“It is attempting to solve a problem that wasn’t a problem before AI showed up" is ABSOLUTELY the defining quote about how AI gets rolled out in every use

What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer

A prominent beer competition introduced an AI-judging tool without warning. The judges and some members of the wider brewing industry were pissed.

Created in 1982-86, the polychromatic glass mosaics at TCR are the ‘Sistene Chapel of art of the Underground’, yet remain unlisted.

The thread about Dean Public School; “from the Three R’s to transistors”

Part six of the series of posts looking at "Lost Board Schools of Edinburgh" pays a visit to the former Dean Public School. Judging by the crowds of tourists on phones who gather daily in crowds outside, this must be one of the most Instagrammed of schools. I wonder how many stop for a moment to consider its history and its claim to a unique first in the story of education in the city. So let us take a moment for ourselves to do just that.

What policy themed visitor trail would you do upon retirement? I would pilgrimage to visit the 100 Rishi Sunak outdoor chess sets around the country. I genuinely think it would be one of those fun random things that would take me to places I’d never otherwise go to

Reading Thiel, Yarvin, Peterson et al. makes you realise what passes for intellectual iconoclasm these days is all absolute bollocks. Why anyone gives any of these people the time of day let alone credibility is baffling.

Runners - and their shadows - cross a sunlit stretch of the #ChicagoMarathon course in Pilsen.

Upside-down photo of runners crossing a street during the Chicago Marathon, showing their legs and shoes above and their shadows cast sharply on the sunlit pavement below, creating an abstract, dynamic composition.

A monarchy is offensive in principle because it assumes some people are superior by birth, but when in practice it also behaves as if young women are sub-human - nothing more than playthings for rapists - then that institution is tainted beyond repair.
