"At best, Ghibli-themed GenAI image creation is an amusing gimmick. You turn Sam Altman into a twink ghibli style haha. At worst...it’s an insult to one of the greatest living filmmakers—someone who is on record saying that the use of AI tools in artistic production “is an insult to life itself.”"
Make it Ghibli: Howl’s Moving Castle and GenAI Slop
Back in 1986 my grandmother—the late, great Diana Wynne Jones—wrote a book called Howl’s Moving Castle. Years later, it was adapted by Hayao Miyazaki into an Oscar-nominated film of the same name.

I'm just not so sure about full-time kindy. In WA some kids start kindy when they are 3. It's great for those parents who need to work and will benefit from the free childcare. I just worry about the push-down of early academics when the focus should be on play.

Mixed reaction for WA full-time kindy trial: some claim it's 'more about votes'
Ten kindergartens are identified as pilot locations under the $33 million trial, half of them in the metropolitan area and the others in the regions.

Happy Valentine's Day! 💘
Just reflecting on old times with my beau. We have been together since 2003. How we have lasted 20+ years? Don't sweat the small stuff. Say sorry when we mess up. Forgive often and easily. Both be hermits who love cups of tea and dressing gowns.

These days I find that social media (especially Facebook, Instagram etc) are incredibly anxiety inducing.
I find that playing backgammon in my down-time is a much better way to unwind than doom-scrolling.

This is my very first post on bluesky. Honestly I'm not sure yet how to interact in here. I haven't really used Twitter in ages and am curious about how this platform compares.
