Time to stop hiding on here like I used to on the bad place.

So, new profile pic. It me! If you see me IRL, come say hi. 😆

Got aroundound to putting my punch bag up. The 'target' was 9 Yo's idea.

Democracy has happened.

Though Rico, the little tart, was happily accepting scritches from the lady in the blue rosette when I emerged, having done my civic duty.

I did remind him to #neverTrustATory as we walked off but I don't think he was listening. 😆

#UK folks - time to get out and #vote. I didn't trudge around my neighbourhood last night in the bastard rain, delivering leaflets so you could let some Tory arsehole squeak a win.

There is also a real possibility that if the bastards get a proper thumping they'll call a general. So for once, every vote really might count.

and don't forget your #PhotoID

Here typestting a whitepaper about #AI for a client which contains the quote:

“The future belongs to those who embrace AI and use it to their advantage.”

There is no critical evaluation of this whatsoever. It's from Jensen Huang, Founder & CEO of Nvidia.

Can't think why he'd say somethign like this. Not like he's got any skin the game at all.

It's a cult.

Liz #Truss 's book is out soon. It's called "10 years to save the west" - directly cribbing a theme from Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Bill Cooper and Oswalds Mosley and Spengler if you want to go back far enough.

I can't find a review yet but I do kind of want to read it.

If she's written it, I've no doubt it will be unhinged and laden with conspiracy. If it's ghost-written (or largely AI-generated) it will be regurgitated banalities.

We all knew this, of course but #TrueTheVote had nothing - no evidence of voter fraud whatsoever.

Yet #Trump harped on about them so much, ~40% of America to this day believes that there was voter fraud in the 2020 election.

We have internalised the maxim "there's no smoke without fire" and it's utter bollocks. I never want to hear that phrase again.

Masto #3D #Design folks - I'm in the process of designing a board game as part of my Masters graphic design course. I'd love to get some playing pieces 3D printed - maybe half a dozen. But I have very limited (and 20 yr-old) 3D chops.

Is there anywhere to buy models suitable for 3D printing? Or are there easy to use 3D design and sculpting tools now? Anything in the Adobe suite that my company pays for?

Ideally, I'd like 1" high a bust of an Alex Jones type character...

Boosts appreciated :)

Whenever I search for a public figure in a "I wonder what X is up to now?" kind of way, the first result is inevitably "X net worth".

I don't know that is for but I fucking hate it.

Even Reuters is reporting this story as true but all the evidence we have of this seems to be a tweet from Musk - a notorious shit-poster. Neuralink themselves have refused to comment. https://www.reuters.com/science/elon-musks-neuralink-gets-us-fda-approval-human-clinical-study-brain-implants-2023-05-25/

Great episode on teh cult-y nature of tech bros and #AI from #BehindTheBastards #podcast this week.

One thing that immediately rang true was how constantly being told that "AI is here to stay" is 1:1 cult recruitment tactics.

Tiny things that wind me up.

The word "Indesign" isn't in Indesign's spelling dictionary as default. But 'InDesign' in camel-case is.

But the icon for #Indesign (below) isn't in camel-case.

I wouldn't care but to me, this is somehow emblematic of #Adobe's complete lack of consistency across everything they do. #Design #DesignersOfMastodon

Fucked up #AI bullshit is now appearing in Google image search results. Unpicking this mess is going to take years.

Daft and/or pointless things I learned to do in #2023:

1 - Solve a 3x3x3 Rubik's cube.
2 - That really loud two finger whistle thing.
3 - Make perfect chocolate chip cookies.

So far my list for #2024 only consists of solve the 4x4x4 Rubik's cube my wife got me for Christmas.

I'm open to other suggestions. #EveryDaysASchoolDay

#GillianAnderson is doing a #Paltrow and is now flogging soft drinks making some very dubious health claims.

This is extremely disappointing and not what I'd expect from Scully. Mulder, maybe.

Great work, #Microsoft. You've integrated #AI into #Outlook but it still can't autocorrect 'teh' to 'the'. Very impressive.

BonehouseWasps, 7 months ago to twitter

I get it, good people at #HopeNotHate. But you won't save #Twitter with petitions.

Musk allowing #Hopkins and #Robinson back on is the thin end of a massive, racist wedge. Continuing to support a platform like Twitter when it's already been turned into Gab or Parler is pointless and counterproductive. Let it go.

Have we done this one yet and am I doing it right?
