At the end of each year, kelly p. and I send Antistatic mail to friends and colleagues. This time, they’re gonna come with bespoke stamps (for NZ folks, at least!)

Is an "aspirational goal" just the thing you know needs to happen/is the right thing to do but will never happen due to lack of actual money/effort/political will being put behind it?

There's a lot of hype about GenAI. Much of it makes me uneasy because trying to shortcut the creative/learning process ends in trouble. Nick Cave put this much more brutally and eloquently in this column, I highly recommend reading: (H/T James Tinged Words) theredhandfiles.com/chatgpt-making…
