I did an archaeology degree and stuff I've had on my head since then keeps creeping into my pots!

Labyrinth and spiral design, inspired by European prehistoric rock carvings. A wax relief design on crank (textured) clay with a turquoise glaze.

The thing I despise is inhumanity. It’s not really a political position, it’s an existential one. But if your political party manoeuvres itself into a place where it practises and promotes inhumanity, I will despise you.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
