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.

I'm trying out this new method for productivity where I reward myself before doing a task. It's called preward and it 100% doesn't work.

Great infographic on the various processes and problems regarding the current AI infrastructure. By studio Taller Estampa. tallerestampa.com/en/estampa/c...

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. 🧵

My cat has made it a habit to occupy my reading chair from 8am (when I start my work day) to around 3pm, and will protest loudly if he isn't allowed to access it.

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.

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

For my holidays, I'm going to get up early, leave my mobile phone at home, go to a book store, purchase entirely too many books, then go sit in a cosy café the whole day, drink tea, and read.

We currently have a stock trading game online, where participants get to invest (fictional) 100'000 CHF into shares of their choice. There's a (real) 10'000 CHF price money for the winning portfolio. It's a great way to learn about the market or compete with other traders. boersenspiel.fuw.ch

Hey Stephen Miller, stop quoting Joseph Goebbels word for word. It doesn’t help your case.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Politics is the UI to the source code that is the economy.

What an expertly called shot

Same vibes

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

Please stop speculating about whether or not Trump is dead, and just let RFK Jr. treat him.

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.

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

Can't wait to reveal more about this project soon. It has been in the works for the past half year. #archaeology #history

Quickly made a massing (leaving off stair turrets etc and Canute's rotunda for now) of Bury St Edmunds Abbey, long overdue for my English Romanesque Cathedrals project. Mostly following the elevations of the English Heritage project of 2022.

Friends of mine are releasing their new game soon. If you like cosy and whimsical vibes, with the slightest breeze of melancholy, this should be right up your alley. #Herdling

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.

If Trump had been the captain on the Titanic, he would have fired the guy who had spotted the iceberg, and told the crew to stay on course.

TFW your infographic is faulty because the data, that served as a basis, turns out to be bad. #dataviz #infographics

The reality is that science and data aren’t going to change the world if you can’t communicate them effectively. You have to be able to talk with laypeople. You need to know how to write, how to argue, how to preempt and rebut and redirect. You need humanities training!
