@dgar I recently recited this poem to my children during a school holiday visit to Sydney Aquarium, and frankly I think the other parents should have given me a standing ovation, rather than snatching their kids away.

Today's @UnmadeAU newsletter includes my weekly round-up of #AI news for media and marketing people. Notable this week mainly because I referred to Musk as the "clown shoe wearing billionaire" and my editor let it stand. https://www.unmade.media/p/botw-the-slow-death-of-buzzfeed-news
BOTW: The slow death of BuzzFeed News (and RN); Murdoch's double defeat; why outdoor wants TV's spend; a verified Tweeter no more

Today: The slow decline of BuzzFeed, the rapid decline of Radio National; Netflix stagnates; the Murdochs take a couple of Ls; outdoor targets TV money; Twitter verification ends; and another wild week in AI.

In the midst of research for the AI event I’m curating, I came across Ways of Being by @jamesbridle.
James, I cannot thank you enough for this beautiful, powerful, optimistic book.
It’s like a cool breeze dissipating the toxic overheated bullshit that typifies all AI-adjacent discourse at present.
And on a personal note it strikes so many chords with the weird liminal intersection in which I find myself (shamanic practitioner working in media) - which is extra delightful. Lovely stuff.

@JaneJohnsonBakr I’m not sure whether I love this evidence of the sparkling beauty and kindness or humanity, or I just want to be a waxwing bird right at this moment. Either way, thank you for sharing.

@Pandamoanimum My favorite part is people assuming giant _penguin_? Because that would be a less terrifying option than…giant seagull?
