David’s travel project – Sense in the City is being re-booted now that travel is back. Sound is an augmentation of reality and can deliver layers, like oral history or insight. Why does sport have commentary?
Some people say that everything will have a twin with an address⦠Interesting idea. Still wondering what the WHY is.
ππ Assistants
The buzz is about AIs that write poems and film scripts and WordPress plugins. But when are we going to make the machines work for us and not instead of us? It’s great that they can tell us how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR, but wouldn’t a personal virtual assistant be better?
Human: write a biblical verse in the style of the king james bible explaining how to remove a peanut butter sandwich from a VCR
ChatGPT: “And lo, the Lord spake unto the people, saying, ‘Thou shalt not place thy peanut butter sandwich within the VCR, for it is not a suitable place for such sustenance. But if perchance thou hast done so, fear not, for I shall show thee how to remove it. First, take a soft cloth and gently dab at the corners of the sandwich, using small and measured movements. Then, using a thin and pliable tool, carefully loosen the sandwich from its sticky confines, taking care not to damage the VCR. And when thou hast succeeded, give thanks unto the Lord for thy deliverance.'”

Should technical people have more soft-skills, empathy and understanding of history, ethics and consumer behaviour?
