Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement.

You might remember my distress at not having been able to grab any tiny balancing sheep photos. Went out for a walk today and it wasn't perfect (the pathway is noticeably higher than the field which makes it tricky) BUT VICTORY IS MINE! 🐑 😁

I continue to stand by rubbish-but-real being better than polished-but-fake.

Behold my rubbish-but-real triptych.

I finally finished this book "In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World" by Ian Stewart.

It describes the main technological advances and discoveries throughout human history which shaped the world we know today, by focusing on 17 of them.

I can only recommend it, it was fascinating to me understanding how each mathematician or physicist came to their brilliant ideas, working on top of the prior contribution of other scientists.

On International Women's Day, we celebrate the women who contribute to CoMaps and OpenStreetMap, and also the women in our community who use CoMaps!

It's our goal to make CoMaps representative of the world that it serves. Do you have ideas for how we can improve our gender equality? Let us know!

AI uses unreasonable amount of energy which also includes my mental energy from reading comments from AI evangelists.

"Mum, how did we lose planet earth?"

"Well son, we were on the right path to saving it, but then a couple of rich guys decided we should pollute even more, so we could use AI to generate sexualized photos of famous people against their will. It sounds silly now, but back in 2026 no one realized that maybe a few billionaires should not be able to make that decision on behalf of all 8 billion of us."
