🎉 Great news! In December I entered my first juried competition, an international exhibit titled Wonder, organized by the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado. I'm delighted that this photo was selected for the show. The sole juror for the exhibit is the Senior Curator of the California Museum of Photography. With only 60 works chosen, I am honored to be included. 😃
*Zoom in!*

@PenguinJunk I'm not an AI expert but I've tinkered a bit with ML, & I have some (very rusty) linguistics background. More relevant perhaps is 30+ yrs in the IT industry being rolled over by endless tsunamis of technohype.
So ChatGPT didn't really surprise me either. What depresses me is the legions of eager suckers who listen to these parasitic AI scam artists, look at the state of the world & think: "Yes, what we really need is yet more bullshit generated by your stochastic parrots".
YMMV
This week I quit my #PublicSector role
It's been a very long time coming
It was the gibberish and #hype around #AI that finally did for me
On top of the myopic pursuit of #growth and worrying about #CompetitiveAdvantage (in a world on the edge of collapse)
And the lack of recognition, ever, that their entire #GeoAI programme came out of my work - the #research that I initiated and the team that I trained
And that that work, and the amazing, but tiny, teams now working on it, remain under-resourced and locked into a predatory platform provider
And the financial disadvantage of being in a role that is intended to work to longer than annual horizons in an organisation that cannot retain even a Teams message for longer than 6 months
I do see recent potential that all that could change but I no longer have the stamina to see those changes through
My last act, with two of my gorgeous colleagues, was to draft a #ResponsibleAI charter - it needs a lot of work but there was a glimmer of hope in the way it was received
My heart and spirit are broken, but I feel flutters of excitement about what lies ahead
“It is very difficult to understand what could justify denying the jury the opportunity to hear the reason for the defendant’s action”
To put this another way #AI, especially #GenAI, is never a substitute for properly resourcing your #workforce
@joelanman but also *commercially*
WTF is Principle 8 about?
