its attraction for me when it stopped being a physical practice.

I can guarantee that the first person in any meeting that says "is this something we could do with AI" knows nothing about AI and even less about the job role they are suggesting it can replace. #ai #fuckai

Sick of consecutive governments going on about the importance of UK creative industry (its bigger than car and steel put together) then screwing it over at every opportunity.

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

When I see and app saying it is now incorporating "AI technology" it usually means it now doesnt work at all, or at the very least is more frustrating to use.

When this is all over, every single person who voted for and enabled him should be forced to pay reparations and make a daily apology to the rest of the world.

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.

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.

Peter Carpenter talks to Ryan Murdock about Bowieland on the Personal Landscapes podcast. Discussing how the book came about and some of the many places we walked in search of Bowie. #booksky #bowie www.personallandscapespodcast.com/p/peter-carp...
A colourful collage of painted surfaces, text, photographs and ephemera. An image of David Bowie as the Thin White Duke emerges from the smear of colour and imagery.

I think its definitely time for France to ask for the Statue of Liberty back. Actually, at this rate she may just walk home.

Props to the three young lads having a beer outside a pub on Tottenham Court Road who enthusiastically beckoned over a bloke draped in a St George flag only to tell him “Fuck off out of our town you fat fascist fuck.” Swelled with London pride.

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.

The other night I had a dream about kicking around an off season British holiday camp with David Lynch. The next morning I walked down a local side street to avoid the crowds and saw this on a fire exit. A pleasing synchronicity. #hastings #stleonardsonsea

I personally think the only way to cope with the massively accelerating wrongness of the world is a sound understanding of fairie lore (specifically circa 1400-1700). This will help: shwep.net/oddcast/samu...

Rewatched 'Prometheus' (2012) and was struck that the android David's use of Peter O'Toole's interpetation of T.E Lawrence as the basis of its 'personality' is very much like todays LLM's stealing their identity from already existing creative works. Wearing it like a mask.
