Look, even if AI is better than you at what you love doing, that's no reason to stop doing it. There have always been machines that are better than me at pleasuring my partner, yet this has never discouraged me from trying. In fact, when I work with the machines, we are far more effective together, and make a great team. Don't be afraid that the machine will replace you. Learn to work together. Stay human. Human ;

Keeping it simple and elegant. Fresh out of the kiln. Trying to stick with a bit of restraint lately. Same glaze across a few different forms. People seem to like buying pieces that match. #ceramics #pottery

Hate speech is not free speech. I support the Australian government. New laws will target "those who spread hate, division and radicalisation", Prime Minister Albanese told reporters in Canberra. #HateSpeech #FreeSpeech #Australia

I use AI as a tool, and its a damn good tool sometimes! But this from Emma Thompson made me laugh.

Wonderment is a human superpower. Novelty fuels wonderment. Life erodes our wonderment to our detriment. In the age of AI video desensitization, our wonderment will be destroyed by the anti-novelty, over saturated, AI Social Media platforms. x.com/angadadlakha/status/11…

THE DESENSITIZED GENERATION — Immune To Novelty By AI Video Fatigue With just a few hours of testing OpenAI’s Sora2 Social Network for my clients and just finished a 218 page report, the thing I thought about for decades is upon us: Full Desensitization Of Visual Novelty I knew so many years ago, and one reason I have posted on the account so many novel images and videos that one day we will rapidly become immune to “oh damn, it’s over” images and video. With Sora2 this desensitization will rapidly accelerate as “you and your friends” build endless videos where you and they are inserted. Like all things that get abused, the first phase is “wow look at this”, the next phase is “can it do that” and the last phase is “nothing is real and I don’t care”. The shock value of the entire technology become removed but in the final phases it will be pushed to extremes of insults and potentially purposeful directed reputation damage. This will take place so rapidly as Sora2 and every other social network rushes to take whatever nicely oxygen that is left in the room for more and more “it’s over, we are so cooked” fantastical videos. They will continue to get so much better that even the “debunker” experts will give up their “look at the fingers-type troupe”, they honestly will not know and soon burn out. My easy point is get ready to be bored by the novelty of humans that in the past took potentially hours of thier lives to create novelty in reality. The hard point is what now? Once a society takes something that has increasingly more and more amazing possibilities like AI and rapidly becomes immune to the possibilities the entire industry become devalued because the front facing aspect to AI will be Sora2-like social media. Humanity’s entire past of astonishing achievements, the high points and the low points and the incredible art we can make will equally become devalued because this fatigue will make us not care and not trust what was real. Everything will become a forever now where there was no real past because it would take impossible effort to verify it if at all. Why? Because not only are we the Desensitized Generation we are also the Amnesia Generation where Petabytes of all forms of media, books, papers, microfilm/microfiche, film, VHS, audio tapes, records, etc is being thrown away or decayed. Not to mention the daily removal of text, images, video and audio from the internet. We simply will not have the receipts, we won’t have the memory and the fatigue is too large to care. It took 5 dark nights for the Library to burn, the sum total of human knowledge. In our age the burn is slow and rapidly increasing till the pot boils over. What are the answers? I have thought about this for decades. I will continue to write about it a lot. But one thing you can do is understand we are rapidly losing our past because almost no one cares. I should not be the only one dumpster diving to save what I can. Also protect your mind and preserve your “novelty” sensitivity because once it is burned out with fatigue, it will never return. And I ask you to have grace and compassion to those that don’t know what we know. You are the 1% of the 1% and must serve a place to help those that can understand what this means and have grace to those who can’t. I am serious, be gentle with them as they find the bottom of the hole and hopefully find a way back. This video below was novel and she risked her life. You are the last generation to understand this. The post reposted of a CEO head in a toilet, is AI rendered it is not novelty.

On a pristine Australian island, the seabirds have become so full of plastic they crackle and crunch. 788 pieces of plastic were found inside a single bird on Lorde Howe Island by scientists last month. abc.net.au/news/2025-05-15/b…

If the Australian Liberals (centre-right) lose to Labor (centre-left) tonight, there’s only one person to blame: Donald Trump. Why? Because of the disrespect he and Vance showed to Zelenskyy, and the tariffs - even though the US has a trade surplus with us.

What’s with renaming the Gulf of Mexico? I was curious so looked up the history. It’s been called the Gulf of Mexico by the early European explorers since the mid-16th century. It seems petty to change it after nearly 500 years.
