On Monday, one traffic cone. On Tuesday, two traffic cones. Based on the dataset we can extrapolate that Edinburgh must signify the days of the week by adding traffic cones to the Duke of Wellington statue. That or we should probably ensure we have enough data to form the right conclusions.

Very interesting! Now let’s be sensible about this, there have been no incidents with this. But it’s interesting enough to consider self-replicating worm-like prompt injections. Fusing old threats with new. Nice! alignment.openai.com/misalignment...

Got out of bed, had breakfast and now on my way to Edinburgh! Should get there around 10:30pm and will probably be starving! Anyone know of any good food places open?

Morning! Honestly didn’t realise how much giving blood yesterday would drain me! Other than eat, watch F1 and F1 Academy I slept through all yesterday. Gonna rest more today. An interesting thing is that a nurse said that you burn 600 calories when you give blood. One to remember next time.

I’m going to start by saying AI is an incredibly useful tool. In Digital Forensics, automated tooling increases productivity where time is short. But they would need to verify the findings these tools produce if used as evidence. We need to do more of that with AI in software.
When asked who was the last prime minister to be both elected into and voted out of office in the England and Wales, AI replied Margaret Thatcher with strict reasoning of each PM prior to explain why they were not suitable. However when asked who replaced Margaret Thatcher as PM the reply was John Major. Previously the AI had said Margaret Thatcher was voted out and succeeded by Tony Blair in 1997When stated that if John Major replaced Margaret Thatcher then that cannot be the right answer the AI agrees and instead offers John Major to be the last PM for this to happen to, despite John Major being PM for two years before people voted him in. After some deliberation we find that Edward Heath is the last PM.

Ever wanted to do something nice by cooking a 3 course meal for your partner or friend but aren’t sure on where to start? All of this came to just over a tenner in Aldi (not an ad just where I bought it), strawberries from M&S. It only takes a max of 10 mins per course to cook.

Did you know that some of the more recent cases of Tetanus and deaths from it, contracted it by doing gardening. It's quite common to find Tetanus spores in soil, and ofc you're using gardening tools or maybe dealing with roses... So ya, if it's been 5+ years, please get a booster. 🙂
