Fantastic #YAC meeting today at the Ure with Dr. Edward A. S. Ross (he/him) on #AI! We learned about the possibilities & the pitfalls of AI for generating images & the high environmental impact of the technology. The group created AI ancient towns using prompts - with some hilarious results!🚽

It was a brilliant time talking to #YAC about #GenAI ethics and biases about the ancient world! If you want to try this activity out, come join us at #BeingHuman2024 on November 7th, 2024 to try your hand a building an ancient city! beinghumanfestival.org/events/paintin…

Now that they've been inducted into the LEGO Classicists Empire Annie & Percy Ure are going to visit their grandchildren, who now live in Crete, but on their way, they come across Theseus heading into the labyrinth... (thank you Michael age 11 for the animation) #ILCD25 #ILCD2025
