I work on technical challenges in a library lab during the day but also am about languages, gamedev, accessibility, VR and a bit of AI. Quite like old Commodore computers too.

Can't tell whether I'm at that stage of life where new things often seem outlandish or whether it is actually bizarre that a significant new public policy concern is safeguards on artificial intelligence being thwarted by "adversarial poetry".

Computer scientists believe that soon every home will be able to have their own artificial intelligence machine on their own desktops (Source.)
A book that reads in block sans serif font, "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROJECTS FOR THE COMMODORE 64." The text is red, switching to gold for the words 'Commodore 64'. Cover bottom, a Commodore 64 - a light brown all-in-one microcomputer with dark brown keys - appears. In the center, a gold PCB in the shape of a human head radiates gold wires in the way wires might radiate from a chip, creating the silhouette of a head; in the center and neck of the head-shaped PCB, chips appear.

I know it's not the coolest thing to bring up and not many people seem to care, but my website is hosted in a local datacenter powered entirely by wind energy and certified under ISO-14001. So my #gameassets are a good choice if you care about the environment 🌲

Alan Kay in 1977 might as well have been talking about AI in 2025 (via @hrheingold.bsky.social)
Children who have not yet lost much of their sense of wonder and fun have helped us to find an ethic about computing: Do not automate the work you are engaged in, only the materials. If you like to draw, do not automate drawing; rather, program your personal computer to give you a new set of paints. If you like to play music, do not build a "player piano"; instead program yourself a new kind of instrument.

The problem isn't that we lack evidence. It's is that we've yet to develop the political will to do anything re: radicalization. Politicians benefit from the virality of outrage. Platforms profit from the engagement spikes that anger, fear, & conspiracy generate. So we muddle along while Rome burns.

Amongst all the fun of this it’s, once again, worth pointing out that I couldn’t convince a single university in the UK of the value of this sort of public history work or the benefits of a REF impact case study built around computer games and Lucasfilm. Worth reflecting on for academia I think. 🗃️

So many programmers are around today thanks to the colorful illustrations and clear language of the Usborne computer guides
Subroutines: "A subroutine is a sort of mini-program within a program..." "Suppose you had a robot helper whome you could program to run errands for you. If you wanted something from the shop you would have to give it precise instructions telling it how to get there. Every time you wanted the robot to buy something you would have to give it the same instructions. It would be much simpler to give the robot a shopping routine to tell it to refer to each time." From Introducing Computer Programming: BASIC for Beginners" by Usborne Hayes Electronics
