Weeknote, Sunday 30th March

  • A busy, chaotic week full of escalations and late night conversations and I look back and wonder…what just happened? It’s part of the frustration with the role – I often look back at a week and struggle to find progress.
  • Did enjoy a night with retiring colleague and some of the team. Retirement still a good bit away for me but need to get a better clarity on when.
  • Who knew Signal would dominate the news. Inviting a journalist into your supposedly secret chat group was a pretty impressive fuck up…but Trumps government will have many more and reality is this has had little consequence although hopefully its reinforced Europe’s view on America right now.
  • You couldn’t go anywhere without seeing the results of OpenAI’s new image generation added to ChatGPT. Some of my tests have generated some really impressive images including accurate text which was always one of the giveaways to an AI generated image. It’s also great fun throwing images into the engineer and redrawing as movie posters, Lego figures…whatever. The Ghibli images though were a bit much although some truly amazing.
  • Adolescence was amazing. Best thing I’ve watched in ages and it was so well crafted – the love and energy into each episode clear to see. Only ding for me was there was little on how teenagers are being influenced and damaged, a view shared here.
