So wird das Cover der Techniktagebuchgesamtausgabe nicht aussehen

So auch nicht:

Und auch diese Coveridee hat es - leider - nicht geschafft:

... diese auch nicht:

Und um diese tut es mir besonders leid:

Nachtrag (17.2.2025): Hier ist zu sehen, wie es dann tatsächlich aussieht.

Looking out the window

DALL-E3 PROMPT A black-and-white portrait of a woman sitting by a rainy window, her face softly illuminated by natural light.

The background is blurred, drawing attention to the woman’s thoughtful expression and the interplay of light and shadow on her face. Created Using: high-contrast photography, soft natural lighting, Canon EOS camera, fine art portrait style, shallow depth of field, post-production in Adobe Lightroom, monochromatic palette, cinematic mood, gentle highlights, smooth bokeh, deep shadows

I really hope you will find this interesting and maybe even useful.

APS is a Custom GPT I made. And it figures out old photos, sometimes pretty obscure ones.

I've been testing it for some time now and while being far from perfect, it appears to be quite a useful device, i would say, surprisingly so. And I would really appreciate it, if you give it a try, — and maybe even provide some feedback

[Only ChatGPT Plus users have access to Custom GPTs for now; hopefully this will change soon].

Case study

I asked it to "tell me all there is to know about this image:

It was found on Flickr with the caption "Pardon of Folgoet 1923", which, frankly speaking, made no sense to me — except for the year, of course. Now I know that Pardon is a religious ceremony, rather specific to Bretagne, where Folgoët is located.

What follows is rather a detailed report of APS findings, —and while being maybe a bit too general, it was also acccurate, quick and quite instructive indeed. Here it is:

This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing a moment that speaks to the era's cultural, societal, and technological aspects. Let's analyze the various elements:

Architecture and Location: The building in the background is made of stone, indicating that this photo could be from a region where stone was a common construction material, possibly Europe. The style of the shutters and the architecture suggest a setting in a small town or village.

Signage: The sign reading "BYRRH" suggests a location where French is spoken, as Byrrh is a French aperitif that has been produced since the 19th century. This could place the photograph somewhere in France or in a French-influenced area.

Fashion: The attire of the individuals is very indicative of the time period. The women are wearing long dresses and hats typical of the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The boys are dressed in what appears to be sailor suits, a popular style for children from the mid-19th century onwards, as per the knowledge sourced from the documents provided.

Children's Clothing: The boys are dressed similarly, indicating a uniform, which could imply they are attending a special event or are part of a school group. This was a common practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Flags: The flags are difficult to identify clearly, but they seem to be fluttering in celebration or a public event, which could help date the photograph if the event is known.

Street Scene: The cobblestone street and the relaxed posture of the people suggest a peaceful day-to-day moment, rather than a staged photograph.

Photographic Style and Quality: The clarity of the image, along with the candid nature of the shot, suggests it was taken at a time when street photography became more feasible due to advancements in camera technology. This could be in the late 19th or early 20th century, aligning with the Kodak Brownie introduction in 1900, making photography more accessible to the masses.

Umbrellas and Sunlight: The presence of umbrellas could indicate either a sunny day or an impending rain, but the shadows suggest a bright day, with the sun high as indicated by the short shadows.

From these observations, it seems likely that the photograph was taken in France or a French-influenced region during a public event or gathering, likely in the late 19th or early 20th century. The combination of the children's uniforms, the women's fashion, the stone architecture, and the photographic quality all contribute to this conclusion. However, without more context or specific historical knowledge, pinpointing an exact date or event is challenging.

Maybe it's just me getting older and more pessimistic but god, it's so hard to be on the side of any like movement that spearheaded almost entirely by 21 year olds who's main tactic is just like "attempt to (poorly) socially manipulate people into agreeing with our side" even if it's something you agree with. Mostly because you're not that well organized and someone is always going to be meaner and more importantly, better organized.

I think AI art is a great example of this. But like, it stands with almost any large scale online "hot topic" type controversy. Fast Fashion, true crime, etc.

Like they'll successfully notice the problem: AI art hurts artists. But there is no real actionable plan or goal. Like, what are we doing? Are we trying to help artists? Then let's do that! Because I'm seeing a lot of them being like "if you've ever TOUCHED Dall-e you're going to hell. Also you're a fucking LOSER and you're jealous of my art skills."

Okay, listen, babes. Some advice: when dealing with these kinds of controversies have

a realistic goal

an actionable plan

an understanding of your audience

Again, using AI art as the example: it's more realistic to advocate for artist protections within the work place and also the limiting of commercial use of AI art then to tell everyone that you disagree with that you think they're lame and stupid.

Doug, who creates AI art of his very silly very specific fetish, isn't your main target. Arguing with Tumblr user DAVIDLOVESHENTAI about how he's not a REAL artist like YOU are looks like the most childish fight in the world. Trying to sway public opinion is great but it's generally harder to do if most people have had positive associations with the thing in question. Unfortunately, you may have to make concessions.

We need to stop making the same mistakes in discourse that we've been making since 2015.

TL:DR: Go to the source of these issues. Blaming people for using the tools at their disposal is a losing proposition and is going to sour public opinion against you. "I would like to simply like to put the genie back in the bottle" is not a realistic goal with any problem.

You can be mad at me for this take, but it doesn't change the fact that bad planning and organization is a detriment to your ability achieve your own goals

Tulips -- FOTD Apr 30

Hi all 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD. I’ve finally had a bit of time to work on some of my spring flowers captured so far this year 😁 Tulips I felt like a bit of a change with my AI edits & decided to explore some different transformations 😉 This tulip is in a planter in Buchanan Street in Glasgow city centre. I thought I’d do some edits to reflect the setting 😁
