I’ve downloaded the subtitles of these from YouTube and then asked Claude.ai (Anthropic’s equivalent to ChatGPT) to summarise them.

Random Future Thought – Genetic Engineering means “human nature” will be different
Right now (2023) it feels like AI is the big thing. It is, it’s made a qualitative leap forward with generative AI. Both Chat GPT style text, image generation (e.g Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Dall-e) and Audio, especially speech. But there’s a phrase I hear a lot. It’s got a bunch of variations but it’s roughly… Continue reading Random Future Thought – Genetic Engineering means “human nature” will be different
Random Future Thought – You BURNED Fossil Fuels?
I think that in the future, e.g 20+ years from now, there will be people living on Mars, the Moon and in outer space. I think they will be appalled at our use of an Internal Combustion Engine.

A change of plans
Hi everyone, Unfortunately due to time constraints, I simply do not have time to write the quality and quantity of posts that I had previously been aiming for. Instead of trying to post once a week on random things, I am currently aiming on posting more tutorial/informational posts when I have the time. These will… Continue reading A change of plans
Post of the week – 004 : IPTC info in photos.
This was an old post I forgot to upload a while ago and is an excerpt from a conversation on the DLF (Digital Laborers Federation) email list regarding IPTC information in JPEG photos, which is useful for Photographers, and especially those uploading images to Flickr. —————————————- Peter Moran wrote: > Hey > I’ve finally got… Continue reading Post of the week – 004 : IPTC info in photos.
Post of the week 003 – Financial Insitutions
How much are you paying to have your money stored ? Having recently done some looking around, I was surprised at the number of people who actually PAY to have their money in a bank. A bank invests the money that you store with them, and get paid interest for it. The investment could be… Continue reading Post of the week 003 – Financial Insitutions
