My gateway drug was the OG King's Quest from 1984! In an age before there was an online to search for hints, my brother and I managed to solve 2 out of the 3 major questlines, and all we could use were text prompts. I'm pretty chuffed with that! #RPGsForLife

Laughed my way through Wanging on Live with Graham Norton and Maria McErlane last night at the beautifully renovated King's Theatre #Edinburgh. Didn't the old girl scrub up nicely! Also, very smug to have gone to something festivally without actually having to brave the city centre 😬

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

What an absolute beauty of a gravestone! St Cuthbert's, Edinburgh #MementoMori
Photograph of a very old and very weathered gravestone in a leafy St Cuthbert's graveyard, Edinburgh. Tilted at an angle, with skulls on either side and an angel at the top, and a parted curtain design to show the too faded to read inscription.
