Seeing a lot of AI slop in newspapers lately, like this piece in the @theguardian.com. Editors need to do better. I’m conscious of being over suspicious, but it’s so painfully obvious when you see it. (Gold medal still goes to the Irish editor who ran an anti-AI article clearly written by ChatGPT.)

Thanks @michaelwaldron.bsky.social for a final tour of an empty and deserted @crawfordartgallery.bsky.social before it closes for several years for major renovations. It’ll be a major loss to Cork city while closed, but very excited to seeing it again in all its rejuvenated glory.
