I was going to watch @lucyworsley.bsky.social's Victorian murder club on the BBC. Then I saw that they use genAI. I turned it off immediately.

The Swedish for "fast charger" is

SNABBLADDARE

(Don't buy this snabbladdare, it's not safe. Detail: ec.europa.eu/safety-gate-...)
EU plug usb c fast charger. Brand is LE-ON. Box is black and bronze. The charger is white. In Finnish it is a pikalaturi, which sounds like a cute rodent. In Swedish it is a snabbladdare, which sounds like a crocodile gobbling up its dinner. Picture taken from the EU safety gate website cos this charger isn't safe!

Happy birthday to #mathematician & #computerscientist US Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper (1906-1992) who popularized the revolutionary idea of developing machine-independent programming languages based on English. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci

As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.

Barclaycard blocked a transaction because of recent suspicious activity:

- the hollow knight soundtrack
- a crowbar

What, am I psyching myself up for a heist I've been trying to get round to for months??

Did scientists use AI to find an enzyme to break down polyurethane? Yes.
Was it generative AI? No.
Some AI is useful. Some AI is generative AI. There is no overlap.

Generative AI is a disease! I drew & painted this one myself, thus distributing creative work back to the humans ✊
At first glance a lovely nativity scene, but when you look closely you can see it’s in the manner of AI: everything is wrong. Animals have no heads or two many, the angels are lumpen doughballs, Mary’s face is shouting and Joseph has so many hands. Baby Jesus is a croissant. Overhead is written ‘AWAY IN AI MANGER’

It’s not just that people don’t know there are simpler ways to do things. It’s that they’re being TOLD to integrate Ai into everything. I’m reminded, again, of the radium craze. Radium is not magic and nor is Ai. Both are, unfortunately, harmful.

Original from @mariyadelano.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gy
Mariya Delano @mariyadelano@hachyderm.io I've been testing a theory: many people who are high on #Al and #LLMs are just new to automation and don't realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero Al involved. So far it's been working! Whenever I've been asked to make an Al flow or find a way to implement Al in our work with a client, l've returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 Al. Things like "when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y" And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on Al have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.

This is how you do wash trading. All these companies are investing in each other paying each other bits of the same trillion dollars in order to make it look like they’re so close to AGI so investors will keep giving them money to lose.

This is also known as a Junkie’s promise.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success". When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be. ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich. "Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."
