My daughter was annoyed that i generated a picture for my talk yesterday. Normally avoid AI generated images but it was a talk about vibe coding
@aifortherestofus.live
. So she drew me an alternative picture. This is a software developer that has replaced their keyboard with a tab button.

Back in the 90's I remember one particular winter in Edinburgh when I was starting University, next to Pollock Halls, and my god it snowed. It was like, proper Winter Wonderland stuff. Since then? Hmmphf. So, is it snowing less?

I’ve written to the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament about their transphobic toilet guidance with @goodlawroject.bsky.social. Join me and add your voice:

loading . . .
The Scottish Parliament must retract its transphobic toilet rules
The body that makes the rules for the Scottish Parliament has decided that trans people in Holyrood have to use the toilet that relates to their ”biological sex”. It’s humiliating, unworkable and legally wrong. This decision sends a signal – a message that trans people are not welcome in the heart of Scotland’s democracy. It’s unworkable. What’s the plan? Intimate inspections in the queue for the loo?

What if... now hear me out here.. what if AI is not a fundamental shift in the world order? And is merely a tool? An tool that's imperfect at times but useful some of time? And completely useless at other times? 🤯 Has anyone in our industry considered that?
