A cocaine skeptic starts an unwise habit – Notes from a data witch
You will be shocked to learn that this is not actually a post about cocaine

A fortnight ago, I posted a blog post about the risk of mass deaths given the #metoffice predictions for summer temperatures mid-century; but then I noticed I'd made a significant mistake, and rolled it back.
I've now revised it. It's not quite as bleak as it was. It's pretty bleak.

The 'everyone dies' event comes home
On 23^rd June, the Meteorological Office published a [blog post](https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2026/uk-could-see-45c-by-2056-scientists-reflect-on-1976-heatwave-anniversary) in which they claimed that 'UK could see 45°C by 2056'. As you'll know, I've blogged before of the issue of [excessive heat events](https://www.journeyman.cc/blog/posts-output/2021-11-15-the-everyone-dies-event-class/) in our changing climate.

Often it's in illustrations for blog posts—but if the author of the post chooses to use slop to illustrate their post I absolutely 100% cannot trust anything they wrote because _I don't even know if they wrote it_.
You should not repost this stuff to the people who _choose to follow you for what you have to say_.

Paint the Cameras Dead: Postcards for pushing back against surveillance. | Product Hunt
Not every project needs an app, an AI model or another screen. Paint the Cameras Dead is a physical set of postcards made for the street, not the cloud. Each card helps you notice surveillance cameras hiding in plain sight, ask who controls them and map what you find. Print them, share them, leave them in cafés, libraries or community spaces, and use them today. No download, no account, no update cycle. Just paper, attention and a small act of resistance.

Prompt engineering is a moving target. Here's my rundown on how GPT-5.5 and Claude 4.7 reward clarified output over magical incantations, and what it means for AI literacy https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonippolito_the-lates…

The fact Instagram and all other social networks now have some AI slop feature that allows you to generate captions or whole posts with AI, but NO FEATURE TO GENERATE IMAGE DESCRIPTION / ALT TEXT should tell you all you need to know next time one of these ghouls pretends their new technology will really help disabled or marginalized people (this time for sure)
