My Thoughts Exactly
I have over 300,000 images stored in Amazon Photos. It is my main online photo archive. My kids use it to explore memories. It may be one of the best things I've ever done for my family, in addition to the thousands of private YouTube videos dating back to their first days on this planet.
Now that Amazon has a decently priced digital photo frame, I think I may finally take the plunge.
Norway is doing some first class trolling by posting images of their public toilets after Trump called the country a "shithouse." PetaPixel writes, "In an article titled “Are These the World’s Best S***houses?,” Norway showed off some of the striking buildings that house toilets across the country. Some of them offer incredible views of the Scandinavian scenery; others place a porcelain throne next to babbling brooks and gushing waterfalls.
The article also poked fun at Trump by declaring “Norway makes s***houses great again.” That's some world class trolling.
My personal experience is clearly not showing up in the top 493 companies on the planet. I know I'm personally more productive. But that doesn't appear to be translating at the enterprise level. The article offers a reason.
“AI may be a great calculator, but in business, intelligence is mostly judgment,” Apollo’s Torsten Slok writes, later adding, “AI does not understand accountability, trust, culture, unwritten rules, ethical trade-offs or fairness, all of which shape reputational risk and ultimately drive revenue growth and profit margins.”
Sometimes you stumble on something on the internet and you think, "ok, this just make sense." This is one of those things. Why do we think we look so different in photos? Part of it is that cameras lenses can distort our features, but the familiarity of our face as we see it in a mirror is the real culprit.
"The more familiar something looks, the more your brain likes it, since recognizable sights take less effort for it to process. After a lifetime of mirror glances, your brain has been conditioned to believe that the reversed reflection is your “true” face. " There you have it.
If you didn't see this move coming. You're not paying attention. Or willfully ignorant. This was the easiest job to replace. Video killed the radio star. AI is going to kill the radio personality.
“Well, it’s finally our turn. This morning the ownership of KCAL released the entire air staff. Yes, all of us,” DeSantis wrote. “They will be moving to an automated, humanless format. To say this is shocking is an understatement. I have a lot to process, and will be saying more shortly. But for right now, I just want to thank all of you for letting me be part of the KCAL family. It has been a radio dream come true. You will always rock.”
I probably would have called this extreme macro photography, or micro photography. Photomicrography wouldn't have come out of my mouth. These are some very cool images. Check them out.
