Specs & cats fan. Swears a lot. Typos - nearly always. Puns likely. In Ōtautahi/Christchurch, AoNZ. Turns out I'm neuro-spicy. Woke as. Views my own, not representative of my employer.

A monkey is leaning on its paw in a thoughtful fashion. In a second picture the monkey has narrowed its eyes. In the third picture its eyes are closed and it might be biting its fist. The text says "When you notice a typo immediately after you hit send".

A view of snow covered Greenland surrounded by blue ocean with ice bergs. The island is surrounded by a large Lego wall, made of red, white, yellow, and blue bricks. It is a defensive wall with four towers spaced part way around the wall. One tower has a Danish flag. The accompanying text says Denmark is ready!

Will be watching first Ep of Taskmaster's New Year Treat tonight. Still wondering when TF TVNZ will be showing latest Champion of Champions Ep, it went out in UK before the Ep we will watch tonight.
Am I a bit Taskmaster obsessed? Possibly, but dammit it's hard to avoid spoilers this far on

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I.

On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence.
