Richard LittlerI've never been interested in stamps... but then I saw this new Swiss CHF 1.10 stamp.
It's not just a photographic reproduction: "To give the concrete wall depicted in the design a tactile dimension, cement pigments were added to the ultra-matt finish."
I think I'll pop out later and buy a few.
Switzerland continues to have a history of great #graphicdesign!

Jordan MechnerHi, I understand there's been a bit of controversy about what a Prince of Persia hero should look like. I think it's time for me to set things straight by providing an official style sheet that everyone can refer to. I hope this helps.
Dr. Damien P. Williams, MagusThis is the EXACT kind of shit we have been warning you about. "A.I." tools trained on data filled with asaumptions and prejudices about marginalized people and then being deployed in situations with literal life-&-death implications for the people involved. In this case, diaabled parents being more likely to be flagged as "unfit."
This is utter nightmare shit.
Anna HughesI'm sorry, were any of you planning on telling me there used to be a species of penguin that was 6'7" (2m) tall and weighed 250 lbs (115kg) called Mega Penguin or was I supposed to just find that out on my own
Ben EvansAm I the only one who thinks its odd that #ai companies all seem to have fired their Ethics / Responsibility folks at the same time - and just as greater scrutiny comes to these technologies?
Probably nothing - just a coincidence that they all decided at the same time to get rid of the people who might ... feel a sense of public duty to whistleblow if they saw evidence of serious wrongdoing.
