Just booked a taxi. The AI interface on my phone read the confirmation email, added an event called "bus" to my calendar, set it for 2 hours ahead of the time I'm actually travelling and then alerted me that I need to start driving NOW to make my appointment at my home, the place where I already am.

I wrote about Oura's security and privacy practices earlier this year for this.weekinsecurity.com, and found:

• Oura rings *don't* end-to-end encrypt users' health data;
• Oura *can* access its users' data;
• Oura told me that the company *has* received U.S. government demands for users' data.

I will be on RTE's The Business tomorrow morning to discuss my work on the gender pay gap. Show starts at ten and I expect to be the first guest on. Per usual, they'll have folks ringing in to say I'm talking nonsense, so if you're listening, please consider dropping them a message to say I'm not :D

Concerning Muskopedia
A colleague send me this arXiv paper. The abstract reads: Elon Musk released Grokipedia on 27 October 2025 to provide an alternative to Wikipedia, the crowdsourced online encyclopedia. In this paper, we provide the first comprehensive analysis of Grokipedia and compare it to a dump of Wikipedia, with a focus on article similarity and citation practices. Although Grokipedia articles are much longer than their corresponding English Wikipedia articles, we find that much of Grokipedia's content (including both articles with and without Creative Commons licenses) is highly derivative of Wikipedia.
