Abstract
In this age where everything is a cheap import from China and nothing has any real value anymore, where every foreigner coming here is a potential terrorist, our politicians have terrorised us into sacrificing some of our hard fought for rights and freedoms, and we seem happy to meekly sign them away as long as interest rates stay low and we can have lots of cheap plastic junk.I believe that we are entering the new dark ages where humanism, education and the rule of science are being eroded, to be replaced with the new voodoo, ignorance and superstition.The work in the exhibition: "Dirty Little Secrets" (Legge Gallery, New South Wales, Australia) is the result of this approach and the last two years' research.It follows my last show here of local porcelains.This new work is dark and not made from clay in the normal sense.The material is an interesting mixture of decomposing basic igneous rock fragments and dirt that I collect locally.This 'clay-like' unusual stuff does not respond to normal clay working procedures.It tested me and defeated me for some time, but as continued on page 7 gallery of Bc ceramics

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
