just a reminder the cathaoirleach of the AI committee has stock in a AI-based revenue intelligence company. Naoise insists the stock – whose value is only realisable if the company goes public – is not a conflict of interest for him as a TD forming AI legislation www.ontheditch.com/fianna-fail-...
AI committee FF TD has stock in IDF-vet-founded AI company
It was co-founded by a man who “conducted classified intelligence work” for the Israel Defense Forces.

I've just added another 25 paintings to the print shop I'm trying out after a year of no income, which brings the total number of paintings there now to 50. I'm not yet committed to it, but if it goes well I will add more paintings. #SpéirGhorm fineartamerica.com/profiles/4-l...

So over the next couple of weeks you'll see me push unsold paintings and try out some print options.

I'm running this course for the third time starting next month in Dublin. It's not really a writing course, it's more about looking into your idea for a story & interrogating it so that by the time you start to write, you know what you're doing. irishwriterscentre.ie/courses/grow...

When you see redaction like this in records, you can appeal. Names of staff of public bodies aren't exempt from release under FOI. My book Shining a Light explains exactly how to have decisions like this overturned: Available in print and digital at: www.kenfoxe.com #ireland #journalism #media

I legitimately can't understand how anyone feels comfortable developing a reputation for not doing their own work. A reputation for skimming the problem at best and not leveraging, or developing, expertise to address that problem. What makes your contribution to the work meaningful?
Every piece of work you "outsource" to that technology legitimises this. You're helping to burn the library of Alexandria to power a technology that makes it harder and harder to trust the information left available to us.
