I asked DALL-E to create stickers to illustrate collaboration in the #Wikimedia movement. They are quite impressive but what's curious is the laptops almost always wind up with an Apple logo on them. Is this just an artifact that a lot of the training data in DALL-E are the ubiquitous Mac laptops? #Wikipedia

twitter's business model was simple:

1. celebrities show their entire arses
2. normal people hurl rotten tomatoes at them
3. show ads to group 2.

it is not clear that a single person at twitter understood this

I was recently interviewed for this great piece on the #onlinesafetybill which, in its current form, threatens the very existence of #Wikipedia in Wales and the rest of the UK .

How the new UK tech law hurts Wikipedia
