I stand against all doomsday scare mongering about AI ... now even the sad clowns in Westmister (UK MPs) have jumped on the bandwagon of the doomer hoax ... with fanatsies of empowerment to control and reign in AI progress .. aye aye ... scale down the power and budget of these clowns who know nothing except demagogy ...

Doctors don’t let you operate because you watched a YouTube video.
But Architects still let almost anyone operate CAD software to design a building.
What's THAT about?
Come and discuss:

Liam Young, an architect but also a film maker, has a fascinating exhibition at the Barbican on world-building and imagining currentlyl. Are his creations distopias or utopias? We spoke about Andor, populism and the entertainment industry.

Perfectly imperfect. If you want to gauge the crisis at the heart of continental Europe's culture, then get thee to Brussels. First link to a great @dispatch__media overview. Second to a @machine_books produced podcast on Europe's most important new art museum being built there.

The main purpose of Anglo-Futurism is to reveal how conservatives today have no visual language of growth. Cornish villages on the moon is not “a thought experiment” but the daft place you find yourself in when as soon as you imagine a possibility you render it dead through an attempt to make it safe, knowable, legible.

In 2023 the FT published allegations about Sir David Adjaye's sexual relations with staff members. This month, the architect of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History has three major new museums opening. For the first time, he responds to those allegations.

Looking at architecture through the binary perspective of the two camps, modernist vs. traditionalist, will never provide a satisfactory answer in my view, which I debated with my fellow panelists in this exciting discussion on @DohaDebates stage. Join us today! 👇🏻
Some mourn the loss of traditional architecture, others embrace modernity. But must we choose?
Architects, designers, philosophers and global youth come together in our latest debate to ask: Can heritage, beauty and utility co-exist in today’s built world?
Debate premieres October 28 ➡️youtube.com/watch?v=m4M0dn7t…

Nairn had a strong strain of misanthropy to him. For someone who liked to drink himself stupid alone, he was remarkably intolerant of others who enjoyed to have a few in company.
