I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

Remember, most Americans don't even have a form of ID beyond this. As this report outlines, document control is a favorite way of authoritarians to strip people of their humanity. freedomhouse.org/report/trans...

The photo of the camera flying through the air is such a powerful symbol of the efforts to document the atrocities. I usually am dim on sofa activism. But when you share people's efforts to document the Minneapolis situation, you are helping. Share. Widely.

A foggy evening in Alishan, deep in central Taiwan. I decided to have some fun with negative space with this shot, as the clouds rolled around me. #taiwan #taiwantravel #alishan #fog #forest

Hozen-ji temple in downtown Osaka. Just a a few blocks off the busy Dotonbori canal, this little temple is an oasis of calm, and moss covered statues! It's good luck to pour more water on the little jizo's. #Osaka #Japan #Japantravel #temple

The massive stone ramparts of Osaka Castle. While the keep is more modern reconstruction, the foundations are original. And they really show what an impressive fortification this was! #osaka #osakacastle #japan #japantravel

Everyone who runs an LLM loves that they get to be the architect of entire human realities, but they love it secretly because they know how dystopian it is. Except Elon, he loves it loudly because his audience is super into how dystopian it is.
Elon on Twitter says: AI is obviously gonna one-shot the human limbic system. 

That said, I predict – counter-intuitively – that it will *increase* the birth rate!

Mark my words.

Also, we’re gonna program it that way.

A Fall shot from Eikan-do temple in Kyoto. One of my favorites, it's not huge with Western tourists, but is pretty popular domestically. It's a beautiful stop during any season, but especially as the leaves are turning. #kyoto #japan #japantravel #fall #autumn #temple

people who use AI as a replacement for thinking, learning and communicating should be shamed and punished. the same way we shame and punish drunk drivers, or people who negligently discharge firearms. it is bad to misuse tools in a way that damages society

The Democratic Party thinks they're the underdog baseball team at the end of the movie — but the movie they're in is All Quiet on the Western Front.
Democrats chant “Hakeem! Hakeem!” as he finishes his record-breaking speech with the words: “I yield back.” They are surrounding him on the House floor, cheering and lining up for embraces.

Been playing around with Adobes new Project Indigo computational photography app. It’s early days, but it is a neat little app for sure. Probably won’t shelve the Nikon though :-)

The ancient temples of Sukhothai, central Thailand. One of my favorite stops on my last trip to the region- beautiful architecture, fascinating history, and low crowds! #thailand #history #sukhothai #temple #travel #southeastasia

A mysterious alleyway in Kyoto. I love the narrow Japanese alleys, so many great restaurants or interesting shrines can be found at the end of an alley in Japan! #kyoto #japan #japantravel #travel #travelphotography

I figure for my first post, let’s go with something I love- so trains in Tokyo it is! This is a famous spot for train watchers, where several lines converge at Ochanomizu. #tokyo #trains #firstpost
