I just got access to Firefly, Adobe’s new generative AI beta service. It’s supposedly trained on images that they have the rights to scan. Right now, it’s limited, but I’m intrigued. I’ll write a longer post with examples later after I’ve had a chance to experiment.

I came up with my silly U2 “The Fly” insect photo post for today, thinking that I wouldn’t have time to track down insect shots today because I was with a video crew on campus all day.

Our first stop, though, was a public health lab studying ticks, mosquitos and parasites.

Amazon is shutting down camera review website DP Review. I always thought it was weird that they were owned by Amazon, and I guess that eventually, the cost to run the site was more than DP Review generated in sales.

As someone who once drove a VW Rabbit, I have to say that I’m interested in the VW ID.2all concept. I want a small electric car, and this would be perfect. Sadly, I doubt it will ever make it to the United States.
