Understands the yearning for an AI free logo, but until you define what “AI” is, that’s pointless.

This toot was written without AI, but Spellcheck, Grammar Check and other statistical models (are those AI by another name???) were used in composing in the Input Field.

To put a “Used AI” logo on it would be silly. So what really is “AI”?

Is this product 'human made'? The race to establish AI-free logo

The backlash to the growing use of the tech has led to an explosion in attempts to come up with 'AI-Free' logo that could be used globally.

Back in May 02023, we launched Spellstruck on Apple Arcade with a pantheon of Disney characters. It's been a galactic journey to get here, but last week we add Star Wars. New characters, new maps, but that's just the start.

Video games are like sausages: They're best enjoyed when you ignore the process.

Last week we had a small demo at the UTMessan conference with the Worldmapper team and Háskoli Íslands. We took a 19th Century idea of how to visualize the globe and brought it into Virtual Reality.

After donning the VR Goggles you were surrounded in a 360 inverted globe. Everything to the proper projection. We used NASA imagery and distorted cartograms.

It was always amazing to watch people look around and smile durning the experience.

Today is Bolludagur (Bun Day) in Iceland, which was only cemented as a tradition ~100 years ago. Before that, it was the Danish tradition of Fastelavn. That’s where you beat a live cat out of a barrel sort of like a piñata. Much of those traditions transfer to Ash Wednesday here in Iceland, the cat became a raven, then candy.

Back in 02013, we were visiting Ueno zoo in Tokyo. At closing time everyone headed for the exits except a few people who “knew”. We decided to follow them and went to the panda exhibit. When it was quiet, the pandas came out to be feed.

Managed to take a stop-motion video. Now those pandas are returning to China.

Today is the first day of the Old Icelandic month of Þorri. It is famous for þorrablót and þorramatur. It is also Bóndadagur, Husband's day.

Saw this eScooter with what looks like an official MOT tag for a car. The translation is “use prohibited”. Probably some guerrilla interference. The love for eScotters is certainly split amoung residents!
