International Sloth Day

Inter­na­tion­al Sloth Day: Slow Down and Help Pro­tect Sloths Every Octo­ber 20, the world cel­e­brates Inter­na­tion­al Sloth Day—a day ded­i­cat­ed to the planet’s slow­est-mov­ing mam­mals and a gen­tle reminder to appre­ci­ate life’s qui­eter moments. Estab­lished in 2010 by the Colom­bian wildlife con­ser­va­tion foun­da­tion AIUNAU, this day serves two key pur­pos­es:

Printers – as bad as they ever was?

I asked Le Chat: Dear Le Chat, Could you find out for me whether home print­ers are still as bad as they’ve always been—or per­haps even worse? I get the feel­ing that, despite all the tech­no­log­i­cal progress we’ve made, the ubiq­ui­tous inter­net, and mod­ern devices rang­ing from smart­phones to mas­sive AI-pow­ered

AI Aesthetics

Cer­tain­ly not artificial—yet dis­tinct­ly humanoid. There are some gen­uine­ly inter­est­ing trends, along­side a num­ber of rather clichéd visualizations—many of which can be found on this very web­site. A glance at the Night­Café home­page reveals hun­dreds of high­ly pol­ished, yet often for­mu­la­ic images. It rais­es an inter­est­ing ques­tion: is this aes­thet­ic

Sunny Graveyard

I think if it’s sun­ny it can’t be all bad. But then, bad things hap­pen even when the sun shin­ing, don’t they? But any­way, this is just a com­ic book illus­tra­tion of a grave­yard. And grave­yards have always car­ried their appeal and the …. For me, there is anoth­er lay­er

Sad, Sad Robot

Robots? Why Robots? It’s a ques­tion I keep ask­ing myself. If I remem­ber cor­rect­ly, it wasn’t even my idea. Night­Café intro­duced it: the plat­form con­ve­nient­ly sug­gests prompts that users might enjoy—ready to use, and per­fect­ly designed to help main­tain one’s streak. Streaks! They are, in many ways, a clever mech­a­nism

Monkey Day

I think they’ll be say­ing some­thing like this: It’s Mon­key Day, what will we do? Let’s just do Mon­key Things. But we do Mon­key Things every day … That’s rea­son to cel­e­brate then! And so, a cel­e­bra­tion it is!

It’s Sloth Day

Sloths: Obvi­ous­ly they are very pop­u­lar ani­mals, and it isn’t hared to tell why – they don’t do much, they just hang around, they are friend­ly and over-con­tent most of the time.

Robots? Why robots? It wasn’t my idea real­ly. And if it was, I don’t remem­ber.

Traffic – it’s a conundrum

Oh the many ways I’ve tried to tell my Image Cre­ator, that cars on a road usu­al­ly go in dif­fer­ent direc­tions – in one lane they come up towards the view­er, in the oth­er we usu­al­ly see them from behind because they are … AI does not seem to know
