Customer: I asked ChatGPT what I should read and -- Me: Well I'm sure its advice is *great* because LLMs are all just massive databases of books stolen from me and my fellow writers. Customer: Wow I did not know that. Keep telling people. Also if you want to know what to read, ask a bookseller.

Private equity turns to financial engineering to lure insurance billions. Using collateralised fund obligations (CFOs), slicing and dicing debts, loans, to create dodgy instruments. Back to the practices that brought the 2008 crash. Who will bail them out this time? archive.ph/vrBQn

Apparently more than one outlet has been doing the bizarre "interview AI generated actor Tilly Norwood" thing and on Piers Morgan it glitches out and starts speaking Chinese. I promise its much, much funnier than it sounds.

Oh, honey . . . You place your children in the custody of priests, pastors, and youth pastors, a demographic proven most likely to molest children. You are *not* protecting and nurturing your children—you're endangering them. And shamelessly lying about Islam and feminism isn't going to change that.

A fair deal for waste pickers in the Global South.
Repa connects individuals and businesses with people who collect and sort plastic waste for a living. Working with local entrepreneurs, mobile technology, community agents and trusted transporters, we support fair, sustainable and circular markets for waste plastic in countries where plastic pollution is overwhelming communities.
