Me before becoming a CS professor: "with tightly scoped and heavily regulated use-cases, it's worth developing an extremely limited form of AI"
Me after 3 years as a CS professor: "we have to destroy all AI of any and every kind immediately and ban any future development work of any kind"

Please note: it's deeply offensive to send AI-generated slop to someone who writes for a living, and say "I've made a start" or similar. If you want my skills, ask for them. Don't engage the Expensive Mistake Machine and then make it clear you think what I do is the same.

Just got an email from the alumni office at my old school, inviting me to a talk by former pupil, arch-Brexiteer and climate denialist Lord Frost. I'm tempted to ask if rotten fruit and vegetables will be provided on the day, or if I should bring my own.

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

Right. Here's my big pitch:
Muppet James Bond
James Bond in…A Heart-Felt Goodbye
Dominic Cooper as Bond
Kermit M Frog
Mrs Moneypiggy
Beaker & Dr Bunsen HoneyQ
The agents of G.O.N.Z.O. want to kidnap the world's chickens. MI5 has a mole (Rizzo the Rat). An agent is undercover as a chef in Sweden.

Back home from a splendid few days at @novacon.bsky.social, catching up with lovely friends, having nice conversations, and listening to fascinating talks. Pudding seems moderately pleased to see me ("What time do you call this, and just where the hell have you been for the last few days?")
