@gwr.com a huge thank you to the staff at Bath Spa station yesterday for helping the Christmas crowds get on the trains safely. Everyone was friendly and helpful and it felt really well organised.

Yes, this was a wonderful episode.
I’ve listened to the Aesop episode 1 twice over already. Beautiful, thought provoking, intriguing, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever listened to. 👏

📜 New AESOP I - Virtue Signaller or Fake News Merchant? 🏛️

Part One of Three: Stories have had a moral for as long as we've had stories. So why is Aesop, enduringly, one of the few moralists we accept can dish it out?

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

LISTEN no one talks about this enough but the weird little monkey part of our brain really needs us to sit around in small groups, with no particular end goal or plan in mind, and just talk

“A lot of the anxiety [around assisted dying] has to do with cultural, rather than legislative failings: how we treat older people, how we treat illness, how we treat incapacity, how we treat disability, how we value or devalue life. Those things require a cultural shift.”
