Tawny frogmouth & chick. The local council has been clearing willows from the rivulet, but has left this one which has a tawny frogmouth nest. Frogmouths are usually hard to see, but the chick hasn't quite worked out the 'being still' bit. #Hobart #Tasmania #BirdPhotography #AustralianBirds #Birds

I recommend returning your marked ballot in a local dropbox rather than via USPS if your jurisdiction has those option. (This requires that you be present in your home area; dropboxes from other counties won’t generally ensure you ballot will be received and counted).

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good."

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

The Tamagotchification of AI

Other people’s AI outputs often feel strangely hollow. Silicon Valley has figured out how to bind us to our increasingly personal chatbots, digital “pets” we are meant to keep feeding with our data.

A 1924 map of interurban (light rail, but for both freight and passengers) service around Kansas City. There's 8 lines and easily well over 100 stations stretching from St. Joseph, MO to Olathe, KS, and Fort Leavenworth, KS to the start of the Oregon Trail in Independence, MO, and from Excelsior Springs, MO to Lawrence, KS.

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."
