This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

“It is highly unusual that an end-product threatens the economic foundations of its essential suppliers, but that is the situation we have created for our LLM business with respect to its ‘content supply chain.'” Yes. Because the usual thing is to PAY YOUR ESSENTIAL SUPPLIERS, NOT STEAL FROM THEM.

Yep, this has been a glaring flaw from the start, but the tech industry appears to blithely assume there will always be Content because there has always been Content in the past.

Tucker Carlson told NPR Trump has adopted a nihilist attitude toward nukes. "In the end, we all die anyway." From my notes: Bedminster, 2024. Trump asks Secret Service to fetch the iPad. He maxes the volume & plays My Way & Heartbreak Hotel. "This is the best music in the world," he tells friends.

Do you know what to do if you feel earthquake shaking? If you live in North America and the ground starts to shake the recommended action is to “drop, cover, and hold on”.

Most people do not even know someone in that earnings bracket. It looks out of touch, and even more so during a prolonged cost of living crisis. It does nothing to change the perception of the party as for the very well off.

Back on the foreshore, wash from a passing Thames Clipper nearly knocked me off my feet but also kindly deposited a lovely piece of worked bone waste. The small regular holes are evidence this was used for bead making, perhaps by the Paternosters, located nearby, who once made beads for rosaries.
