From a slide at the Durham NetDRIVE Workshop. The Manifest Destiny of AI

A digital collage merging an ornate historical painting of a pioneer scene with images of data and wires. The painting is partially glitched, with sections of digital circuitry and matrix-like grids overtaking the classical imagery. In the scene, pioneers on horseback and on foot appear to be embarking on a journey, but the technological distortion dominates the background, blending history with a sci-fi aesthetic.

The less fun bit was when I messed up and got on the wrong train. I didn't realise that there were 2 trains that leave Köln to Hamburg at the same time (I still don't understand how that is possible). They were also both delayed and changed platforms. Luckily […]

Got the first air quality alert of the year. Maybe due to the wildfire near Buxton. Or maybe just the sun on the traffic fumes.

Screenshot of SMS alert with the text "MODERATE air pollution alert for Manchester on Wednesday. At-risk people with symptoms should CONSIDER REDUCING activity."
