alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Remaining time: 4 days 6 hours

How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

under 18, less inclined

Not inked or inked (second picture)?

I tried to be a bit more light handed than usual with the inking, just to accentuate features rather than full-on linework.

I personally prefer the inked version but the original does have a nice dreamy quality to it.

been rewatching Twin Peaks and it's amazing to me how even knowing everything, this show still remains so deeply unsettling. It is a real testament to Lynch's skill as a director, and also Frost's writing chops. Really is 10/10 television to me!

🐛 Chronologischer Raupenkalender, oder, Naturgeschichte der europäischen Raupen Berlin: Im Verlage von Theodor Bade, 1837. Original source Image description: Illustration from an 1837 German natural history book depicting thirteen distinct European caterpillars, each numbered and varied in color, pattern, and body shape. The caterpillars range from vivid green and yellow striped to orange, brown, and spotted forms, some with prominent hair-like bristles. The detailed page includes scientific names below, highlighting species diversity. The caterpillars are shown in side profile on a pale beige background with fine ink outlines and watercolor shading, emphasizing anatomical features like segmentation, legs, and head shapes. The text “Taf. XXVIII” appears in the top corner, indicating this is a labeled plate from the volume.
