Apple spent a combined $400 million on Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon not to win any awards or break even at the box office.
No wonder they doubled the price of Apple TV+ within a year. Prestige content is an expensive hobby.

There is still much we have yet to discover…
we're losing the race of live research before it is gradually and necessarily displaced by forensics.
we should be deep-freezing whole-culture biomes while we still have the chance.

'Complect' (2024)
A new interactive #art installation based on crustose lichen and their interconnectivity.
The drawn lines are weaved from conductive wire connected to Raspberry Pi Picos. They all link together, and the parts speak to one another, with electricity flowing through their protozoan boundaries following their own rhythms and patterns, changing the lights and shadows.
Based on research from a residency at Artlink Fort Dunree (2022-23).
The best news I've seen about "AI" lately: People have wisely concluded that these systems are untrustworthy.
Saw a bug in #Helldivers 2 where a player had their arms stuck out the whole game, so they basically did a Jack Sparrow run across the map.
Wish I recorded earlier + more, because it was so funny.
Australia’s chief scientist takes on the journal publishing monopoly
“Journal publishers have one of the highest profit margins of any industry, taking in an estimated $20bn US a year.
Five major players control more than half of the market, led by Elsevier, with a profit margin of nearly 40% – in excess of Apple, Netflix, Google and Amazon.”

The 'ten-minute edit' I did to finish a package on the morning we switched to our video server for playback was because I'd spent 20 years editing, progressing from an inexperienced novice to proficiency on a new non-linear system.
The photographer who couldn't complete the package hadn't practiced with the new system/program, even though we had on-site instructors working with us for over a month.
Mark In, Mark Out, Edit. Do it until the keystrokes become familiar. (It's not unlike touch-typing.)
