I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

I was chatting to a farmer student the other evening, and I predicted that it would be ages before The Telegraph sale was resolved, after the collapse of the Redbird deal.
Not one of my better predictions. In fact, it has aged like rancid butter.

Shrimp Jesus and other unexpected results of the AI boom
AI is at once more ubiquitous and less useful than people think. Navigating the coming flood of generated content is going to be a challenge.

In the rush to headline “AI is transforming journalism”, we are losing sight of what really matters: the audience. AI must not become the strategy. Especially when data suggests audiences remain sceptical of purely AI-generated journalism.

Managed to clear 100 GB or so of cruft off my aging, but still perfectly serviceable, M1 MacBook Pro, and it’s amazing how much better it performs with some free storage space again.

Anyone who actively remembers the mid-70s is going go be in their late 50s upwards. (I was an early 70s baby and have only fragmentary memories until the late 70s).
They're not remembering the real 70s, but the protected version of it their parents created for them in their childhood and teens.
