Lee Campbell - Ammonite II (2020)

Ammonite is the fossilized shell of an extinct species of squid.

This painting perfectly captures its brilliance and iridescence. Red, green, and yellow sparkling splendor.

🎯. Jungkook chose and picked the places of these tattoos himself. You know how hard that is? This is Perfect Code, it's Perfectly placed and it's super INTRICATE. You need perfect eye and spacial insight for this. It's a sign of #Brilliance
🎯. Jimin put this together himself, can you just see how hard this is? He maths the right sizes.. he knows [Perfect Proportion]™ by eye. He can tell if the black is all the same black, his eye is immaculate. He matched the colors, he measured into tiny.. and he fecksteckered it all together. This is just a sign of #Brilliance

#Parkrun #Killerton A while ago, runners emerging from the rather pleasant tree tunnel into Saturday morning #sunshine

I was pleased with this one at the time, and still am.

I've photographed a lot of parkruns and think it helps, but nowadays I'm harder to get out of bed early.

The Australian ones start at 0700 which makes good sense. From a distance.

What's up?

I've been busy writing my series about 30 megatrends, and made it to #25 yesterday.

However, there's a brief pause before I set off to finish it with the final 5 items next week, sometime. We are off to a wedding for some wonderful friends of ours, and also have some wonderfully personal events unfolding in our lives. I want to make sure I'm giving full attention to these things that matter, while also being respectful to the depth of trends I'm covering in my Megatrends series. I plan on getting back to it next Tuesday.

That said, I'll be writing some 'shorter' posts tomorrow and Monday.
Today's post? Does everybody have the capacity for anything? That phrase came from my folder of inspirational thoughts - I've got a few thousand of them in my email account. I'm constantly watching and learning from the world around me, and as soon as I see something that inspires me, wham! It goes into the folder.

I was thinking about this phrase in the context of what is happening with AI in many workplaces today - the trend seems to be clear. Countless organizations are making the decision-or perhaps the word is mandate-that AI should be used by everyone in everything they do. It was notably initiated by Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke back in March. In a memo that was first leaked and later shared publicly. Lütke's memo established a clear "AI-first" ethos at the e-commerce giant, with the thinking being that "using AI effectively is now a fundamental expectation of everyone at Shopify."

Many other companies have also been jumping on board. While we can endlessly debate the pros and cons of such a move, I won't do that here. I will note that as part of my journey of learning, research, and trends observation, I've been busy trying to assess the trend by integrating AI into almost everything I do. Including today, this particular post.

I fed the original idea - 'everybody has the capacity for anything' into Google Gemini, along with every single blog post I've written since 2002. I asked it to come up with an overview of many of the inspirational ideas I've shared over the last 23 years.  I then took the results and fed them into Gamma - my current AI slide generation tool of choice.

The result was kind of magical.

A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin

No matter how brilliantly an idea is stated, we will not really be moved unless we have half-thought of it ourselves.

Mignon McLaughlin (1913-1983) American journalist and author
The Neurotic’s Notebook, ch. 7 (1963)
