I'm too lazy and cheap to run an actual website, but there's a link tree thing here I update from time to time, where you can find a lot of what my writing life's about. If you're that way inclined. No pressure. Obviously. linktr.ee/guyware

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

That’s it? That’s your whole thing?

FINANCIAL TIMES
My personal style signifier has to be a sock. New & Lingwood's silk evening socks are perfect. They re very slippery, so depending on the shoe there can be a lack of tension. But my whole thing is that I tuck my trousers into my socks. It doesn't matter what trouser; I'll tuck tuxedo pants into socks. I also love a cummerbund.

Another misleading headline. Turns out, AI can only predict the future a little less well than humans. I.e. not very well at all, unless the answers are blindingly obvious

This - the clash of two I compatible, equally absurd policies - is such utter bollocks. If the government doesn’t think people on £13k a year should pay income tax, it should just increase the threshold www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Pensioners just above threshold shouldn’t pay income tax, says No 10 – UK politics live

PM’s spokesperson says those whose only income is the state pension should not pay income tax in this parliament despite the expected rise to £13,000

The "simple" argument is not that "if we create superintelligent AI, we face the problem of maintaining power, forever, over entities more powerful than ourselves." Stop this empty talk of "superintelligence" - the dangers are real, and are about human (and especially corporate) carelessness. /4

The problem with ministers who trumpet their fearlessness in 'making value judgements' is that those value judgements are so frequently incredibly fucking stupid.
