Photo-editing on the iPad using Photomator is such a joy. I can’t wait to go with the upcoming iPad Pro. The iPad is the perfect devide for photo-editing with the Apple Pencil. With the switch to the OLED technology, it will be even better.

AI Training: Ethics or Coverage?

Some authors on the internet are against using their content without permission to train the models behind generative AI. As a blogger, this question often comes to my mind. On one hand, I believe that training without permission poses an ethical issue. I am unsure if we have genuinely addressed this question as a society. On the other hand, I question the danger of many authors wanting to silence their voices by blocking the training process to access their online content. Now more than ever, I feel that all voices are essential in ensuring that model training reflects our diversity as much as possible. I don’t want bots and haters to win the race. We, as authors, need to offer resistance. I’m not sure how this challenge will be solved, if ever.

Micro posts don’t sit well on the platform, either. For all that, there’s no better platform than Micro.blog.

I’m afraid I have to disagree. I found a great use case, for me, for Scribbles. Blips. I recently discovered that posts without titles are no longer shown in the Explore section of Scribbles. Sad. Yet, I’m a big supporter of Scribbles.

One Big Regret of My Digital Life

One of the things I regret the most is not having had the idea of creating a blog in the 90s (and keeping it until today). Surprisingly, I learned about HTML, web servers like Apache and Netscape when it became popular1. I didn’t click with the idea of owning a small portion of the Internet to share what I was becoming at that time. What a missed opportunity.

  1. It’s not exactly true. I used to have and maintain a website about a subject that I still find fascinating: meteorology, circa 1994. ↩︎

I spent part of my morning testing the creation of a GPT that has the function of producing a summary of the article referenced by a URL. The summary must be divided into three parts: a paragraph, a list of key elements, and finally a list of keywords. It’s easy to use and the results are usually excellent. However, to my surprise, many authors block access to engines like ChatGPT. This GPT will be used with Omnivore but integration is not possible. I need to copy and paste the article’s original URL into the GPT.
