When they say "you must embrace AI" it's cause they have a financial stake in it. They spent billions and their new business models are reliant on it. They don't want to lose their money. I can't wait for this bubble to pop.

Eventually you have to accept that no matter how many different notebooks you buy, they won’t make you a better writer. For that, you need to spend a lot of money on the right pen.

People who coax chatbots into sensible answers are basically opening and closing the fridge until it contains something you wanna eat, yes, eventually you get hungrier & eat the stuff in there. But what changed was your cognition. The fridge stayed the same. You changed your mind about the contents.

Gonna put this on a sandwich board and wear it on the street while ringing a bell like a town crier:

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations,” he continued.”

There is no thinking going on here. The reason an LLM can answer a factual question is because someone has posted text on that specific question. The reason they are such good coding buddies is because people have posted immense numbers of code snippets (and that code is so strictly grammatical.)

Found a secret door in the back of my washing machine. Behind it a tiny room with rows of mice fast asleep in odd-sock sleeping bags.

If this intends to make it legally compulsory for every adult in Derry to carry something called a "Brit Card", then I'm willing to offer some high-paid consultancy on why this plan might be flawed.

This COVID outbreak is no joke, gang. Lots of folks turning up positive. Time to

* Get that new Vax if you can

* Stock up on masks

* Stock up on COVID tests - they are selling out

* Make a battle plan to take care of yourself if you need to quarantine

* Avoid larger events if you are vulnerable

Had the best time at @scribelounge.bsky.social Live last weekend, brilliant to be there in person with so many writing pals. Massive thanks to the whole SL team and all the panelists. What a fabulous event!

Research 2025. Have had to order a second hand book because the moment anything from Before The Internet becomes part of a controversy From Internet Days, you can no longer find any other information about it online by searching. The now floods the past completely. History gets buried.

Is a dragon plaguing your land? A fix from medieval Wales:

1. Dig a hole, fill it w/mead, & cover w/a sheet.

2. Wait for the dragon to tire itself out & turn into a pig.

3. Let the pig fall in the hole, get wrapped in the sheet & drink all the mead.

4. Capture the drunk pig in a chest & bury it.
Oxford, Jesus College MS 111, fol. 130r. A drawing of a two-legged dragon in red, marking a run-on at the bottom of a page. His long tail is curled behind him and in front of him is the run-on and a red rectangle with some cross hatching. Three lines of text in Middle Welsh are visible above the dragon.

Nigel Farage claims his mass deportation plan would save the UK hundreds of billions of pounds over the coming decades.

New analysis of official statistics, forecasts and Reform's own figures suggests it would actually *cost* the UK hundreds of billions over the same period

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off."

'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.'

We hope neither carries you off today.

AI is 10 friends passing the same $5 bill back and forth between each other but every time they get it they say they earned $5.

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.”

AI ‘Workslop’ Is Killing Productivity and Making Workers Miserable
AI slop is taking over workplaces. Workers said that they thought of their colleagues who filed low-quality AI work as "less creative, capable, and reliable than they did before receiving the output."

Hello everything sucks right now and you might be wondering what you can do to fix it. The short answer is the same as it was last week:

Help people. Build community. And fight the attempts to divide us.
