If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

Has anyone paid enough attention to the "AI* WILL KILL US ALLLLLL" crowd to understand what the mechanism is supposed to be? (Yes, I know the talk of regulation is mostly to dig a moat around their businesses and cut out Chinese competition.) (* putative AI wot doesn't exist, obviously.)

I remain pissed off that “technology” has come to refer to a subset of the electronics industry. Another impoverishment of our intellectual landscape.

Every time I start feeling that my scepticism of LLM bollocks might be swamped by the tsunami of propaganda I remember that people believe in religions and gods too. We are so fucking gullible as a species.

Anyone got a recommendation for best* UK mobile service with an eSIM? Son that’s moved to London for college needs a UK number for his Irish phone. * I realise it’s a low bar.

I find it _interesting_ that most modern portrayals of fairy tales involve kings, knights, princesses and so forth - the privileged aristocratic classes on top of the social pyramid. Even if the protagonist of such a tale is poor, they are still secretly from privileged parents, and their story […]

You don’t win an election under proportional representation unless you get to form the executive. FPTP brain is apparently unavoidable even for journalists who live under PR systems. (You can be the largest party but that doesn’t give you power unless you can form a coalition.)

Spent the day planning a four day road trip from London back to Dublin touring around southern England, which weirdly enough I’ve never really seen. Mostly a literary tour to get a feel for what all those places are like and to take the 15 year old history buff on a trip through landscapes he’s […]

Long lenses compress perspective and make things that are far apart seem close together. I feel today is a good day to repeat the mantra “the camera always lies”. People’s media literacy is abysmal, even for the stuff that’s been around for ever. #photography
