when ai leaves u behind

7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

✨ Looking forward to next week's session where we will look at #ALTCTRL game pads & learn how to code those in

🙏 Thx again to Dublin City Council for part-funding the workshop & to The Digital Hub for hosting. 🧵2/2

🙌 I can believe it was Coding Grace's penultimate session today of our Intro to #Python & #Electronics question series.

⚙️ From what was learnt from previous sessions, we challenged participants to interact w/ electronics on a breadboard with a #Pico using #CircuitPython. 🧵1/2

The mighty Siobhán McSweeney was presented with a print of my Gráinne Mhaol piece by the very lovely Kevin McGahern for her hard work on #TraitorsIRL, after she mentioned that Ireland's pirate queen Gráinne was a big style inspiration for her incredible outfits this season. No better woman! 👑

Photo of the bould Siobhán McSweeney in a room with light blue and white patterned wallpaper and a wooden floor, holding a framed print of mine of a linocut of Gráinne Mhaol.


#SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland #Art #TheTraitorsThe image of Gráinne Mhaol on the print.

Thank you to the 421 people who voted for me. Wow. My following is probably smaller than that 😅 so thank you. I wrote my nomination at PyLATAM in CR and heard results at PyLadies Dublin. @whykay.bsky.social told me how much a PSF visit meant. The number in the room doesn't matter. Showing up does.🧵

Dublin City Council, again, has banned poster to spare a US president's feelings. Even a version which made no direct reference to Trump and removed his image, and simply read: “No welcome for warmongers” was turned down.
