hold up - will confidently interject on any subject, often with significant errors - can't actually read, instead relies on an elaborate method of parsing context through structure & likely words - looks financially impressive, actually built on huge amounts of unsustainable debt

Dunno, I tried so-called "hot food" once, when I was in America, and it took 20 minutes of waiting and spitting until it was cold and wet enough to eat. I don't know how they have the nerve to call it fast-food.

Dreamed that my wife had joined Bluesky and one of my mutuals DM'd her, to explain in detail why they hated me. It was all to do with a joke I'd made about a glass-bottomed boat, apparently. More less-cheese-before-bedtime news as we have it.

*extremely tired voice*AI agents don't "go rogue". They are not sentient; they don't have agency. They work within guardrails set by humans. If the humans are so shit at building secure sandboxes for the agents to work within, that's on the humans. Stop using this framing.

Over on Twitter, some nutter claims to have found Noah's Ark and says, "When we are done, University curriculums will need to be re-written, and Darwinism will be dismantled." In response to a reply, saying you couldn't fit every species of animal onto a single boat, she replies…

A tweet, saying that Noah probably only bought two of every kind of animal, not every species, and adaptation and breeding since then has created the species. Which sounds a bit like, you know, Darwinism.

One of the key problems with AI is that the AI bros and their behemoth companies have absolutely no governance or guardrails. It's not that the AI is conscious or going rogue or whatever. It's that it's run by feckless arseholes. www.ft.com/content/2c34...
