So on Wednesday’s stream I made a mistake 👀👀 I didn’t read out @AdrianMoore-vj1pb becoming a new member on stream!! I am so sorry for missing that in the chat as I believe welcoming people as members is one of the most important things I do!! I hope you see this and can pop into the stream on Friday so I can say sorry to you there and of course give you a proper shout out!!
The Sky’s the Limit . Have you ever stood outside, craned your head back as far as it would go, staring into the blue abyss above as a plane slips through your field of vision?
The sun delicately glistens on the fuselage as white, puffy contrails cascade behind with the force and constancy of a waterfall.
Ever thought about what airline it is and where it may be going? That there may be hundreds of people on board, reading, eating, chatting, or maybe even glancing down, trying to spot someone just like you, gazing up at them?
There was a time before apps that track every flight and every measurement, as though you too need to know the altitude and ground speed along with the pilots.
A time when you could use your imagination and wonder what exotic and distant land they were flying to. Full of people ready for adventure, new cultures, and the excitement travel brings with it.
Next time you look up, resist the urge and put the tracking app down. Go back to a world of imagination.
In a time when we seem to know almost everything, there’s value in not knowing, in letting your mind wander and embracing the adventure it creates.
The Dark Side of the Plane . This image is not perfect. It’s not sharp due to the distance and heat haze. The lighting isn’t great. The edit is the best I can get with what I have to work with.
What this shows, however, is that it’s real.
AI can produce the perfect image, so it’s time to embrace real, unpolished, and imperfect pictures.
I don’t deny that AI can be useful. It can help brainstorm or organise your day. It can summarise vast amounts of data so you know where to look. What it cannot do is replace a human, and I hope it never will.
When we dreamt about the future, we were promised the robots were doing the housework and boring tasks so we had time to spend doing what we loved. Why is it then that AI is doing all the creative work whilst we still mop the floors?
Too many people chase numbers and validation on social media, so they turn to AI to help them. It’s getting hard to spot. I’m now in a mindset that most pictures and videos are not real, unless proven otherwise.
As for text?

That’s not over-analysing what you’re reading. That’s spotting a pattern.
If you use ChatGPT a lot, you’ll recognise the above.
Embrace the wonky, weird, and imperfect things we all create. Leave the perfect AI images and posts to those who don’t or don’t care to understand what creativity really is.
Well what a disaster this morning was 🤣. I’m really sorry about not being able to stream but the issue was beyond my means of control. I’ve put a ticket in with my service provider and hopefully that will be sorted for Wednesday. I won’t even start with the pop up stream I did as that was even worse 🤣 But hey I got the Emirates before the signal went. I will say I’m sorry to John Walton for not getting his torch whilst going to Belfast today, Henry I’m also sorry for not catching your grandparents flight and Ian who was off to Paris later. I hope you have a fantastic Monday I’m off to get a shower after coming home caked in mud 🙄 Take Care

Have you ever stood outside, craned your head back as far as it would go, staring into the blue abyss above as a plane slips through your field of vision?
