The concluding slide from my generative AI talk to the undergrads today, following on from a summary of some of the approaches, benefits and hazards of its use in their projects. Most people want to be Swole Doge, but can we really put the effort in to avoid becoming Cheems?

Some progress on the pre-CNGF design. A lot of speculation based on descriptions of other UK designs at the time. Still need to figure out what the long range radar was. And only a couple of forbidden geometries so far!

I am updating my AI talk with recent studies of its cognitive hazards and REALLY? Strong “right in front of my OSHA handbook” energy here.

The MSc group ship designs developed in the years I ran the UCL module. A fun few years.

Rummaging through my Hipstaprints. One from when we got to play with a copper model. These are highly detailed models used to assess EM performance via exposure to frequency scaled RF radiation.

F in the chat for my #Arma3 character Tripwire, who made a rather foolhardy attempt to take out an enemy mortar, only to end up captured. In the position about to be bombed. Radio intercepts indicate she went out singing the Halls of Montezuma and telling USAF to SHOOT STRAIGHT FOR ONCE.
