Flickr keeps exploring itself – see, for instance, Andrew Losowsky’s series of photos of doorbells in Florence, each of which is being posted with a short fiction. Andrew writes about it in his blog, of course, and calls the genre flicktion. There’s only one photo not by Andrew tagged as flicktion so far, but it’s a lovely little story, about how a saddlebag got into a second hand store.
I like the idea of using your camera to capture strange writing exercises. I like how playful Flickr makes people. (via Foe) |

I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]

Like the rest of the internet, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot released by OpenAI, and I’ve been fascinated by how much it does well and how it still gets a lot wrong. ChatGPT is a foundation model, that is, a deep learning model (also called a […]
