Longitude and our neurons of navigation

After moving from Europe to Australia my sense of East and West was completely broken. I would exit a building and turn the wrong way all the time.

Having done a lot of navigation/sailing in my youth, my brain automatically was computing east/west based on the sun being in the south.

A rare disadvantage of having learned to navigate by the sun.

I generally have no idea which way is east or west unless the sun is quite low in the sky, or I already know the area and just know the layout.

Getting really sick of these AI gen graphics on blog posts and YouTube vids to the point it’s an automatic back click when I see one. I hope it ends.

I don't think it will. They can just make it generate more Corporate Memphis-y images so you will feel comfortable citizen.

I think what bothers me is you can make some pretty cool - and artistically novel - things with gen AI.

But this type of “throw a bunch of random keywords related to the blog/video content and go brrrrr on MidJounrey” is just trash.
