Make that 4. Feed still hasn't refreshed. It should be buzzing.

We scored three goals since my feed last refreshed. @support.bsky.team

Once again, @bsky.app completely useless for accompanying live sports. ~20 minute wait for feed to refresh.

It took Thierry Henry 18 games to score three goals for Arsenal. Not saying Gyokeres is the next Henry, just that people have unrealistic expectations and poor memories.

“After a five minute review of the incident from multiple angles we've decided it was a clear and obvious error from the referee.”

Sky promoting the Gary Neville Podcast during that game… what kind of sicko listens to that?!

That sound you hear is all the sports journos frantically rewriting their reports. Sorry we spoiled your narrative. #Arsenal

Look, last post 31 minutes ago. Two goals in that time, but I can't join in the conversation. @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

@bsky.app @support.bsky.team Terrible performance for following live sports. The feed of my team took over 10 minutes to update at best, almost 30 minutes at the end of the game. Missed all the best talking points, really disappointing.

People (rightly) bring up Her when talking about our current relationship with AI assistants, but Ex Machina deserves more attention. It raises the idea that *even if we’ve been explicitly shown that something is a machine*, we might still believe it’s conscious. Clear parallels to “AI psychosis”.

“Martinelli is finished, we should have sold him” — a genius. #Arsenal

Don't try and divert the conversation. You said “objectively bad" when you're being highly subjective.

Loool the three of them have started three games together, so your “objectively bad” doesn't come from a strong pool of evidence.

Lilya 4-ever. Unbelievably powerful, I sobbed through the second half, don't think I could ever face it again.

At this stage of the season, at a place like this, the result is more important than the performance. #Arsenal

First VR of #Fortnite S6E4. Hardly a classic, but they all count.

The Man Who Invented Motion Pictures is one of the best books I’ve read lately. The story of the invention of cinema and the processes of #innovation. You can listen to the audiobook, read by the ace Paterson Joseph, on BBC Sounds (free in the UK) for the next 24 days.

A substantial portion of the press has lost its mind over AI. I know you can't fully expect impartial reporting from an industry which sees the technology as an existential threat, but the result is that reasonable and important critique is drowned out by hysteria.

It’s summer in the UK, which means it’s fruit season. If you’re able, get yourself along to your local farm shop or market and buy anything you can get your hands on. Today I bought cherries, strawberries, and greengages, delicious and fresh off the plant. To hell with your Dubai chocolate.

OpenAI says ChatGPT has ~500 million weekly active users. Google says Gemini has ~450 million monthly active users. And still people will tell you that LLMs are useless because they tried them once and were disappointed.
