There are still some places on my book illustration course, starting at @irishwriterscentre.bsky.social in Dublin next week! Join us to learn about visual storytelling! It's more about communication than creating pretty pictures, so it's suitable for beginners with basic drawing skills. #SpeirGorm

The promo card for the course, featuring a photo of me, a middle-aged white guy with glasses. The text reads: 'In person, 6.30-8.30pm. Book Illustration, Oisin McGann. 6 Weeks from the 6th of October.

People casually using genAI instead of their own creativity or capacity for thought genuinely feels like a huge values difference now, on a very fundamental level. We do not hold the same things to be important or worthwhile.

A cartoon of two gentlemen conversing over a garden fence. Behind one of them is his very, very large 3D carving that says "AI CAN GO FUCK ITSELF". The first gentleman is saying, "It's my large language model."

The Greens came under a lot of fire for the compromises they made in government, and got crucified in the election for it, but they did stick to their goal of driving Ireland’s action on climate. Now we’re finding out just how much FF/FG don’t give a shit about what’s happening. #SpeirGorm

The Orange Order have applied for a parade in Portadown ONCE A WEEK for the last 28 years. [via Reddit] #speirgorm #garvaghyroad paradescommissionni.flexigrant.com/downloadfile...

codingstuffonly
This guy's not wrong.
According to paragraph 9 of the Parades Commission's determination:
Portadown District LOL No. 1 have complied with each and every determination issued by the
Commission since [1998], of which there are over 1.300.
That's over 46 determinations from the Commission per year over the 28 years, almost 1 per week.
For 28 years. | guess the brethren of Portadown LOL No. 1 take a couple of weeks off every year for
Christmas, summer holiday in Benidorm, etc. Then they get right back to harassing the Parades
Commission. And it finally paid off.

Yesterday I demanded answers from the Minister about the Irish Government position on shocking proposals to give AI companies access to our personal data which are being negotiated right now on Ireland's watch. The public across EU want rights protected & more regulation of AI and big tech not less!

If reports are true that Irish players are being threatened that they'll never play for US owned clubs in the UK if they pull out of the Israel game, then that's a great argument for getting US money out of European football.

Walking in the wet woodland of Killaun in 2020, and accidentally kicking over a well rotted branch, and I noticed this tiny little fungi. When I looked at it through the macro lens I was blown away by its beauty. This is a Mycena species, the Dewdrop Bonnet @peatlandecr.bsky.social

New picture:

Ink drawing and writing on purple paper. A relatively simple one, this one. At the bottom we have a flat, stripey floor - white, pink, light blue, turquoise - with some dark blue hills in the background. Stuck in the ground, front and centre, is a sign - a square on a very long, thin stick - which says:
Caution:
Unspeakable beasts on the horizon.

Even without the ethical and environmental issues, cannot wrap my head around the uncritical use of genAI and the likes of ChatGPT - why would you want to outsource your cognitive ability, your own capacity for thought and reason and creativity? Why are people so unconcerned about losing that?

You can do this too, whenever you hear a minister make an unsustainable but unchallenged statement. Just make an FOI request for the documents the Minister surely has to support their assertion.

I've heard of 2 people who have gotten #Covid in the last 72 hours. Tested + I've not been in thier company but friends & me family have been. So mind yourself, #WearAMask on public transport, #GetVaccinated #keeptesting Any #Covid infection can push you into #LongCovid #spéirgorm

THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT
LONG COVID IS TO AVOID COVID
Wear the best mask you can Wearing a good mask like an N95 or better when in public will give you the best protection
Stay home and isolate if ill If you feel unwell isolate yourself from others until you are feeling better and testing negative
Test if you have symptoms Symptoms of Covid? Isolate and test. Repeat test while symptomatic and mask around others
Ventilate or meet outside Clean air is the best way to prevent spreading and catching Covid so make sure fresh air is circulating
Long Covid still has no cure There is no cure for Long Covid so the best way to avoid it is to take steps to avoid catching Covid
