Here's an interview with me on ABC Radio National about my new book, "Charles Todd's Magnificent Obsession: the epic race to connect Australia to the world". Thanks @AllenAndUnwin abc.net.au/listen/program…
In 2005, we built a robot that could talk like Philip K. Dick. It won “Robot of the Year.” Then its head got lost on a flight to Google HQ. 20 years later, I’m reflecting on what that strange, brilliant project taught me about curiosity and courage in AI. 👉
My book Radio Girl (2020) is the biography of this remarkable woman. I’m glad that she is being honoured in this terrific song. Great work Daniel.
Recorded the song I wrote five years ago for Florence Violet McKenzie, OBE at the plaque set up for her in 2023 in Campbell, ACT. @Australian_Navy #WRANS @AWMemorial @abcnews @daviddufty youtu.be/TFZts2WjYhU

The Chicago Sun-Times published an upcoming summer books list that is obviously AI. The clues are that there is no byline and at least 8 of these titles do not exist.
We saw The Count of Monte Cristo (2024) at the local French Film Festival tonight. Every seat in the cinema was taken. It was magnificent.
Reading about the insane numbers of books that ordinary working people used to read a hundred years ago feels like seeing pictures of the Pacific Ocean back when it teemed with whales. Hard to comprehend what we’ve lost.

when you think about it, it’s pretty cool that they invented software engineering as a way to monetize being smart
It's admittedly impressive that AI can create any kind of video content, but none of these AI-made videos make sense. They are also absurdly formulaic and cliche (while not making any sense).
AI video has started to produce mindblowing results and could eventually disrupt Hollywood. (part 5) Here are the best AI videos I've found:
I'm pleased to announce that a new edition of my award-winning 2017 nonfiction book "The Secret Code Breakers of Central Bureau", about Australian code-breaking activities in the 2nd world war, is now available in paperback. booktopia.com.au/the-secret-cod…

Wow. I hope this portends what it seems to.
