I remember the first time I saw the internet on a Windows 95 machine. Back when text was in Times New Roman and everything was in HTML tables.
I asked, “Who checks that this information is correct?”—meaning, who fact-checks this stuff? The answer was: no one. Anyone could publish anything.
It felt like somewhat of a weakness and I thought that it would likely be exploited by bad actors. And reader, I was correct.

If you are about to reply saying ‘no Kevin, AI is the future, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle’… that was a great talking point in 2022, which wasn’t true then either.
Generative AI is a group wank of dying men onto soggy tweets. There’s no genie and no bottle, eventually people are going to go ‘…oh, this isn’t really a game changer is it?’. No, it’s just people trying to monetise copyright theft.

Productivity increases from AI are like teenage sex. Everybody is talking about it. Not that many are experiencing it.

Quick pop in to say - LOOK - A MUSICAL MUSHROOM 🍄🟫 🎶
"This is a mushroom playing in the wild in some woods near Glossop in Manchester. The attached sensors measure bio-electrical fluctuations in the mushroom. The fluctuations are converted into signals that control the robotic arms. The keyboard playing a synth in Ableton Live. "
Big thanks to @glide for pointing me at it.

An under appreciated contributor to obnoxious phone behaviour in public is the combination of the removal of an audio jack from most phone models and the cost of wireless headphones. Who is going to give a 10 year old £250 blue tooth headphones for the school run?

Unclear if the crab transport box is required or if I could just carry an emotional support crab in my pocket for 14 hours
