Promptus AI is a new Generative AI System that I've been involved with some of the development of, it's now available in public and great fun to play with. It's not a new AI itself, rather it brings lots of facilities together in a very useful way.

This is an intro to a rather cool new AI art generating system, I've been using Promptus to create things like this image. While I don't think AI art will replace human artists for proper art, it's great for letting us non-artists play with creativity. youtu.be/Dsk3UHhnsQY?...

a headline reading "Jellyfish apocalypse not coming "
GODDAMMIT
BlueSky is a replacement for Twitter, not Facebook. But could this possibly be the long-awaited FB-vanquisher? Many have tried and failed before, remember Ello? But contenders are still worth looking at, given the never-ending crapification of FB itself.

Colours to the mast:
White privilege is a real thing.
Facts matter, true history matters.
Anyone has the right to seek asylum, and a better life.
There are more than just two genders.
Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Non binary identities are valid.
LGBTQ+ is entirely natural and normal.
I wonder if this will provide an option for the age verification they want to roll out to adult websites?
And given almost everyone carries a smartphone everywhere they go, and almost everyone has at least a provisional driving license, this will presumably be the end of needing to take your passport with you to get into a London nightclub.
Looks like ID cards are back on the agenda, though this time digital ones and possibly with some of the security howlers of the Brown-era scheme actually addressed.

I hadn't realised the LGBA had done this. Absolute snakes. Quite right, Jimmy.
This is basically a replacement for Twitter, not FB. Though FB for personal and here for public might well work.
Anyone following the farm protests is well advised to read this - in reality only the very richest estates will have anything to pay, and even they can dodge the tax if they pass their estates on to their heirs while still alive, and live another 7 years.

Screenshot of an Irish Times article from 2011 with the headline "University in talks with Egypt over future of ancient mummy"
Screenshot of an Irish Times article from 2003 with the headline "UCC keeping 2.3 tonnes of uranium in basement store"
The fact that UCC hid a 3000-year-old mummy under the floorboards of a lecture theatre on a campus where two and a half tonnes of uranium rods were being stored in a basement nearby and DIDN'T end up with a zombie-pharaoh apocalypse is both a mystery and endlessly disappointing
The vast space of the great parlour, a medieval style great hall, with gorgeous woodwork and stained glass windows.
The half timbered exterior, stunning Victorian craftwork.
Me standing on the great hall gallery.
The very cosy fireplace in the house library.
The weekend just past, Alice and I visited the stunning Wightwick Manor near Wolverinehampton. Utterly gorgeous Victorian half-timbeted fantasy, superbly well done. www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/birmin...

When the bicycle of long term thinking crashes head on into the oncoming juggernaut of political reality in a country where being uneducated is seen as a virtue & the hard right dominate because common sense, innit?

Just watched the Labour PPB. Starmer really hammering the boot into former Labour. I don't even remember Blair doing that, he was all "new, new, young, new", or at least that's how Spitting Image put it. Is attacking your own party really the best way to start? Also seemed somewhat dictatorial?
