...um, so “None of this is earned - not the snow, nor the pines, nor the wind, nor the stars. All is grace. All is a gift." is actually HR Hess. Mine is the quote in the image. Oops! But both are from issue 2 of the Wanderer's Post magazine.

Thanks for sharing. Voted a hard no. It seems that the vast majority of users have. 👍

Thanks for sharing. I find this especially geekily cool given all the medieval manuscripts featuring deadly snail warriors!

Beautiful!

Thanks for sharing this. Guess the big question now is what's next? What sort of internet, dataverse and media landscape will there be after this whole thing blows up to kingdom come?

To under a bright moon
That’s where I wish I could be

Away from dreary nights
To under northern lights
That’s where I wish I could be..."

Loving to toadstalls and swing seat.

Painting of the Adventuremice - and a few other mystery characters - having a sunny breakfast along the branch of a tree. The book's title mentions the 'centre of the earth', so why is there sunlight, and a tree...?

Breakfast in the treehouse!
Artwork from my upcoming 7th Adventuremice book with @philipreeve.bsky.social & @dfbstoryhouse.bsky.social

The original ink & watercolour paintings from the book will go on sale on the evening of launch day, UK 9pm, Thurs 9 Oct…

...for the record, I weighed it myself. 1 piece of this paper is 8g. So 16 pieces of A4 paper would actually be 128g. So Google's AI got it completely wrong!

Am I being dumb, or is this not making any sense? Thanks, but no thanks, Google, I think I'll work this out for myself. I've mainly used DuckDuckGo recently, so it is interesting to see this. #AI #smallbusiness

Excellent points! It might partly explain why there has been such an uptick in mental health issues - we're struggling with life because we weren't meant to live at break-neck speed from behind a screen.
Also, at what point does it just become cheaper to just speak to a person than use all this AI?

Thanks! The Bluesky community networking site sounds interesting.

I wonder what's the current best alternative to Facebook? It does feel like a mass exodus will be on the cards soon, like Twitter last year, or MySpace back in the day. Just need a viable alternative🤔

Machine learning is only truly effective and efficient for a small number of tasks when done right.

Large Language Models in particularly are only good for a small subset of Machine Learning tasks.   None of these tasks are best done with a single monolithic "AI" machine.
