Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Think I have really confused the youtube algorithm. The other day I was watching a strange Japanese chef wearing a Japanese theatre mask showing the do's and don'ts of frying mushrooms. I am now watching The Rest is History on The French Revolution-which is great fun.

Here is what will happen to the BBC. The licence fee will switch over to subscription and you will be asked if you want to keep paying it yes/no. If no you will not see BBC channels. The radio output will be hived to a new commercial venture with lots of loud adverts about health insurance. #BBC

I have started watching Amazon's remake of 'Carrie'. Sissy Spacek's Carrie is still seared in my memory though. Much more of modern settting this as well. So I suppoes there will be a whole layer of Social Media that King never had to play with in the book. #Carrie

Leith Blimey, Easter Rd was logged jammed earlier because the temp road traffic lights had failed near the Lidl store side. Was resulting in a game of chicken by cars going up the way. Hopefully they have that fixed now or there was going to be an accident.

Brian McRoberts @brimcrob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Scottish Football International break was mixed bag for Scotland. Pocognoli did not get the line up right on the last game. I would have played Bowie instead of McBurnie. Apart from that we looked knackered and all out of ideas but the last game. Oh well.

Brian McRoberts @brimcrob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Have a good one!

I hope you are right, that second half was inept and insipid.

Scottish Football Scotland's last game for this international fortnight. I hope that the team can go at Slovenia like they did in the second half in the away game. Think it will be pretty much the same line up, changes for red card etc. #UEFANationsLeauge
