“Of course it’s capable of spitting out a coherent and even enjoyable poem with the right prompting and finessing. Given that it’s been trained on thousands of years of human work, it would be embarrassing if it wasn’t" - Prof Luke Kennard on gen AI.

This month saw the 30th anniversary of the birth of Dolly. Probably the most famous sheep in history. I had a glorious star struck moment of seeing her earlier this month and @idea-leeds.bsky.social kindly let me write about it 💙🐑 open.substack.com/pub/ethicsun...

Happy Belated 30th Birthday, Dolly the Sheep!

This is where I guess in future I will say “if this stadium full of people watching D&D like a spectator sport is new and surprising to you, you’ll want to preorder my book next year from @mitpress.bsky.social to learn about the decades of creativity across many countries that got us to this moment.
