One of my favourite use-cases for AI is to generate ALT-Text for images that I post on the web. Claude does an excellent job of analysing images. Check out the Alt-Text for the image below. It's Alt-Text all the way down.

"A year ago, GPT-4 felt like a glimpse of the future. Now it's basically running on phones ... This isn't steady progress - we're watching AI take uneven leaps past our ability to easily gauge its implications."

In Australia, Boxing Day is usually spent recovering from a food coma and watching either the Boxing Day Test (cricket) or the Start of the Sydney Hobart yacht race. If neither of these things appeal to you, why don't you listen to the latest episode of On The Reg podcast?

Got out of bed today? That’s a WIN. Brushed your teeth? WIN. Took a breath and tried again? LEGENDARY. Depression makes every step feel impossible, but you are still moving. THAT’S HEROIC. 🛡️🔥

I just had one of those "Holy Crap" moments. I experimented with Google's Gemini AI to create a video from one of my documents. It took the content of the document, suggested scenes in the video, put in transition and other effects, suggested a script and narrated the script over the top. 90 seconds

Opinion | Bosses want to kill off working from home. There’s just one problem with that - The Sydney Morning Herald I’ve been following Nick Bloom’s work for a few years. He’s always been a strong promoter of WFH benefits. I can’t imagine ever going back to the soul-crushing commute.

This is brilliant. Man creates animated stick figure on the streets of Toronto by repeatedly going for runs in his neighbourhood and tracking his runs with an app. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/s...

Amazing session today with the School of Communications and Arts at University of Queensland. Our session was in the old Customs House building. Fancy!

Flying to Brisbane this morning for a workshop with University of Queensland. I always seem to struggle sleeping the night before I travel. Last night was no exception. Tips on how to combat the inability to sleep are welcomed.

What better soundtrack to help me imagine all the admin I'm doing today is more exciting than it really is?

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with the ECRs from the Monash Law School. We took a tactical look at what we can do in the day-to-day maelstrom of work to gain some control over our day. Today, I've consciously decided to revisit my amount of Work in Progress and renegotiate. #calm

Another episode of On The Reg podcast is up (it came out over Easter) and in it @thesiswhisperer.bsky.social and I go deep on how to develop a writing practice with Obsidian. Great ep - check it out here: www.buzzsprout.com/1187141/1479...

Woah. There’s some smart stuff being written about ai. Here’s a few of my take-always: 1. This stuff will be nuts when you begin to chain different ai models together. 2. Some of the 4.0 models are spookily good at mimicking human interaction. 3. Add robots for even more spooky.

I just paid $3.49 to access an episode of Below Decks. I feel so dirty. Somehow, though, I feel that @thesiswhisperer.bsky.social would support my life choices. It’s a complex life.

Decided to run a full system scan with my anti-virus software to see if something has somehow slipped through despite my best efforts to keep the nasties at bay. It's been running for 3.5 hours so far and isn't even half-way done... Shoulda started it earlier. #RookieMistake
