Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Well, this is FUN. I make approximately £20 a year off Redbubble and some cunt is still stealing my work (ironically I don’t even sell this piece anymore as I’m slowly phasing out fanart…) - I fucking hate it here www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1523...

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

No Spotify Unwrapped from me because…

People are really struggling with the cost of living crisis, the rise of the right, the continuing pressures of pandemic health issues, the climate crisis, corporations screwing us over, forever spiralling rents, the ever precarious job market etc…

Billionaire wealth has doubled since the pandemic. Where's Labour's focus on taxing wealth so we can cut housing, energy and public transport costs? That's how you fix Britain. Not by targeting people who are already struggling to get help.

I’ve just had an email from my publicist.
As in, I have a publicist now.
They asked me what my favourite horror movies are.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?

Just say no, kids - uninstall, disable and refuse to engage. Resist and make it as difficult as you can for them - make real art, read real books, research the old fashioned way, do *anything* but use their shitty Clippy Mk II plagiarism machine.

His widow, Cat, has invited friends to leave messages and donations in his memory to Macmillan, Matt's chosen charity. I've helped set up a memorial page so please feel free to share this to anyone who knew and loved him.
