Woohoo!! 🎉 A brand new stretch of Cycleway 43 is open in Westminster - transforming Stanhope Place from a dangerous rat run into a safe link for walking, cycling & wheeling🚶‍♂️🚲 🧑‍🦽 Well done @citywestminster.bsky.social 👏

Once again: this is exactly what LLMs and chatbots are designed for. This is them doing their designed function. Mass production of meaningless text so someone who wants to do harm has cheap access to the aesthetics of justification www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

And here’s the eclipse photo from Artemis II. I am in tears.

Half of all agricultural land is used not for human food but for animal feed, ethanol and other uses. Grossly environmentally destructive and inefficient. New paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

A lot of YouTube oil painters are doing realist painting, which I forgot I hate. I hate realist painting! Thank god I’ve remembered

Graham Sutherland used oil paint the same way as gouache / watercolour and it’s given me permission to do the same

My RCA project was about defining rules for a comic and repeating stories within those rules, eg, a fly who dies in every story, with each story being six panels long. I feel very satisfied with this project and I wonder how I could apply the same ideas to painting

Instead of talking to an AI, why not talk to yourself in a Google Doc? AIs don't have the depth of your wisdom and intuition (yet) and even if they don't give you psychosis they can lead you down the wrong path

It's only worth going back to the Moon if it makes us look properly again at Earth, and appreciate how beautiful, precious and fragile what we have here is. The most famous images from Apollo aren't about the Moon - they're pictures of Earth. We need to stop taking our home for granted.

"...even a single interaction with sycophantic AI reduced participants’ willingness to take responsibility and repair interpersonal conflicts, while increasing their own conviction that they were right."

So funny that we still have to call the company "Meta" after they basically abandoned the VR pivot, like if Microsoft had renamed itself Zune

I'm doing this royaldrawingschool.org/courses/3-mo... (all of May and June it works out, part time on my job) and I am very very excited about it

"I strongly believed the roads had to be pedestrianised so that people could enjoy the riverbanks, and that once they were pedestrianised and people had that experience, they wouldn’t want to go back. And that’s what has happened"

like there is very literally a sign on the moon that says the astronauts came for all mankind

I don't think we should take sport more seriously than kindness and dignity towards humans

feeling feral so reposting one more time before the Hugos deadline when AI slop discourse is happening; for me "slop" refers not to quality of prose (humans write bad prose lol) but the soulless mush of art w humans removed, a sort of Excel AVERAGE of human thought & feeling, a sauce of no apples

Wonder if it would harsh the vibe to point out we're in World War 3 and the AI you cutely used for this panel is profiteering off that situation

Thanks to Brexit I pay an extra £30 to import the fancy German lovebird food (no, they don't like other food)

Did a project at RCA about fake meat and bones, and part of that was looking at forms of meat (sausage, burger, nugget) as a sort of design pattern for food. "A sausage is food shaped into a tube and cooked."

If plant-based foods must be more honest, let’s do the same for meat – fancy some ‘cow muscle’? | Deirdra Barr

As I get older I enjoy life more and thank fuck for that!
