Trying to work out a Cutty Sark/cutting snark pun, but it's not ready to ship.

It seems that Germany's postal service Deutsche Post have issued a special stamp to commemorate the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II.

So then I wondered if the UK might return the honour and realised that if Reform win the next election they'll probably gladly find a reason to commemorate a famous German Head of State ...

Looking for your comments again to feature in a video about Blue Peter, (specifically the Blue Peter annual from 1972 but all Blue Peter memories welcome.) All the details are in the YouTube community post linked below.

I've been using a digital camera for many years and as a result have a lot of photographs.

How many is a lot?

Yeah, lots.

Despite having spent lots of time trying to create meaningful directory names it's still not easy to always find a photo I'm looking for.

What would actually be a USEFUL tool for AI would be something that I could run locally which could examine each of my photos and build some kind of free-text database of their contents which I can then grep.

But as far as I can tell nothing along those lines exists. Why have AI tools spent so much time trying to create faked photos and not producing something actually valuable?
