67. Re: Re: AI-generated blog post images are not cool any more
Cafélog, who is on my blogroll, responds to a post at Vrypan.net, AI-generated blog posts images are not cool anymore . It is a detailed response which delves into their use of AI and the process involved in generating the images on the blog. As someone who also uses AI to modify pictures for use… Continue reading

66. Three Types of (British) Evangelical Churches
Photo by John Price on Unsplash My Lapsed Pentecostal assertions not withstanding, I have been known to pop into church on a Sunday every so often. Over the years, therefore, I have attended a fair few, from which I think the UK Pentecostal church landscape (dare I say Evangelical-Industrial-Complex) can be considered as been divided… Continue reading

65. Re: To Comment Section or Not
James Zhan weighs in on the comment-section-or-not “debate”, ultimately justifying his decision to remove comments from his (Bear) blog. The key point which I can relate to is this: When I had comment sections on my blog, I found myself frequently checking for new comments and feeling somewhat disappointed when I saw none.

64. Not the old July Weather
The warmest June in England on record seems to have been followed by a July which is not particularly keen to provide much respite.

61. More AI Stuff
AI and its use in the Investment space came up on a podcast I listen to from time to time, featuring Sarah Ketterer of Causeway Capital Management. Whilst adopting AI at her firm, they are focused on keeping humans in the loop, using AI as an enabler, not as a decision maker. Not too dissimilar… Continue reading

59: Re: How I Use AI
(Gen) AI and its impact on life, the future of work and pretty much everything in between has been on my mind for quite some time, more so of late. It hasn’t helped that Co-pilot has been rammed down our collective throats at work for the better part of a year, in the name of… Continue reading

58. Joining JulyReply
The very productive Robert Birming (how does he manage to keep his online projects going?) is at it again, this time with JulyReply. It is another one of those initiatives which focuses on building community. The core idea is [r]eplying to others’ blog posts in a “Re:” format. As I have used the format sparingly… Continue reading
