Context does not matter. Sorry.
You’ve EITHER got to be really stupid and not realise what this action means to everyone around the world
OR
be smart enough to know exactly what you’re doing and be happy to be seen doing it.
You can’t be both of these things.

My three Nicholas Cage phases of AI learning during 2024 as a Comms person:
1. Nope. Take it away. It’s the Devil’s work.

3. Whoa. Hold the bus. That’s f#*$€¥g awesome.
Looking forward to more fearless AI learning in 2025.

Just back from that heartbreaking last visit to the vet.
Our beautiful, gentle, loving dog Seonaidh is no longer with us. We’re devastated but thankful he was in our life for 12 years.
