ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

Love this ❤️ Would love to do a career retrospective piece on Katie Melua with an interview to match one day 🥲
Last week at Ronnie Scott's was more of a gathering than a concert, just 200 of us, so we kept it secret. Just me, the band, our close circles, a few club members and a few of you who got the heads-up by email.

There was a time when I was seeing plays in London for £10 a seat. I was seeing people like Jude Law, Judi Dench, David Tennant, Daniel Radcliffe and Catherine Tate in starring roles. This was ten years ago. Post-pandemic prices at one of the theatres I used to visit are now £70 for the worst seats.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

We got to write about Maddy Hellstrom's new single 'Sophomore', a meeting of minds, music and romance. This track is influenced by Maddy's love of African soukous, with her rapid guitar performances and dynamic drum layering from producer Christian Medice.

Someone asked me recently if I use AI to write the pieces on my website. I was so insulted. The very foundation of Moths and Giraffes was built on being sick of seeing lazy write-ups for independent artists.
I will never, ever use AI to write anything you see on my website.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.
