Midjourney - AI and ethics
Is it OK to take organic human artwork without consent and build a machine to create visual artifacts in the same style and expression? Is it OK to make money from it? Can we restrict access to it, or does it belong to mankind? Do artworks created by an AI have any value? Can only moral flesh-and-blood humans create art? Can AI be compared to a paintbrush or Photoshop, a tool used by the artist to create? Midjourney AI cover image prompted by AlieJules Today it seems we only have questions, n

Geoffrey Hinton on Superintelligent AI
Geoffrey Hinton is a British-Canadian computer scientist and cognitive psychologist. He is Emeritus Professor at the University of Toronto and has written a number of research papers on Large Language Models. Many refer to him as 'the grandfather of AI'. Hinton has been instrumental in shaping the core of modern artificial intelligence. However, following a decade-long tenure at Google, he is relinquishing his position to dedicate himself to addressing the emerging concerns he now harbors regar

YouTube player without cookies
The YouTube html5 player is loaded with the webpage when embedded using the script from youtube.com. Google also generously store 37 cookies on your computer - before the user clicks play. Not ideal for page speed nor privacy. Here is a way to show only the poster-image and title on page load and then load the YouTube player in 'Privacy Enhanced' mode when a visitor clicks play. This improves page speed, and limits the amount of tracking that YouTube and Google can do outside YouTube.com. Here

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 19/11/2023
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green looks out of the window - the sun has already gone down.
Green: Ooh! it's dark outside!

Green breezes past Blue, full of enthusiasm.
Green: Bedtime!

Blue stops Green by grabbing his tail. Green looks at Blue in disbelief.
Blue: Not so fast! It's 4 pm.
Green: How?!

Blue looks at Green, still holding him by the tail. Green lowers himself onto the ground in disappointment.
Blue: It's November.
Green: Aw.

Some of my favorite movies are Baraka & Human - raw cinema with nothing but images and music. The Swedish Fund for Congenital heart defects tells the story of the unimaginable this way - when your child is born with a congenital heart defect. A masterpiece of commercial filmmaking.

Ghost speed with Bunny CDN
Page speed is critical for user experience, bounce rates and SEO ranking. Using a Content Delivery Network we get faster page load globally and a reduced load on the server. Here's my solution for a self-hosted Ghost to serve images, javascript and stylesheets over BunnyCDN when you have access to nginx configuration. If you are not self-hosted there is another way of doing this where you point your domain to Bunny's CDN and use edge-rules to exclude URL's used for the Ghost admin interface. I
