I buy the book, or the sheet music, or the art. I don’t “borrow,” or pirate, or copy, or generate art with AI.

So when I saw this gorgeous painting of two ravens in the hallway gallery at the hospital after getting an EKG, I had to buy it.

I have an affinity for corvids and Joan Morton (Nova Scotia artist) is one of my favourite bird painters. She also donates 25% of the sale of her paintings to the hospital auxiliary.

So, this is a bad photo of Joan Morton’s painting on dimensional hardwood of two ravens. Yes, that’s my bathroom.

If you reproduce the painting for commercial use in any way, I hope you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.

I agree with others that the onus is on AI generated content to self-label.

I can't resist the chance to give something a name though. Therefore:

Inside the lab that’s growing mushroom computers

"The researchers there have been working on stuff like this for awhile: It was founded in 2001 with the belief that the computers of the coming century will be made of chemical or living systems, or wetware, that are going to work in harmony with hardware and software." -- #CharlotteHu #PopularScience

It's not "The Last of Us," but it sure is weird. Here's how mushrooms and fungi can be used to carry out problems computers typically solve.
