Seeking refuge from Twitter and Sunday afternoons I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Excuse me, I have just been made aware (by Reddit) that some people butter both slices of bread in a sandwich. I need to know that this is a minority of perverts, and not the done thing.

I'm re-reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson (2008), and hit this fairly prescient passage. "Crap" (well-written but subtly false information) deliberately inserted by into the "reticulum" (Internet), with the goal of then being able to sell services to filter […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]
Screenshot of a few paragraphs of Anathem, where the characters discuss disinformation campaigns on the internet powered by "Artificial Inanity" programs.

sadly the huge leaps forward in machine translation are likely to deprive us of such reliable gems as "dry" and "fuck" in Chinese using the same simplified character or my all-time favorite "Racist Park" (which was also an accurate description of the park, as it happened)

The European Commission has rolled out an alternative to Microsoft Teams.
But officials using it aren't impressed, with one describing the tool as "absolute shit."

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.

FT letter on where AI might lead www.ft.com/content/aaac...
The Anthropic tweet about the risk of AI destroying human life suggests that AI companies are developing systems on a similar basis to the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation and its Genuine People Personalities program, which if you remember Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy resulted in Marvin the Paranoid Android, rather than following Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.

Wodehouse said it best (see alt text)
“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you're someone. You hear them shouting "Heil, Spode!" and you imagine it is the Voice of the People. That is where you make your bloomer. What the Voice of the People is saying is: "Look at that frightful ass Spode swanking about in footer bags! Did you ever in your puff see such a perfect perisher?”

I hope FIFA hasn't booked someone like Madonna for the World Cup Final halftime show otherwise everyone will be waiting around for two hours for her to show up. Maybe this halftime show thing should catch on though. Can you imagine the acts they'll book for Port Vale vs Gillingham.

I suspect most of the negative posters don't travel with young kids. The joy of a quick drop, usually no queue, no herding family around, and can just swep them into security next day.
