Yes, I'm en route to Antarctica to create a VR photogrammetric model of Mawson's Huts in Cape Denison. Four days in - and this is the link to the (free) substack blag. Subscribe (I think - still working it out) for maunderings upon a semi-unexpected adventure.

It's been thrilling working with the famous Icelandic Death Metal Band 'Socks of the Damned' on their new music video clip. (messing around with comfyui for scientific visualization and got distracted by more amusing possibilities). :)

Image of David Attenborough introducing his movie 'Ocean'

Got the new David Attenborough movie "Ocean" up and running at Albany's Historic Whaling Station (W.Australia) for World Oceans Day! David Attenborough is a hero, to see him onscreen at 99, his voice, scientific and social message: a great privilege.

Darren Aronofsky and Demis Hassabis on storytelling in the age of AI YouTube video by Google for Developers

Very interesting discussion with Demis Hassibis and Darren Aronofsky. The horse has bolted, as they say, and human creative imagination must lead the way in human-AI dialogic, rather than luddite reaction.

Picture of an astronaut in a space suit floating against a deep blue background with a trowel beside them and the text: 'Space archaeology. 25 years in 2025'

National Archaeology Week kicks off today in Australia! As 2025 is also the 25th anniversary of space archaeology as a discipline, I'm going to post a thread of 11 talks by space archaeologists so you can see what it's all about. 🧪🏺 #SpaceArchaeology

MACHINE YEARNING Sonja Drimmer critically examines art historians’ recent embrace of generative AI as a tool for humanities research.

Interesting points in this Luddite polemic on the relationship between Art History, CV & AI. Reminds me of Roger Scruton’s anathema on photography, I wonder if paint-brushes were ever seen as tools of exploitation in the Age of Fingerpainting?

ReCamMaster Recapture your videos with novel camera trajectories!

In more time, realtime. Old media (human) needs a provenential system (eg. post-quantum blockchain z-snarky kinda stuff, or keep it analogue & physical) - there will be no way to distinguish between ostensibly human-authorial and machine-dialogical media.

‘A dark masterpiece’: Foucault’s Discipline and Punish at 50 One of the most influential philosophical works of the 20th century, Discipline and Punish is unsettlingly prescient in our age of digital surveillance.

As relevant to surveillance capitalism as ever - especially in the age of AI's, agents, LLMs, vast trawled internet datasets and the emergence of fake humans.

Does Dark Energy Exist? The Timescape model says no YouTube video by Dr. Ryan Ridden

Excellent, lucid overview of the Timescape cosmological model vs Lamda-CDM. How exciting to witness developments like this in astrophysics - explained by bsky.app/profile/ryan..., one of the scientists involved in the research.

The alternatives to o1 and o3 OpenAI o1 and o3 are very effective at math, coding, and reasoning tasks. But they are not the only models that can reason.

Useful overview of #LRMs (Large Reasoning Models), #test-time #scaling. Seems like #CoT, #MoE & other internal discourse methods, self-reflection, tree search, Monte Carlo etc bring quantifiable benefits - and trade-offs between math/coding/‘creative’ tasks.
