IN the "old" days photography enriched opportunities for artists and transformed the artistic landscape; AI art has taken away opportunities for artists and ultimately has contributed little to the art landscape. Photographers have proven to be capable of creating meaning beyond mere mechanism; AI artists lack the ability to create meaning because the artistic process is only a mechanism. Photography requires skill that directly relates to the output; AI art does not require skill or intentionality. Photography captures things that already exist in a transformative way; AI simply imitates without intentional or meaningful transformation.
While photography has expanded the realm of artistic expression, AI art threatens to undermine it–and thus is unlikely to be accepted as a true artistic medium.

Happy Yule/Winter Solstice to all my friends and visitors!
Celtic Yule Celebration
Yule or Yuletide ("Yule time" or "Yule season") is a festival historically observed by the Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected the original celebrations of Yule to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht.
Later departing from its pagan roots, Yule underwent Christianised reformulation, resulting in the term Christmastide. Many present-day Christmas customs and traditions such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others stem from pagan Yule traditions. Terms with an etymological equivalent to Yule are still used in Nordic countries and Estonia to describe Christmas and other festivals occurring during the winter holiday season. Today, Yule is celebrated in Wiccan and other forms of Neopaganism.

Thanks so much for taking a closer look and for your faves, comments and invitations!
Bad Hair Day 😄
Can AI "photos" coexist with the "traditional" imagery? Who are we kidding. Can't imagine a Hollywood movie without AI. too many to mention
Do you feel "betrayed" when (if) you found out a photo was an Artificial "photo"... are we getting used to being "lied" too?
Things are likely to become yet more complex as use of artificial intelligence by artists becomes more widespread, and as the machines get better at producing creative works, further blurring the distinction between artwork that is made by a human and that made by a computer.

A beautifully shaped ceramic vase, featuring a glossy surface with an artistic design positioned on the table covered by a soft silken subtle light green fabric, surrounded by delicate pink roses and cherry blossom petals, creating a serene and vibrant scene. The vase is predominantly green with swirling patterns of deep blue and hints of vibrant orange. Its curvy silhouette adds elegance, and the glossy finish reflects light, enhancing the rich colors of the artwork. The background is a neutral display shelf, blurred allowing the vase's artistic details to stand out. A masterpiece of realistic perfectionism. Perfect imagery of a beautiful vase.

I for one think we are blurring the future. Can we trust what we see? Do you accept this "new" way of looking at things?

itans of the Abyss: The Relentless Struggle
This collection explores the visceral confrontation between human engineering and the untamed power of the open ocean. Through a series of cinematic perspectives, we witness various vessels—massive container ships, heavy tankers, and formidable aircraft carriers—navigating through extreme maritime conditions. The visuals capture the precise moment of impact as towering swells and churning white foam crash against weathered hulls, highlighting the textures of salt-sprayed metal and the moody, leaden skies of a deep-sea tempest. Each frame serves as a study of scale, resilience, and the atmospheric tension found at the heart of a storm, where the boundaries between sea and sky blur into a singular, chaotic force.

Research from QphoX, Rigetti, and Qblox Demonstrating Optical Readout Technique for Superconducting Qubits Published in Nature Physics
GlobeNewswire
DELFT, The Netherlands and Berkeley, Calif., Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QphoX B.V., a Dutch quantum technology startup that is developing leading frequency conversion systems for quantum applications, Rigetti Computing, Inc. (RGTI.NaE) , a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, and Qblox, a leading innovator in quantum control stack development, today announced that their joint research demonstrating the ability to readout superconducting qubits with an optical transducer was published in Nature Physics.
Quantum computing has the potential to drive transformative breakthroughs in fields such as advanced material design, artificial intelligence, and drug discovery. Of the quantum computing modalities, superconducting qubits are a leading platform towards realizing a practical quantum computer given their fast gate speeds and ability to leverage existing semiconductor industry manufacturing techniques. However, fault-tolerant quantum computing will likely require 10,000 to a million physical qubits. The sheer amount of wiring, amplifiers and microwave components required to operate such large numbers of qubits far exceeds the capacity of modern-day dilution refrigerators, a core component of a superconducting quantum computing system, in terms of both space and passive heat load.
A potential solution to this problem may be to replace coaxial cables and other cryogenic components with optical fibers, which have a considerably smaller footprint and negligible thermal conductivity. The challenge lies in converting the microwave signals used to control qubits into infrared light that can be transmitted through fiber. This is where microwave-to-optical transduction comes into play, a field dedicated to the coherent conversion of microwave photons to optical photons. QphoX has developed transducers with piezo-optomechanical technology that are capable of performing this conversion, forming an interface between superconducting qubits and fiber-optics.
To demonstrate the potential of this technology, QphoX, Rigetti and Qblox connected a transducer to a superconducting qubit, with the goal of measuring its state using light transmitted through an optical fiber. The results of this collaborative effort have been published in Nature Physics. Remarkably, it was discovered that not only is the transducer capable of converting the signal that reads out the qubit, but that the qubit can also be sufficiently protected from decoherence introduced by thermal noise or stray optical photons from the transducer during operation.
"Microwave-to-optics transduction is a rapidly emerging technology with far-reaching implications for quantum computing. Our work demonstrates that transducers are now ready to interface with superconducting qubit technology. This is an exciting and crucial demonstration, with the potential for this technology being far reaching and potentially transformative for the development of quantum computers,” says Dr. Thierry van Thiel, lead author of the work and Lead Quantum Engineer at QphoX.
“Developing more efficient ways to design our systems is key as we work towards fault tolerance. This innovative, scalable approach to qubit signal processing is the result of our strong partnerships with QphoX and Qblox and showcases the value of having a modular technology stack. By allowing our partners to integrate their technology with ours, we are able to discover creative ways to solve long-standing engineering challenges,” says Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, Rigetti CEO.
“Realizing industrial-scale quantum computers comes with solving several critical bottlenecks. Many of these lie in the scalability of the readout and control of qubits. As Qblox is entirely focused on exactly this theme, we are proud to be part of this pivotal demonstration that shows that QphoX microwave-to-optical transducers are a solid route to scalable quantum computing. We look forward to the next steps with Rigetti and QphoX to scale up this technology,” says Dr. Niels Bultink, Qblox CEO.
