Watched a Ghibli film with my niece today ❤️. Based on her drawing, can you guess which one it was? #Ghibli #Anime #Animation

My niece gifted me a book, which I asked her to sign, and it is now the most precious possession I have in the entire world.

AI has made its way into the mainstream around 3 years ago, and is now a main driver of the economy. The promise was that it was going to empower workers. So my question is: From your experience, in what industries / sectors, if any, has AI led to worker empowerment and hasn’t led to mass layoffs?

Attention #artists! Stop guessing your hourly rate. If you need $2,760/mo to survive, but you only do "deep work" for 20 hours a week... Charging $25/hr means you are slowly going bankrupt. Here is the math. 🧵

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

The sheer audacity of promoting AI slop, created by means of wildly unethical exploitation, as lovingly created art, and even ripping off copyrighted Disney character designs for their campaign, and hawking all of that under the guise of "inclusivity" and "togetherness" is truly mind-boggling.

Yet another case to add as proof to that the MIT Report about GenAI not actually being this amazing company productivity booster Techbros keep praising it for.

There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Had the pleasure to work with Historisches Museum Basel to create several 3D reconstructions based on late Celtic artifacts from a spectacular find in 2010 in Basel. The exhibition is titled Treasure Hoards - Hidden, Lost, Found and will remain open until June 2026. #archaeology #history

Installation with several late Celtic artifacts being displayed. Three screens show the process of lifting the feature out of the ground, excavating the artifacts from the block, as well as an animation with 3D reconstructions, depicting the original positioning of the objects within the feature, as well as what they might have looked like when they were in use.

Here is my main opinion on AI, in every capacity: What is the point of technology? Is it to make our lives better and easier, or is it to make a very small percentage of people richer? The latter is what AI is doing. The people actually doing the coding are making themselves redundant.

Remember how aggressively NFTs were pushed a few years back as revolutionary and empowering? 5 years later and they've disappeared, while having been outed as a scam. It profited the few while ruthlessly exploiting the many. Today, AI is being aggressively pushed as revolutionary and empowering.
