Yeah on one hand the field of evolutionary algorithms is fascinating and I can see potential. But on the other hand it's being run into the ground by people forcing it into everything. It's also not human-readable so people might think they know what they're getting but really don't because of the black box nature of it.

    Caught this starling sitting there with feathers out, not the best picture but it settled down shortly after.

    Taken in Buckinghamshire, UK, March 2026

    Yeah I don't know why I didn't close the aperture down way more, there was plenty of light...

    Just a robin (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I've been taking random bird pictures for about a year now so thought I'd put some up in places where they get a bit more visibility. Here's a robin I found a few weeks ago. I also have no clue how to put a second image in the post so I'll probably put it as a comment. Small edit: Also forgot to add some details. This was taken in Wolverton, UK 03.03.2026
