Sciatháin leathana
Eitilt gan fhuaim
Seabhac sa choill

bosca poist dearg
ag seasamh
i gceo na maidine

le rud ar bith

titeann sneachta
liom féin sa bhothán
cuirim sios tine

Just saw that a physical painting done by an AI robot sold for £1m at auction and it would be neat if they could start using robots powered by AI to actually help people and make life better for humanity instead of focusing on high-tech parlour tricks to get rich

A picturesque view of Atlantic Ireland. But if your eyes are open, there's so much to read here.

The lone hawthorn is a remnant of the preexisting rainforest, + the growth atop the boulder is on soil created by that ecosystem.

Farming essentially mines the nature it pushed out. 🌍
