#OTD 45 years ago (7 Oct 1980) according to my diary, I drew these images for the Hitchhiker's Guide BBC TV series. Douglas Adams as both the ad exec and as Paula, the worst poet in the universe. I was 19 years old and having fun.

Eldest has just passed (after about a year) and it's given me a huge appreciation for how mind-bendingly difficult it actually is to start from scratch. I gave up any illusions of teaching him myself within about 5mins of him sitting in the driver's seat when I realised I didn't know where to begin!

The problem with AI is it’s a powerful pattern recognition system that works with our own internal pattern recognition system to produce a pareidolia machine

Today's music pick is a new song by @mrweebl.bsky.social (probably best known as the badger badger badger guy to his chagrin)'s band Savlonic. But he makes some really great songs and videos to go with them and this one is not getting the attention it deserves. youtu.be/hiDQXfR3chA?...

"The wallpaper was busier maybe, the world was browner, but essentially it was the same world, where telephones were answered with a string of digits and time flowed begrudgingly forwards like gravy."

You can use a buttercup to tell if you like butter or not. To find out if you like primates you need a chin pansy.

I spent some time with OpenAI's new AI video app Sora. Not just slop but ragebait, fake crimes and women splattered with white goo. The implications of all of this are horrifying.
